@Arthur:
Time for the brave attack on Moscow.
And that is the game. Well played sir.
I think I made four huge blunders:
I didn’t move all the infantry from Poland and Germany East on Germany-1. That was bad. They needed to be East were they were
I had plenty of tanks. But I needed WAY MORE artillery brought to the front in Moscow.
I didn’t have enough subs in the Pacific to support my capital ships
I needlessly hung the Italian Carrier. It was not that important to capture West Africa.
I think attacking Russian turn one (both sides) was right. What was WRONG was attacking both the HMS Hood (BB) and the HMS Wellington (BB) or whatever it was called in Ger-1. I should have picked just ONE fleet (North Sea or Scotland) and hit it with overwhelming force, and let you keep the others un-harassed. That way I might not have had even one air casualty.
I still love the attack in the Caroline Islands. I had the numbers and the edge. I simply HAD to sink those three transports. Those were all the transports you had. I thought that was your weakest play in the game, leaving all the transports there where I had the numbers. Because if I win that battle (even with just a wimpy damaged Yamato remaining), the Pacific is pretty much done for the allies for two whole turns. True, I have no capital ships, (no warships at all) but you have ZERO CHANCE in helping China or India by harming my economy. So in a sense, I lose all my ships but so do you and (well) that means…… I win. I keep the Philippines, Borneo, and maybe even pull something out of my butt for Singapore. That is a huge financial swing. I keep both complexes (they never get attacked) and I am cranking in the very low 60s in IPCs instead of just… 50. I was going to overwhelm China. Rolling there was huge for you. I think that won you the game. I was scrambling there-after.
Great game. I’d like to play the Allies next, no bid pieces needed. Straight up.

@Arthur:
It isn’t looking very good… still it is fun to do the Moscow attack for the fun of rolling dice.
Its looking bad. I hung my carrier. I should not have separated it from the subs. Nor should I have left it in range of the American fighters without more of a fighter screen. This game is winding to an end. Nicely played.
I keep thinking about the Caroline Islands. I really think I had a serious shot if I sank all your transports right there. Everything in the Pacific and Asia would have been different. Cest la vie.
Strangely enough, if Britain doesn’t reinforce Moscow, I still have all of a 2% chance of defeating it. A whole-two-percent. Lets see what happens in Jutland ver 2.0 battle in UK 7 and see how desperate I am.

I thought this might happen. Your sub sank my destroyer. Good shot. I didn’t build another. Fortunately I didn’t get greedy in hunting other US subs this turn.
@Arthur:
I see a 1 in a 1000 chance of winning in Moscow next round. It might, though, be one of your best options.Â
UK is going to attack the German fleet with all available forces. Scramble the 3 planes?
Absolutely! Thunder and roar, got nothing to lose. ;-D
Just to speed things up, if the British Spitfires aren’t in Moscow, I probably will attack it Ger-8 regardless of my very slim chances of victory. If they are there, then I’ll have to rely on Italy to win by going for Volograd or the Caucuses. At this point all the Germans can do is “hang on”
I have no idea what Japan will do. I have a lot of pieces but too much territory to recapture. I just can’t put either Russia or China out of it.

Tough choices now for the Axis since the Allies have so many areas in which they can attack.Â
I’ve done the math. I can either attack Russia on Germany 8 or (probably) never. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to produce enough resources to overwhelm it. On Ger-8 I believe that with all the British fighters I have less than a 5% chance of defeating Russia. I just don’t have enough pieces. So I think at this point the only way I can win is to get other victory cities. I may have to go totally “defensive” until I can figure out my next move. I don’t know what that is yet.

@Arthur:
The Germans now have a difficult choice of trying to further protect that small Navy by investing in more ships, or letting it get crushed by the combined US/UK forces. Japan has effectively lost control of Asia and will never be able to regain any significant power even when the US is focusing 100% on Europe. Meanwhile, Russia is in amazing shape even without additional UK fighter support.
yes the game is pretty much all about difficult choices. Its a good game. I just keep thinking…. “what if I had won that battle at the Carolines…?” LOL!
