18L Arathorn Axis vs Axis-Dominion Allies BM3

[arathorn]

I’m thinking about throwing in the towel on this one… I’m not gaining any momentum, on any front, and without putting sufficient pressure on Russia, one just cannot justifying pouring resources defensively indefinitely as Axis…

Yes I would agree with you here. I’m sitting pretty happy with my situation. Axis is on the defense everywhere while still trailing economically, and so when that happens, it’ll just be a matter of time that the allies will make bigger breakthroughs and further reduce axis gains.

Attempted a Hail Mary at Bryansk, with 32%, to see if luck could decide… It started well with 3 above average R1 for me, but your even higher than average hits R1 made it difficult. Then it went downhill.

Good game. Well played. I concede. I’ll post.
