Ok, this turn will tell it all - either way, nice work! Your agents did a nice job disguising the Axis intentions… and it was right in front of me all along.
Now I find myself in the unenviable position of cheering for some luck…
It’s a good thing I decided to plan for “what if this destroyer block doesn’t actually work” even though I couldn’t see it not working. The French fighter?!? I did NOT even think of that when I was planning ahead 2-3 game turns to figure out victory conditions. I’m going to have to remember that one for the future. My French units are almost always fodder; like the Irish in Braveheart, they’re cheaper than arrows.
Nicely done.
2 Hail Mary’s left from your own goal line. Here’s the first one.
Even if I lose 12 planes to AA fire, it’s a 99% battle that I should take with 19 pieces left.
Excuse me, Miss. Can you blow on these for me?

Ok. One last hurdle left. I’m looking around for any French or Anzac troops that can liberate any VCs on the Europe map, just in case!
I’d have to say it was a well rounded Axis team effort. Yes, German ground troops did the heavy lifting. And German naval and air kept the Allied navies largely out of play. But the Italian navy kept Gibraltar (the single most important non-VC spot on the board?) out of Allied hands until the game was out of reach (winning an important coinflip battle on the way, which I was almost one piece short on). Freed from defending itself, resources were redirected to Cairo (which needed almost every piece) and further drew British resources out of the Atlantic. The Japanese took pressure off Cairo from the east with a quick capture of Calcutta and the elimination of the Allied navies in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Further eschewing a Pacific victory, the Japanese push to the Caucasus ensured than any Soviet counter would have to be so large that the Soviets could not effectively split their force and had to throw the whole stack at Moscow. And in the meantime, the Japanese were such a threat to overwhelm Sydney, that the Americans had to dedicate enough Pacific resources to at least ensure the game would last past 6-7 turns.
With the exception of losing the German navy TWICE, I’d have to say this was almost EXACTLY the Stalingradski blueprint to Axis success that I use. Ideally, I normally like to defend Gibraltar with a large German navy on the Atlantic side, supplemented by twin airbases on Gibraltar and Morocco for a double scramble. Then by the time I need the balance of the Luftwaffe, I retreat into the Med and try to hold Gibraltar from the inside. That, of course, starts the clock ticking – there is WAY too much coastline to defend if your navy is inside the Med. And with the size of the RAF you assembled, any moderate American foothold would turn into an immediate fortress (and if on an IC, a huge problem for a Germany trying to throw expensive late-push resources at Moscow to make the game shorter).
Assessment agreed, across the board (pun intended).
I had never faced a Japanese bug-out into the middle east, and made erroneous assumptions based on it. Specifically, it helped me decide to dedicate a certain amount of force in the Pacific, where usually I play a holding/trading game with Japan, and crank up the pressure in Europe economically.
So to me, your moves were unpredictable, and unorthodox, outside of Germany. This was to your advantage!
Also to your advantage was the fact that we were playing two different games… you to an 8 VC Axis visctory in Europe; me to an overall economic stangulation strategy with no regard whatsoever to VCs. But this is how we learn.

Another nice move by you - clipping my transport in S Africa. I hoped to make you choose to either face two more land units, or scramble a fighter and lose the use of it on defense.
If my US fighter makes it through the AA in Egypt… and if it manages to hit… what will you lose?
Please hold off… I have to redo my combat move vs. Japan.
Ok - OOL vs Egypt if my US fighter makes it through and gets a hit…
Deployment of kamikazes off Japan, plus do you scramble with Japan?
