Japanese income so high will make it hard for USA and the allies generally. Not sure what you should have done differently though.

@Stucifer said in L24 OOB Stucifer (X) v FlyingBadger (L+48):

Headbutting ineffectually against the stone wall of Russia wasn’t my best play but I enjoyed the Pacific war a lot. 🤓

I did put most of the bid and early US production into Europe, so Germany/Italy had it tough. I thought you played it well. I had to constantly check against the threat of invasion or losing the Channel fleet, and was unable to breakout or invade elsewhere. Luckily the Russians were able to hold on in Bryansk and stop any Axis slipping past into the Middle East.

You did well with Japan, and caught me out early on - ANZAC never had many resources to build and the US had to pour production in just ot try and hold on. Luckily taking Australia is a little tricky with the capital tucked away.

I think you played better overall, and I am grateful you offered a big decisive battle. The dice heavily favoured me, otherwise you would have been victorious.
