@Daaras Russians are up.

I mean, with all of the turns the Allies get on this map, it’s reasonable to forget that Axis gets turns once in a while too haha.

@dawgoneit Hisashi’s go

@VictoryFirst

Hi, sorry for the long delay, I was mulling over what to do.

I still think Japan’s position is too hard, but you’re right that things aren’t completely hopeless for the Navies.

I found this idea that I actually quite like:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/41500/surrender-but-keep-playing/1

If I understand correctly, the players will bid on how many turns they can play the losing side without the other side achieving winning conditions.

So I propose that we switch things up:

I’ll play the Armies, you play the Navies. I win if as the Armies I achieve victory conditions within 20 rounds. You win if I am unable to do that.

What are your thoughts on this idea? I think it also helps with playtesting to take charge of both sides.
