/////There were better ways to defend Leningrad than to give up all future support of the Norway to Baltic Sea corridor than to sacrifice the transport. I was certainly annoyed with my oversight but with reason.

Perhaps you could’ve landed more air there without compromising other positions? Didn’t look that closely.

Anyway, lets say that the tr hadn’t moved, then I likely would’ve asked you about it.

It looks very dark for Axis, so resigning is not irrational. Japan has not much power left to contest the combined forces of US/Ch/UK/R, and especially the Pac is permanently lost to US/UK-domination.

Italy is relatively the strongest nation as Germany is on a quick decline. It’s just a matter of time until Russia breaks down the Berlin walls.

I don’t mind continuing though, if you prefer that.

In a new game I’d like to play Axis, but with the most recent map and rules. A bidless game is not so interesting, since I’m very sure Axis is at a disadvantage in P2V.

As a good example I’m playing my friend Pejon88 atm and I agreed upon +4 for Axis. He’s a very competent player. Despite a great opening for J, I’m in serious trouble already by round 6, with primarily G not being able to make significant progress on the eastern front.

I’d say that something between 6-12 for Axis is decent.

@trulpen

I tremble but would be willing to give the Axis + 6.

Ok, we can try that.

@artofwar1947 said in L21 #2 ArtofWar1947 (AX+12) vs. Trulpen (AL) PTV:

I need to look into updating my map.

In my experience removal of the old map needs to be done manually. The map-files are usually found in the C: user-directory and may simply be deleted. Then install the map in the client from scratch. Won’t work for some reason to update directly in the client.
