LOL. I am red-green colorblind and I thought that transport in SZ6 was a Japanese one. Messed up my build and not attacking it. Oh well. I guess that will teach me to double check the “Territory” function in the future.

Go USA!

@max334
Thank you for the game!

I can give you my opinion if that is what you are asking for. The overall key to the game is to remember the Allies are collecting more money and the Axis have the initiative. So, the Allied goal is to slow down the Axis till the Allied money can overwhelm them.

EUROPE: Moscow fell on Turn 6. The earliest it should fall is Turn 7. No pressure was put on the Atlantic Wall.

Russians: You bought a bomber and a fighter. Those are both offensive purchase instead of defensive. Due to this you did not have enough troops in Moscow to defend it on Turn 6.

UK Europe: I like that you did Taranto. Personally, I feel that is the way to go for the British. However, once I blew up the fleet you never came back into SZ 97 to do convoy disruption and that allowed Italy to collect too much money. It is bad enough Germany gets a ton of money the Italians need to be held under $10.

US Europe: There is significant debate on how much money the US needs to spend on either side of the board so I will not get into that. However, since you did push into Europe the US going for Norway and Normandy/Holland is better than going into the Med. The Italians can fight off the Med attack while the Germans have to fight the other attacks which weakens their attack on Moscow.

PACIFIC: Overall you did okay here. The game was lost in Europe, not the Pacific. You can’t really stop the Japs from taking India. You could have been more aggressive attacking the Money Islands.

US Pacific: Except for the accidental attack on Japan not knowing that island was part of Japan you did okay here. I would like to see the fleet in Caroline’s as it threatens the Money Islands and Japan and allows ANZAC to take islands or at least trade them.

China: Did well with them.

UK Pacific: Did about as good as could be expected.

ANZAC: I would like to have seen you take Dutch New Guinea sooner. That was $5 you lost for quite a while.

Hope that is useful…
