What he’s saying is that he won in the pacific, even though America was in control of Tokyo.
I think that’s where the incompatibily lies…
I have won as the axis without a capital before. I won in the Pacific after losing Germany to UK (was not paying attention, gave uk 50/50 at Germany). Then I f’d up Japan, I had egypt with Italy already, volgograd, and all the vcs with Germany, just needed Russia… Lost Japan to America, it was hilarious, so I attacked Russia the following Germany turn and won, so that was that game.
Yeah you can totally lose a capital as the Axis and still win.
If you clinically review the above quotation. I think his error is that he states he won in the pacific. When he actually means he won in europe, after losing berlin to the UK for a turn. Unless he’s talking about two different games.
I may have the most decorated masters degree in bull sht at aa.org, but even I can only translate so much cow.
