L15 G40 Soulblighter (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies +18)

[axis-dominion]

Yah i probably would’ve thought of the russian carrier buy and ruled it out as well, as multi-national battles like that are complex and risky. I definitely lost a lot in the process, but those trannies had to go!

As for saving the carriers…well I think you made the right choice, honestly. As at least now you still have a very powerful air force, which will be hard for you to afford going forward (whereas America can easily afford more planes).

@Soulblighter:

@axis-dominion:

costly for both sides…as now i will lose two russian carriers!

it’s extremely rare to see a russian carrier, let alone two of them! and yet their existence was ever so fleeting…like a Loch Ness Monster sighting :)

Well I knew there was the possibility of a Russian carrier buy. Hence I had more planes on carriers then I would otherwise have had. I figured however that you wouldn’t bother as the odds would be you losing precious American air. Seems I was wrong. Tho I got scared. I should have saved 4 carriers, forcing the Americans to stay a turn longer, but the above average American dice scared me.
