sounds good. Things in europe are about to get ugly quick. so I think this one is done. Really good for me to see how it played out.

Im good with allies again. no bid is fine with me.

Oh, and you were taking too many high risks, and all of those risky battles that bit you, they added up quite significantly.

@axis-dominion said in 19L axis-dominion vs majikforce (allies) bm3:

@majikforce if you want, I can go axis again. give you another chance to redeem your allies ;)

LOL! Let’s see if I qualify as insane. Doing the same thing over again expecting a different result. I’m down! Fire it up!

@lebowsky I agree, this is a lost cause. germany will soon corner and destroy your Russian forces in scand. and will overtake the Middle East. hard to stop the euro axis powers at this point. and Japan is strong in its own right. gg

go ahead and start the next one up as axis. we can make it a 2019 if you wish, and go at whatever pace you find comfortable.

I’ve been using Most Holy’s Research Fac. rules basically it’s what was listed above but each power can have 4 not 3.

@Cmdr:

You cannot kill them all, if you do, how will you gloat?

Oh yeah.  You have to leave some of them alive so you can point and say “Nyah, nyah, we beat you.”

The rules make it a challenge, but like anything else, it has it’s time and place in the game. Wait for your opponent to leave a factory undefended with aircraft, or to slow down their economy when they need it most. IMO, Germany should have 2-3 bombers by G6 or G7 and should use them to make Russia spend precious dollars to repair ICs, while simultaneously combining with original Luftwaffe/methodical small naval purchases to keep the Allied fleets at bay.

But… losing a bomber sucks.  :oops:
