Elevenjerk (axis) vs JapanDOWRound1Fan (allies +12)

Alright, ty for the quick reply!

Hey, how is it going? I know I might be a bit annoying by pushing the thread again. However I hope you can raise the activation energy to find back in the game. I invested quite some time in it and would be sad if we would not continue (soon;) ).

Glad you’re back

Thanks a lot for the game! I have to say that I haven’t seen THAT much of Italian troops marching towards Moscow yet (20 ground and 3 AA). I think it is very strong in case you want to do the G4 and a slower way to Moscow. The thing is that the Italians hat so many units that can openers cannot be prevented and that they are strong enough to deal with UK in the middle east on their own (at least to conquer and hold Caucasus).

I don’t know why I haven’t seen this in other games. Yes, you give up the med but the Italians were strong enough to build decent amount of ground to protect Western Europe. The convoys would hurt from Round 7.
But you made me think the revise the standard 1 Fighter or 1 DD build with Italy I1 and think about at least tank mech I1 to have 3 tanks in Russia.

Cheers,
Tobias
