Texouse (Axis) vs. Trajan (Allies) 1942

OK, finally have time to get to this - was just out every night this week.
Honestly, I haven’t seen any major mistakes. Well - except for mine. The Ukraine thing was bad roll, but the risk made no sense. Losing that Ftr in China just was dumb - I didn’t look carefully to see all the air that could reach. If I do see something, I’ll let you know though.

I might have more thoughts after I download it later, but I don’t see anything too terrible. Russia is very much on the run - I assume I’ll have no way to take Cauc back, income becomes a real issue.

The one thing I’d say is that you are using a lot of resources to defend each of the territories I could land on in W Eur. Basically, you shouldn’t care about a landing, you just want to be able to force me off afterwards. This requires a lot less force, letting you push on Russia and into the ME.

In terms of buying units, you should be buying more Inf. For 6 IPCs, except in very specialized places, 2 Inf > 1 Tk.

Will post tonight.

Hey man - check your messages, think you have an issue after I downloaded.
