wheatbeer (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +20) BM3

[wheatbeer]

Looking very grim.

Even if I can push to the Russian/Egyptian VCs, I doubt that I can simultaneously guard London, Paris, etc. at the same time.

I want to see what happens for a little bit though.

[JDOW]

Yeah it is tough for the axis. The Russians will do their best to prevent the Germans from pushing through.

I concede this one.

A few turns ago, I thought maybe I’d have the resources to hold a line in Eastern Europe and send any surplus forces through Turkey, but I think I’m way too slow.

Japan is 4 turns away from putting any real pressure on Russia, and that’s also way too slow with the economy skewed this way.

[wheatbeer]

Also, I’m sorry it wound up being a short game … probably not my best judgement, but still interesting to test something different.

[JDOW]

Hey Wheatbeer,

frankly, I believe it was not wrong to concede here. The Russians were simply too strong. The Germans would have never made enough process, especially as the Americans were coming from the other side, too.
Italy was weak and would have been convoyed soon.

Japans economy was wrecked and there was no chance they’d contribute enough to towards Euro victory.
The neutral crush was a bit too much. Too many extra income and units for the Allies.

Short, but interesting game.

[JDOW]

Would you like a rematch?

[wheatbeer]

Sure, do you want to bid?

Or do you want to take Allies at +20 again

[JDOW]

If you are ok with it, I’d take 20 again.
If this is ok, I take almost the same placement, with one change
