Savegame

Not sure if I can save this game. Thought I would get Egypt back more easily than this! With your fleet hiding in sz97, I can’t sink it any time soon. Also, evicting Japan from Alaska will tie up USA for a few rounds. Was the game lost from the first moment I gave up Egypt stupidly?

What do you think?

@Adam514

I decided to bring cruiser to Paulau even if you disagree with US dd to sz33 - in that case just edit back please. Cheers

Savegame

@AndrewAAGamer So this is a strange game for me. The Allies haven’t really pressed the Japanese any until T8, but have built up naval forces steadily for a single push.
Normally the Japanese fleet would be more lethal and that kind of Allied strategy would lose, but I have had to dump a lot of resources into a land war in Asia…sounds like a movie line.

The German war is an expected problem. The Russians are holed up in Moscow, and I would be starving them except for the Communism NO. That’s a unique twist to OOB. But expected.

Based on your bid going to defend China and Russia, I was looking back to see what else was an option.

The Med? But Taranto raid really doesn’t allow the Italians to grow easily. I could have left S. France to the Germans to help with a build up. But then the T2 Brit naval buy put any thought of growth there to bed.

that leaves Sealion, but with reinforced Russia I don’t see how that works.

So I’m back to where I ended up. A slog fight in the East. I"m making some progress to getting monetary parity, but unless you lose a battle badly, I don’t see how I’ll make it.
I didn’t really expect to win, and my position is not hopeless, but everything is just a wall and the Axis presses are going to be easily countered.
