@cds

I concede. The situation does not look good for the Axis. You win.

I’m not one to leave loose ends hanging though, so I had the hard AI on TripleA finish it:

AI completed game.tsvg

The Allies very clearly won, confirming my assessment of the game. What do you think were my main mistakes and what did you do with the Allies that was particularly effective?

Good game. Hopefully we can play a rematch.

Yes, good game, sure rematch is fine.

Yes, at that point it was most likely (unless dice would mess it up) that the Allies were in a winning position.

Your main mistakes were speed and aggressiveness all trough the game. Plus purchases are very important.
The Allies were particularly effective in slowing the Axis down, keeping them in West-Ukraine and having a British landing fleet at Normandy very quickly plus I also kept control over Egypt and the Mediteranean was also quickly under control a couple of rounds after US were in the war.

Lets switch sides and Ill show you what kinds of ways there are for the Axis to use speed agressiveness and surprise to their advantage.

@cloud7707 I’m glad to see ongoing interest in this mod and that you are creating your own content, but I disagree with several of your changes; I think they make the game both less fun and less historical.

The Doolittle Raid scared the heck out of Japan very early in the war and prompted them to keep significant naval forces near the home islands for years to come. As long as you keep 3-4 units in SZ 62, it’s safe enough; fighters alone are not a great attacking unit and it will rarely pay for the US to launch a serious attack directly from SZ 56 (or vice versa). The game is already a little artificial in terms of sending everything to the front lines with zero garrisons, because there is no fog of war and no paratroopers – I would not want to move things even further in that direction by killing off the reason for US & Japan to garrison their home sea zones.

Australia was a major contributor to the war effort, both in terms of high-quality infantry that fought in the middle east and india, and in terms of providing subs, destroyers, and cruisers that fought in the south Pacific. By making both Australian sea zones worth only 1 IPC, you destroy the possibility of an Australian factory – or really any south Pacific factory until the game is basically over and you are just building factories in, e.g., Borneo or the Philippines in order to ‘win more’ after Japan has already been decisively pushed back. This makes the already-weak “Kill Japan First” strategy basically impossible.

Since each game turn represents at least four months, I see no reason why the US shouldn’t be able to transfer fighters directly between the west coast and the coast of Morocco. There are very rarely any sea battles in SZ 56 or SZ 12 once the US has carriers in play that could enable those transfers, so we’re really talking about a non-combat redeployment of forces, and four months is plenty of time to get those planes across the world even if you have to ship them in crates and reassemble them at the end.
