Yeah I’ve never been totally sure what the Allied endgame was here…you built this enormous bomber stack and then…bombed targets of opportunity? You laid some very clever traps for me, but it didn’t seem like in the long run you had any way to save Moscow or India, or to take Berlin or Tokyo. Would love to hear more about what you’ve been thinking if you’re comfortable sharing!

[Sovietishcat]

@Argothair well you caught me off guard with so many mech and I had difficulties gaining momentum in the Pacific and the med which drained lots of ressources that could have gone elsewhere or hold Moscow a little bit longer. I know I cannot hold Moscow forever, but if you take Moscow and you are left with 5 tanks only well I am able to put pressure with in UK in the Caucasaus area and maybe able to go higher up while putting pressure in Normandy or Norway but since Germany was spending 95% in Europe while putting pressure in the Mid East… well the my plan crumbled… And usually when I can succeed, Germany has no choice to retreat and then keep a strongfoot in Europe with USA and cash all the bonuses for USA.

You are exactly right; I lay out traps and most of times I catch my opponents and destroy or almost destroy all the Japan fleets and gain momentum with Anzac and take precious Island, but in this game I was not able to substain any pressure or not long enough.

[Sovietishcat]

@Argothair Or sometimes with my stack of Bombers; the actual goal is just to hold off Japan’s fleet higher up so I can take everything below with Anzac or wait that the Japan player gives me something.
