S03 Gamerman01 (allies +12) v JWW

Takes a long time when you get 2 bombers shot down every time you try an SBR!  :wink:

:-) To comment further is to potentially help you, so I will refrain.
Mark my words, this game’s mine.

One thing I will say after glancing at your map - looks like the US is going to start going Pacific.  The end game has started…

When the German AA guns cool down, they will be losing more men than they build.  It’s the beginning of the end.

Funny how you always talk tough right after Japan’s turn.  Always looks a lot better than right before her turn.  It’s like in the Classic game - Axis feels good after Japan’s turn, Allies feel good after the 1-2 punch of USA/Russia…

I have never, ever seen the Allies lose when Russia is this strong, gaining the big NO for an extended period of time.  And this won’t be the first time.

Did you not notice Japan’s income peak a few rounds back?  It’s all downhill from here, man.  :mrgreen:

Let me put it this way  :wink:
1.  Russia stretches from Poland to the Far East
2.  Chinese are building 2 men a turn
3.  Germany/Italy reduced to trading Cze and NWE, and now giving up France
4.  America starting to go Pacific
5.  Japan’s boundaries shrinking for 2-3 turns in a row (Africa notwithstanding)

These are all very powerful indicators of an Allied win.  It’s only a matter of time, and I’m in no hurry, because to rush is to take unnecessary chances.  I’ve been doing SBR’s for the fun of it, because even if I get shot down like crazy (as I have), there is still no way I can lose this game.

I wouldn’t say anything if you didn’t.  :-)

Forgot something
6.  Russia has a destroyer and an aircraft carrier

Enough said.  :-D

Bah, likely right.

This game will just always stand as a reminder to me–KGF should always mean Japan KRF.  Japanese boots in America, as tempting as it always is, are almost always more useful in NRussia or China.
