No problem, ask anything you want, except for the # of my girl ;)
I dont mind explaining, but I always feel that everyone plays with a strategy you cant fully explain and copy, because of countermeasures by your opponent and or switching dice results. Also its for sure that its more fun to find something of your own to surprise your opponents with. I suggest you play on in a game untill the victory is certain for either side.
I think I’ll change my ITA turn.

You forgot US and UK
I concede. I now understand why people love Black Skies. More effective as an American strategic bomber strategy I developed myself (I never looked at the Green Skies strategies on this forum, so I’m not sure how similar it is).
AI is not representative of how this game would have gone. I already had plans to take out UK in the next couple of rounds. Plus the AI in triplea isnt as strong as I would like it to be, it makes rather strange decissions.
But I really believe that you can defend against this so called ‘Black Skies’ or ‘Green Skies’
We can do another rematch, Ill play Axis again and will try to show you another strategy of mine.
Really? How?
About my version of Green Skies: The Axis eventually won, but it was quite close. It was a Global 1940 Game and Japan was defeated just as Germany reached Egypt. There was a good possibility of Germany eventually being defeated were it not for victory conditions.
Thats Global 40, I also play that, but that has been a while. Thats why I am restarting with Europe to get better again (in all aspects of the game).
Lets try a new game of Europe, Ill be Axis again. You can try the green skies!

Do you have the map of that game still?! I would like to have a look at that if you dont mind.
Personally speaking, my Green Skies seems to work better with Japan, where they’re more cost effective (strategic bombers are generally much more useful in naval warfare). That’s probably a major reason why Japan was defeated first. The neutralize Germany you would need land units, which I tried (and failed) to do here.
The game (keep in mind I played against myseolf):
