Heh heh they say this is incorrect, but still happy you finally got a normal opener and not one that was -10 for one side! 😁

@The_Good_Captain You’re overthinking it. VF literally just built one more wave of tanks and that pushed things right back to 99% Germany.

Okay the extra wave of tanks makes perfect sense. Thanks to @VictoryFirst for countering that but I’m going to double down. I’m ecstatic to see +0.37 Germany. I’m so happy. I will copy @VictoryFirst extra wave of tanks to be sure or you can try something else now that you know what’s coming.

You guys are proper opponents and exceptional players, cheers! So awesome to just blast through all this stuff so quick! Very clever!

@The_Good_Captain Just as a heads-up I am not likely going to have any meaningful response at the moment. Now that the goalposts have shifted from defending against a G6 attack -> defending against a G7 (and beyond) attack I am more or less going to need to go back to the drawing board on the Allied side of the house.

That’s fine. I’m going to start cutting videos. I always discuss balance last so we have time.

@The_Good_Captain Do you want to fight to the death again? USSR’s turn is already over so you’re not blocking income anymore but you may be able to kill the carriers if my luck continues to trend badly. From what I can tell, in this edition Submarines do not get sneak-attack rolls when on defense; only offense.

Am rapidly realizing my previous guess about the ME was wrong. The Atlantic really is the end-all/be-all here because of the convoy spaces.

G5.tsvg I agree its an Achilles heel with the fighter push strategy you have mastered. Otherwise, my games with @Karl7 make me feel that the Germans are best invested in the Mediterranean. I have two games with Karl where the Italian fleet heads out to the Atlantic (one where he did it as the Germans and one where I did it as the Germans) and in each game, imo - it would have been better to stay in the Med. Not a hard opinion. Just a soft opinion at first whiff.

@DoManMacgee btw the USA transports have been sub stalled - cannot load from the USA this turn.
