Omega1759 (Axis) vs. Anchovy (Allies) - No Tech / No Bid

@anchovy:

Well, the end is nigh, barring any crazy dice.   :cry:

Germany attacks Moscow with everything in range. Order of loss?

What seems to make the most sense:

AA Guns
Bomber
Infantries
Mech
Artillery
Tanks (which nation keep first)
Tac bombers (which nation keep first)
Fighters (which nation keep first)

Combat move posted here, never seen a battle of that size before  :-o

Forgot to move the Samara infantry to Kazakstan

@anchovy:

I’d like to take this opportunity to announce my formal surrender.

Well played.  I hadn’t seen that Med lock-out in G40 before and I need to figure out a way to counter it.  I went with Pacific pressure instead and that just gave too much lee-way to the western Axis.

Anyway, pretty much mistake-free hockey on your part.  Good game!

Thank you!

I was very concerned that the Med lock out would fall too early (and Germany eventually lose all that investment in subs) and at some point Japan was stretched thin too.

Russia was played very well, I was surprised by the amount of resistance I got!

The US logistics were pretty amazing.

In short, I was very impressed and it’s quite fun to see that my Chinese / UK first strategy (destroying China, taking the Med and putting the UK in trouble) worked against an excellent opponent.
