I do not have a path to victory, anywhere. I thought I was on the right track but a few bold moves by you took me out again. I am not sure what to do to get better.
Good Game.

Thank you for the game.

I’d say you have improved over the time period we have been playing. You have played better in this game than our previous ones, if you hadn’t lost those fleets I’d be in real trouble as I took too long to take Moscow and Japan has had to retreat from India. You reinforced the Middle East well, which is important for the Allies to support India and block any German advance to Egypt. You fell back as Russia in good order and made it tough for the Germans, and cleared out the Med and bottled up the Italians.

I would suggest the lesson to take from this game is to double check what enemy planes can potential attack your fleets, and to be aware that the Italians can build an airfield under German planes to increase range. If possible, it is useful to try to have Italy keep 15 IPC in the bank for this purpose (but more important for Italy to survive, can open against Russia).

I will have a look back at the game and see what tips I can offer.

I think you should be proud of the improvement I have seen you make.
