L17 G40 Me1945 (Axis) vs. Omega1759 (Allies + 30) Game 2

It’s really hard to stop the Germans from pushing the Soviets back in this game. Even after killing most of the German air force, 3 fast movers on round 1 and naval builds. I guess the loss of the Soviet air force is a big deal!

I don’t take the loss of the Rus air as an excuse for the deteriorating Allies positions in the Rus front. Sorry. I believe that is the strategy issue.
The game is not over, but let me repeat - pray on dice.

I admit I haven’t quite figured out how to stop this heavy German mechanized build.
