@JDOW:

Wow, 26 rounds, crazy! Who is winning?

If you exclude China (who the Axis have left alone for most of the game), then the Axis have a ~70 IPC economic advantage and a ~600 IPC TUV advantage.

I am too lazy to project it out, but I am guessing that if the Germans can’t capture Egypt in round 28, then the Japanese followup attack will probably be sufficient.

@axis-dominion:

obviously this game is over, but i really wanna see this last big battle go down…ARMAGEDDON

Well, it gives me an excuse to conquer South America with Japan  :lol:

[axis-dominion]

nevermind armageddon, i have so many other games going on i really don’t have the time to concentrate on a lost war. so i hereby resign. congrats, very well played game! it was a long, epic, fun one, and that’s what ultimately matters.

live by the LL re-roll, die by the LL re-roll…

had there been no re-roll, that failure to take NSW would’ve made this quite a different game.

but even after that, i felt i was doing quite well after i retook russia and had some good momentum, but then i made a strategic blunder with my mass russian movements (went too far south out of concern with the japanese approach), and you immediately took advantage and swung around a sizable armored detachment toward moscow. hence it fell again.

i’m also wondering if it was a strategic mistake to trade greece and turkey for the retaking of moscow…i had such a powerful grip all over the med and control of the turkish straits…what do you think??

i will post now. hopefully when you reach the required number of games, we can play another league game this season. otherwise, we’ll just have to wait till the next season.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, I dunno how fast I’ll make the required number of games for a best of 5, but I’ll give you a rematch when that happens.

I think retaking Moscow was the right call … but if you ever have the free time and inclination, we could play a test game from before then for a few rounds and see how it shapes up.

I don’t know for certain what would have happened if the second Moscow fall had been delayed/avoided, but I would guess that Japan would still have grown increasingly powerful and kept the economic balance (excluding China) in favor of the Axis. Such a game might have lasted much much longer though  :lol:

Aside from the points you mention, I think the Soviet Far East army might have made a bigger impact on the game if they had returned to Europe after China was safely liberated. I can both sides of the argument here, but my guts says Korea wasn’t worth tying up those units.

[gamerman01]

Congratulations to both, for apparently having a very fulfilling game

[axis-dominion]

@Gamerman01:

Thanks man. Was one of the funner games for sure!

[axis-dominion]

Yah would love to explore what would happen had I maintained turkey. Mind setting it up for us?

[wheatbeer]

Take a look at G14, is this the right spot?

[wheatbeer]

It looks like you liberated Moscow on R14, so this would be the latest map.

The main Soviet army was based in Rostov at the start of this round.
