Tutor game: AndrewAAGamer (X) vs trulpen [and everyone else] (A+50) OOB

@trulpen

I did a quick check on odds on Moscow on the turn after next. You will need 10-12 allied air in range to keep his odds below 50% if he decides to really go for it.

Game is definitely looking vastly improved with Japan tied up in China, Germany stalled, and the Med about to be turned into a convoy-raiding nightmare for the Axis. The loss of the Italian air force was a big blow.

I like it, but why give up Yenisey. As stands, the position is a stalemate, neither side can advance. The 2 inf aren’t getting anywhere quickly to help anything. I would think its worth it to stand and protect a few IPCs.

bummer. Didn’t see them down there

The good news is that as I see an all out push by G to attack Moscow in 2 turns with max def buy (9 inf + ftr) + max off buy (3 sb + 3 tanks) The battle is 75:25, and just a few allied ftrs can stop that. Russia is turning a corner

Don’t know why but recently I have a grid on this map now. I have not been able to figure out why it appeared and how to remove it. It is very annoying and makes it hard to take my Turn as I am not exactly sure what lines are the grid and which ones are real borders. Anyone know how to turn it off?

Is my Capitol safe? The US has a 4 infantry, mech and artillery attack I need to consider. No planes can make it and no bombard as Japan still has Kamikazes. With no ANZAC transport in range there is no ANZAC follow on attack.

Need to beef up the Philippines so the US cannot push the IJN out of position. Need more fighters there and fewer tactical since Japan cannot hit the Allied fleet anyway. Also looks like Japan can take India and West India and secure India; which is good so Japan can build there next Turn. Need to take Java back. China is not looking good and not sure how to turn that round. Probably can’t. Looks like will need to pull back from that stack so the Jap planes can be freed up for other duties; like landing in India to hold it next Turn and the Philippines. So last Turn holding Anwhe. That means Japan needs carriers to land planes on next Turn to fight the US fleet.
