You smashed Italy back down to 31 IPC’s…

Hitler is not pleased.

[Witt]

That is still far too much. I knew I had to contain Italy and never did.
Am disappointed in that.
I can’t fathom how you had so many Bases and Jap ground units.
I never got a chance to liberate UK either. Cannot see what I did wrong.

[Witt]

@Gargantua:

@wittmann:

I thought NSW was an AB, hence the DD!

Damn!  I was wondering…

Also, I’ve notice you don’t really build bases? ever?  VS the multiple bases the Axis built… (maybe too many?).

Any particular reason why?

I hate the seeming waste of income to build them, but can see how they have helped you. I like ground  units. Did consider a Naval Base for Brazil, so I could get further down bastard Africa.
I love Destroyers.
I was unlucky with the Convoying of Italy.

[Gargantua]

Income is earned not just at the end of your turn, but during your turn when you destroy enemy units for lesser cost than your own.

That’s how Japan did it.

Looks like checkmate to me.
Having been looking so hard, it hurts! You can get Aus or Hawaii whichever way I go.
Nice, but it has been on the cards.

[Gargantua]

I think you can hold out for another turn or two.

You can BLOCK the invasion of Australia for a turn, using a destroyer.  and you can consolidate your fleet at Hawaii for a stand.

Probably your best shot.
