Thanks for your honesty, edit looks perfect

Edit -
Instead of placing the fighter in South Africa, I place it in London and move a fighter from London to Algeria, so the fast way was to delete it from South Africa and add it to Algeria

[gamerman01]

1 more from London to Algeria

Oh, I didn’t see you made another edit there.

Just do the edit again during ANZAC

[gamerman01]

Thanks man

[gamerman01]

Italy has 4 AA guns? Good grief.

[MrRoboto]

Well Italy doesn’t have much else, at least give them AA guns.

[gamerman01]

Time to kick off round 3!
Has been really fun so far

[MrRoboto]

Yeah I can imagine. You are in a great position. Not feeling too comfortable right now. I hope I can steamroll Russia at least.

My Russians never get steamrolled! If you can, you’re awesome

[gamerman01]

I like the tank buys - some number crunchers compare them to mechs and say you should never buy tanks (I know one excellent player used to say that and I was 1-3 against him, but he probably got lucky :hushed: )

Tanks are definitely the best in some situations, especially for limited production (minor factories) and transporting, but I don’t think that’s all…

[gamerman01]

A G4 DOW?! I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. Cool

[gamerman01]

That’s what I’m talkin’ about. You want 10 units on Berlin and maximum short term threat on Russia, you buy tanks

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I just ran the battle calc on some mixtures, and basically a mix of mech and tanks is the best, for offense. For defense, if you don’t count transport or factory limitations, of course mech is superior every time

[MrRoboto]

Overall my Axis game is a lot weaker than my Allies game.

Withing the Axis game, Japan usually is by far my strongest. In most of my games, Italy is doing okay too (considering it’s Italy…).

But my biggest weakness is conquering Russia. I somehow never manage to do it. That’s why I tried to go almost all-in on land units this game.

I really appreciate the dialogue.
I have only taken the Axis 4 times since February 2016! 1 of them is in progress. 2-1 on the others, the 1 I lost was largely because I lost way too many planes on G1. Oysteilo gave a couple back and it still wasn’t enough.
I only take Axis against weaker players so I can learn them while still winning.
Don’t tell anybody.
Russia and India got big buffs in BM. I like that they don’t get steamrolled, but they might have received just a little too much in NO’s.
