Don’t want to seem arrogant or pretentious, but i’m pretty sure i’m gonna win this one. Just a matter of time. Allies are in big trouble when Germany AND Japan are making about 70 IPC per round and when there is no quick solution to stop that.
About Japan attacking Russia on J1 ? Well, why do you think they add the mongolian rules in Alpha 3 ? Precisely because of that. When you come to think of it, those 6-7 IPC / round are some of the most precious for that can be for Axis : they are a pain in the ass for Russia, which allows Germany to NOT go too hard on Russia without paying the price, which means Germany can spend a lot to stay in control of Atlantic, or at least for a good while. Also, those 7 IPC are extremely secured ones : when you get to lose them (if ever), it takes a very long time to get them all. When you got those 7 IPC, it’s much less painful when you get to loose one of the DEI for a few rounds.
Only thing i think you get wrong : Gibraltar CAN be cracked pretty much faster than you think . You just didn’t figure out yet how to do that ! :wink:
If you want, let’s play another Alpha + 2 game and I’ll play allies so that we get to learn from each other technique…
What do you think ?
