@martin Competitive games never see a MIC in romania. So thats the first clue. If you do find a game where one was used despite its shortcomings, it was probably used to buy inf closer to the front immediately. You spent 30 ipcs in Rd 3 and got zero value from it in the game. You didnt really use it much early on and when did use it you bought mech. You could have just as easily used the 30 ipcs to buy mech to deploy in Germany and then just bought mech in subsequent turns.
Just a huge waste of money early on which slows your push on russia and allows them to build an overwhelming force which you wont ever push through.
Your G1 was pretty suspect and pretty much set the tone for a rough game in europe. I would try a more conventional opening. A lot of ground losses on G1 where ground losses are really bad for germany early on. No reason to attack SFr and Normandy. Dont dilute the attack on Paris. And given the choice between 110 and 111 always go 110. Germany bought navy and still left UK the option to buy an airfield and a factory without consequence - devastating for axis. I didnt look at all, but saw a lot of troubling signs in G1-G3 and axis cant afford a slow start.
Didnt look at anything else but those mistakes are hard to overcome.
