@ncscswitch:
Another matehmatical error there Jen.
If Russia has reached Balkans/Eastern…
Russia will be in the ballpark of 32-35, dependign on if they get one or both of Eastern/Balkans (assuming loss of SFE/Bury/Yakut in the east)
Germany will be up 5-7 in Africa as of R3 at most
Japan can’t take Australia and New Zealand by R3
But UK can grab Norway for the fun of it by then and still have a major fleet and forces in Algeria (using the above example).
So, after R3:
Russia is at $32 (going cosnervative and they only got one of Balkans/Eastern and Japan in Yakut/Sinkiang/India)
Germany at $34 (up $7 in Africa, down $13 in Europe)
UK at $23
Japan at $40
USA at $38
So basically, you are making my point stronger by saying Russia is even weaker then my off the top of my head guess? That’s not a good way to make your arguement, dear.
So we have:
Russia: Up: Norway, W. Russia, Belorussia, E. Europe, Balkans (Down: SFE, Bury, Yak, Evenki, Novo, Kazakh)
Germany: Up: Egypt, Italian Africa, FEQ, FWA, Congo, Kenya, S. Africa (Down: Norway, W. Russia, Belorussia, E. Europe, Balkans)
England: Up: Nothing. (Down: Egypt, Italian Africa, FEQ, FWA, India, Australia, Madagascar, New Zealand, Kenya, S. Africa)
Japan: Up: Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, India, Evenki, Yakut, SFE, Buryatia, Novosibirsk, Kazakh, Sinkiang, China
America: Up: Nothing (Down Sinkiang, China)
Totals in 3 to 5 rounds:
Russia: 32 IPC
Germany: 33 IPC
England: 14 IPC
Japan: 49 IPC
America: 38 IPC
And that, of course, is assuming that England doesn’t fall to Germany which would give the Axis + 8 and the Allies - 8
