Russian tanks are great if Germany decides to swing down towards the Middle East instead of a straight march to Moscow. They are not going prevent the stackwalk any better than artillery except perhaps if the calculations show that the extra firepower will slow down a critical step like Rostov or Belarus. Hence it could be good to build the tanks on turns 3 or 4, depending on the German DoW. No need for them on Round 1.

Central Asia after Fr2

Woah, have never seen Axis troops on the border of S.AF before… are those German artillery’s? How did they get there?
By the way, that early UK air attack on germany sounds kinda folly (though also gutsy), were you trying to kill a bomber there?

Japan is making no money. I don’t see a way for the axis to win the pacific.

The German figures in Southern Africa are planes. Germany migrated its planes from Tobruk to bolster Eastern Europe with a couple to Southern Africa last turn.

Nice post, thanks for supplying the pics!

What has Germany taken? Lost territory in Eastern Europe, and no other gains to offset? Seems like eminent allied victory just do to the economics of the board.

Apologies for poor quality photo of European Board after R4. Germany has taken the 3 french territories, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria. Germany should be able to take some of the territories captured by Russia in R4.
The economic balance favors the allies.
