@nikola1975 A highly skilled Zero pilot.

@mikawagunichi Yes, that was important for Japan.
Re victory conditions. I am reading that controlling 8 cities on European side counts as a victory for Axis. I understand that I should take 8 cities (with Kairo falling, that means one more - Moscow or Stalingrad), but holding them for one whole round? Means if Germany takes Stalingrad, they should hold it until start of next German turn?
Do I understand these correctly?
-
@nikola1975 Yes, that is correct.
-
@mikawagunichi Hm, in that case, I am not sure if you are able to stop Axis win in Europe. If Italians take both Stalingrad and Kairo now, the counter starts.
Americans are not able to take London, Kairo will be pretty safe, and I believe Soviets will not be able to take back Stalingrad with German units going in?
Unless I am not seeing something obvious. We can play it through, of course, no problem, it’s still fun, especially with Japan under great pressure in the Pacific.

@nikola1975 The one in a million shot did not pay off. Congrats, nice win. Your Japan opener was very nicely constructed and forced me to play defense more in the Pacific than I would have liked, which in turn let Germany get out of control.

Yes, it is difficult for miracles to happen with that number of die.
I was expecting to be better in the Pacific, after good opening. But as you said, that allowed Germany to get to the money - and to split the American navy in Mediterannean. It seems now that was the key moment of the game. Italians were back in the game, while Americans could not build a fleet strong enough once again to threaten Gibraltar and consequently Europe. Or, rather, could not do that while not giving Japanese all the space to create chaos on the other side of the map.
It was a great game, I really liked playing it.
