@SuperbattleshipYamato said in Winning the game: most common victory scenario:
Well, I don’t play with surrender in my games, so that usually doesn’t happen.
I’d say that most games I play are decided by economic advantages before victory city requirements are reached. Very rarely do I see bold captures of victory cities by a losing side resulting in a narrow victory.
The most common victories are:
German capture of Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad, alongside either an Italian capture of Egypt early in the game or a later drive toward the Middle East and Africa. Japanese capture of Calcutta, Hong Kong, Manilla, Shanghai, (obviously Tokyo), and either Sydney or Honolulu (the latter is more likely).
What would be painfull if the axis are not winning. Because allies win by the book takes ages to really get to. And once you killed the JIN and stopped barbarossa you can take your time and build up. Axis player would be forced to just sit there and wait for the inevitable defeat.
