Sorry for the slow play. I am wracking my brain to see how I can achieve anything more than a slow demise.

Would it be unsporting to surrender at this stage? Or do you want to see how it plays out.

Russia and European Britain aren’t even capable of defending their remaining territory beyond their capitols. Japan is under some pressure, but far from contained.

Even if I go full bore Atlantic with the USA, by the time I build a fleet capable of surviving the German airforce, Russia will be shrunk to Moscow.

Alright, I surrender.

I can see a few things I’d do differently, but I really don’t want to play as Allies again against you (right now) nor offer such high bids.

If you want to switch sides with this same bid amount (+16 with a 1 unit per tt limit), then I’ll play a rematch as Axis.

Hey guys, sorry to just appear here but I had at the game at an earlier stage and was happy to seen an update but surrendering at this stage really surprised me.

I am not even close to the experience you guys have but I would not assess the situation as hopeless for the Allies.

• Russia has a huge army, it takes some time to threaten them
• Japan has a lot of pressure (Money islands gone plus severe losses of territory on the Chinese mainland will follow
• Russia has a nice army in the east having the potential to reclaim Russian territories
• Monster Italy is nice on the one hand, but for a finishing move one would imo rather take 10 IT IPC and hand them over to the Germans^^

So I’d say if the Allies manage to get the Japanese empire down Moscow could hold forever, couldn’t it? Also in terms of income the Axis have not equalized yet.

I don’t want to say the Axis aren’t in a very good shape, but I would not consider the Allies situation as hopeless. Maybe boldfresh would assess the situation by even expecting the resignation of the Axis ASAP  :lol:

One question about the bid. Was the +16 agreed to be only used in Russia? I see some merits of a strong Russia but so far I thought an bids are placed best where having an immediate impact or a significant strategic impact in future stages (e.g. Inf New Guinea)

So aren’t things like:
Fighter Scotland, sub sz98
or Arty Sudan, Inf Kenia, Sub sz98, Inf New Guinea
a bit more “demanding” to the Axis?
Or if supporting Russia, give them the bomber and add an Arty in Sudan or Sze or so?

Cheers,
Tobias

For +16 I would btw be interested to play the Allies vs you Arathorn. I guess gamerman can give you reference of me being at least tier 2 which would allow you to climb the leaderboard by defeating me. Please let me know if you are interested.
