Thanks.

Funky scenario in the Pacific, but it seemed like the right thing to do.

I did all the edits.

Too bad, after the failed attack on Germany and the good result the Germans had at Moscow, I expected a German victory as I thought they could easily deal with both, the middle East and the Western front once no Russians to take care of.

I realized too late that Germany will have a very hard time to clean the west once WGR can be fortified as Allies can reinforce WGR with up to 15-20 units each turn (e.g. IC denmark etc)

However I took too much emphasis on making the German’s life hard and did not realized that the Japanese victory was that close.

Fun thing that in the end the failed Burma attack could have been the real losing battle instead of the attack on Berlin^^

wheatbeer

In hindsight, Germany had to sacrifice too much ground in order to win in the east.

I don’t like the Moscow rush strategy anyways, but I probably could have executed it better.
