Wheatbeer (axis) vs kilroynothere (allies) G40 A3

[wheatbeer]

Just in case you missed it because I posted twice and it shifted to the next page:
page 65 of the Global FAQ will confirm it

Maybe the idea was to stop early naval or air bases in the area.

Allies are hard to play no doubt (they are easier with the newest setup though).

My match against Jercules is kinda weird.  I thought I was dead because Japan was badly convoy raided for many turns and was expelled from China through US/Soviet cooperation.  But the European Axis are probably strong enough to hold off even 100% US focus now.

[wheatbeer]

I do like Germany’s position in our game … Baltic transports seem to be a better investment than a Romanian major IC.  But you have a lot of UK fire power in the Middle East and Africa, plus naval support.  My hope is that Britain can’t both save Russia and fight Italy.

[kilroynothere]

Agreed. I just started a new game with Questioneer and playing the Axis. The initial set up is much more daunting now. Probably a good change as it definitely seemed ever so slightly Axis skewed.

And you are dead on with the UK… can’t fight Italy AND save Russia… Definitely like the tt purchases more than the MjrIC. Gives a bunch more flexibility and options.

Sorry for the delay….

US will change it’s move to take CEL instead of NGU. I have modified the IPCs on hand for US. Thanks again for bringing that to my attention. Had no idea.

Well, Russia has fallen back as far as it can go!  Where are those Western Allies when you need them?!?!?

It seems in the Russian’s haste, they forgot to update their IPCs and turn.

Hey Wheat. Sorry for the delay. Was out of town for a bit and now finding the time again… hope to have my moves in tomorrow. thx

[wheatbeer]

No problem  :-)

[kilroynothere]

Hey Wheat… crazy week. Sorry for the delay. Lot’s to think about this turn for the Allies… decided it is time for D-Day!  Might get pushed back off, but it will be entertaining to say the least. Never have done a D-day or seen one done. So, here we go. Feels a couple of turns too early, but just don’t have much of a choice.
