I am in no place to expect a speedy move from you, since I was gone for 2 days, but I was curious as to when you think you’ll have US/CH/UK ready, so that I can be ready to do Italy.

Thinking about the US buy now … not sure how long exactly. I would not plan your day around it though, because I may get interrupted.

Wheatbeer…… this is unseemly.  A guy with a Russian/tetris like avatar abandoning Moscow on R5…  How can the Allies win?

[arathorn]

Wheatbeer, do you want to end this game and start a 14L game?

The allies has minimal pressure on Germany who will just roll over everything.
Japan has a massive fleet and plenty of juice to drain you into the pacific.

I’ll gladly continue, I just don’t see how the Allies can win.

You’re right about the avatar Gamer :lol: I hate losing it as Allies, and I am often slighlty disappointed if I manage win as Axis without it.

If I remember right, I think you posted in a strategy thread that against some Axis strategies the Allies need to be prepared to lose Moscow (I am guessing Japan needs to be dealt with faster?). He threw everything east (no dilly-dallying in Paris, no stopping in Yugo, predominantly mech/tank builds). I tried to get as much to Allied air in range as possible, but it wouldn’t have been close even.

@arathorn:

Sacking or saving the Kremlin usually makes or breaks a game. I did win against Seth after he got very lucky dice and sacked Moscow against the odds, but that was a case where Japan was weaker. You are probably right, but I need to think about it.

Since I now don’t even have to defend Moscow, since you’re out of range by moving to Volgo, Germany will only get stronger. Any pressure on the german west front is a MINIMUM of 2 rounds away for UK alone or 3 rounds if combined with US. Germany has 113 IPC, and will collect a minimum of 80 IPC per round with Russia producing nothing.
Germany will only grow stronger and stronger, while you have to deal with a japan that has a fleet significantly larger than the allied fleet. It is of course totally up to you, and I would be happy to continue since I REALLY like the situation of this game. But if you want to wrap it up and start another one to create some excitement, I am fine with that also.

Let me know what you think :)
