G40 Gauss_Death (Allies +13) vs oysteilo (Axis)

[Gauss_Death]

I disagree, I have lost momentum.

Japan cannot maintain a land force while at the same time building ships against the Americans.

Germany is just barely holding on.

I should have had Japan block you with a destroyer to prevent you from taking those islands. I didn’t even see the problem.
I should have also had Japan build ships instead of the last turn (or two) of mech infantry.

Germany should have set up to attack Moscow last turn. It would have forced you to keep your fighters and bombers at home and thus prevent them from retaking E. Persia.

Ultimately, I screwed up a couple places. From here on out you will grind the Japanese down and following them, the Germans.

sorry for the slow post here. I posted ANZAC and France, but maybe you are giving up? I think the biggest problem for the axis is not Germany or Japan, it is Italy. Italy is no longer contributing

[Gauss_Death]

No, not giving up. Just discussing. :)

Your transport (and infantry) have been sunk. I have corrected the production (loss of 7 since you didn’t capture the Philippines), units (loss of the transport and infantry), and territory ownership.

I didn’t see a way to subtract 3 kamikaze counters. I am down to 3.

OK

Why am I not asked for kamikaze when doing the assault? It annoys me. But according to the rules you are right
