and yes we’re currently negotiating a 4th game, but this time with some small tweaks we’d like to try out that might make it a bit more interesting and different.

Well simon,
Now Allies are thinking whether to lose India next turn or get Moscow captured in a turn. Whatever they decide and, even if Tokyo falls right away, Axis meets victory conditions in Europe by round 11 as maximum. I assume a dice goes for me normalized @75% as calc suggests.
That is my view. Teach me how to save the game and show what point(s) I am missing.The only part of that I don’t agree with is that I can’t see any way that India can be saved, although it can be reclaimed. Perhaps that is what you meant. Moscow’s fall would be delayed by some UK fighters coming up but by round 11 you will have enough, I’m sure. It is very difficult when Taranto fails.
Ok, I have rolled the USA dice (assuming no kamikaze or scrambles) and 3 fighters remain on Tokyo. ANZAC won’t be able to take it and you’ve won.
I don’t really understand how USA can attack both Italy/Mediterranean and Japan in this game (G40). I have to agree with you that 25 is not really enough for the allies, although I had been wanting to try the Yunnan stack strategy for a while.
Thanks for the game! I’ll post your result.

OK. Good luck in your other games.
