We shall see what will the next turns bring.
Cheers :)
I’d certainly rather see closer TUV and units, but axis are typically behind in those at this point. My bigger worry is the position in the pacific. I should recover somewhat here, but not sure if it will be enough to turn it around.
And I see you are playing JDOW. That will be a challenge. Good luck!
-
actually, I’ll make one edit here.
-
I am playing against him, but i got diced in sz 96 rd 1, and made some small oversights so i ll loose cairo rd 2 (and not be able to retake it).
-
@farmboy take Ur time. I cant play in the next four hours. I am on mobile
-
@Amon-Sul Yeah I saw that dicing. THat should usually work, but that result is why I always try to have two air + sub there.
-
it is tough to come back from I think too.

Yeah, Japan needs a ton of land units to counter all the challenges in the Pacific.
But Germany is making progress in Europe so we shall see.
