Headline: J1 Sinks Peace Talks.
No scramble from the frying pan to the fire.
Maybe I shouldn’t have worried so much about the Soviet Far East forces.
I think you should’ve covered Europe better with your airforce/threathen. Last turn was pivotal for the European Allies as the get two strongholds in SF and Greece. Now UK is up at full income too, which will make it hard for Germany.
In Pac, you should’ve maybe stayed the course, right now there’s been a stalemate for some time giving the Allies respite and slowly building an irritating Chinese army. You went back and forth between India and China, but will now in two turns finally take India on J10. Too late since you let the US in the game J1. That’s my analysis at least, but I’m no pro.
@simon33 No you either have to take care of them swiftly or hold them back.

“No”, does that mean you are agreeing with me?
@simon33 yes exactly. It’s hard if you only do any half measures with them
If you go J1 and don’t get Calcutta it is pretty problematic. At least if I had kept the pressure on, you probably would have kept that huge airforce there. Don’t quite know why I didn’t think about that.
I think I might try a J3 next time. As you say, China getting strong is a bit of a problem.
@simon33 yes and then I had to choose between Moscow or Calcutta pretty much and I think Moscow is more important.

Guess if I had thought about it from the point of view of what you should do rather than what you would do I would have reached the same conclusion.
Didn’t notice your turn post!

@simon33 Ok, started to wonder if you were considering your turn or if you missed my hidden post.
@pejon_88 I don’t understand, why are you moving out of Bryansk? Is it on purpose leaving the Italian stuff there for me to waste resources? Just wanted to double-check?

Not sure of the path to victory from here. Got near to Moscow but you held it, thought I’d eventually get Calcutta but you can (probably) take it back. Urgh.
@simon33 Yeah I can re-take Calcutta if you go full force. Not sure whether I can defend Moscow at the same time.
