@farmboy

Going to attempt a synopsis from my perspective (Axis). Farmboy, feel free to chime in as you see fit.

G1: - attack both 110 and 111. 111 goes well, but 110 losses 3 German planes without killing any Allied fighters.
France attack of all possibly ground forces goes poorly, losing all infantry, all artillery, and all but 1 mech.
J1: - Russian bid is 1 fighter, not 2, but still does the Yunnan stack with 5 inf. After the poor G1, I figure this game is lost, so go all-out risk on, and attack all allies with marginal/even odds at Yunnan and SZ6. Overall goes very well Japan, well enough that I felt it offset some of G1, so we continue!

G2: Due to lack of resources, decide not to take Normandy, ends up being helpful as Allies land there, but cannot use the minor complex. Allies do not make significant headway, as German has much better reinforcement pipeline.

G6: 6 inf + 3 art lose to 1 AA, 4 inf, 1 fighter at Rostov. This was 88% odds to win. This happens a couple more times in future rounds.

R6: 1 armor, 2 mech, lose to 1 art in Ethiopia. This denies Russia the +3 bonus, and keeps Axis in the game.

US7/UK7: ***Allies sacrifice 6 transports to land in Norway
German response is to build transports to land troops in Finland, which stalls future push into Russia for many rounds.
US10: German AA rolls 1,1 on 2 US bombers, providing a bit of relief from the Allied bombing campaign. If not for this, game likely would have ended much sooner.

US11: US Pac fleet able to land ground units in India, making it a lot tougher for Japan to take.

J12: ***Axis makes a mistake, forgetting that there is a Harbor in India, building 6 subs, thinking the US fleet that landed in India can only move as far as the Java SZ. The harbor allows the fleet to unite in SZ55 with reinforcements, and block the subs with 2 DDs. May have been a critical error here, as this build could have been 6 tanks to take down India.

J13: Japan attempts to help Germany with some fast movers, as Germans having trouble against Russian land units with most resources devoted to taking back Norway.

US13: Allies land in Greece/Med

G16: Germans take back Norway

G17: Germany sends all air that can reach to SZ97, in a 50/50 battle to sink a 2 CV fleet, with 5 transports. Allies defend successfully.

J17: Japan eliminates China

G18: Germany again tries to sink Allied fleet with 2 transports, this time with ~60% odds to win, but again lose, resulting in end of game.

The UK air force is enormous, and Axis cannot stop the taking of Rome with the addition of those 2 transports. Japan probably has the land forces to take India, but it will take at least 5 turns to march back down to attack India. Germany will have trouble holding out that long.

@mike64
when trying to open the file, I got a message inviting me to re-install TripleA as there was a newer version. After reinstallation the problem wasn’t solved. Do you have any idea what’s going on?
