Simon33 (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies+3) BM3

Hmm, I knew I’d be frustrated with my G2 repair/buy/place decisions G2.

I think in SZ111 G1 I was mostly gambling to recover losses. Not good.

I really don’t like being this defensive with Germany this early. Consequence of a J1+KGF largely I suppose.

@axis-dominion said in Simon33 (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies+3) BM3:

lol OMG never seen so much defense by the germans, ESPECIALLY from you!!!

Yeah, but not properly defending Normandy in aid of a Moscow push hasn’t been very successful. I did consider letting you have Norway but even that seems like it would be the beginning of the end for Germany.

no worries.

@axis-dominion said in Simon33 (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies+3) BM3:

@simon33 sorry for the delay. been really caught up in my game with karl. I’ll try to make my move by later tonight.

I should be pretty happy I’ve given you such a difficult decision. What to do with the US Atlantic forces? I’m not sure on what I’d do either. I’m not sure about the German DOW on USSR though.

Had a look at that game with Karl.wild game. USSR going hog wild but allies losing in the Middle east.

I suppose but you don’t have any US CVs in the Atlantic. That’s got to slow things down.
