Yeah, US can come in on turn 3 for this game.

For what it’s worth, I think that attacking France is the hardest road in this game because they can be kept out of the war indefinitely if you ignore them.

I was a little surprised you didn’t use your transports to beef up your Western forces and roll over “London” on Turn 4. I was expecting to lose it.

Also think you might have been better off going for the French continent and city in the South with Japan instead of “India”. Japan can usually finish that off by Turn 3. Plus it’s sometimes better off to just leave China out of the war while you’re going after one or the other.

I liked your big transport purchase as Germany, I haven’t actually played a game like that before when also attacking France, but it really gives you the option of taking “London” on turn 4.

Anyways, let me know if you want to give it a try as the Allies or if you’ve had enough.

@Argothair

Yeah, let me know when you are up for new game. We can switch sides or stay same.

Agreed, these games are more for fun, and I think I’ve broken out the battle calc like three times only.

Anniversary favors allies in Europe so heavily, i.e. in terms of NOs, that I don’t think KJF is meaningful. At best I think you try to keep Japan busy so it doesn’t go hog wild while you just smash Germany. But, I don’t know. Maybe there is a KJF in AA50 and I just haven’t found it.

I think I only had 3 bombers. 4 fts at 12 vs 5 units at 7… dicey.

BUT – you kill the 2 inf and block 26, game over

that was the only possibility at around 34% chance for you to survive

Also, man, USA was close to rolling Germany…

It was close – if I had just a few more turns in the Pacific. But you were still pulling good income as Germany for a few more turns at least so even then it was tight.
