Dawg v Entek W@W!

The reason why I think it will be an Axis victory is that Moscow is going to fall and the Allies haven’t been able to put pressure on the Germans and will not be able to before Moscow falls.

Made an edit, I meant to only buy 1 transport instead of 2.

@kwaspek104

Yeah I am not sure either if it were dice that caused Germany’s loss or the too many units you sent to the Middle East lol. Probably a mix of both. I think the Germans should be able to win every game unless they get insanely diced. Take a look at my 3rd game against Ragnell, there I got completely curve-stomped as the Allies lol. Here is a link: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/41241/ragnell804-germany-vs-victoryfirst-allies-original-europe-game-3/17?_=1727726657073

However our game proved that the Allies can still win. We need to play more of these games before any of these questions can be answered. I think at the moment the best Allied strategy is a mix between fighters and transports, after my game against Ragnell I’m probably leaning more towards transports than fighters as Moscow cannot be held indefinitely. It is going to fall at some point and you better get some sort of transport shuck going before that happens.

@GuamSolo Hey Josiah try this link the the most recent game–it should come up as Germany turn 1 waiting for your purchases
