@zarhunter said in L24 BM FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Zarhunter (Allies+15) #5:

UKP has 1 less PU, I decided to repair 3 but did not want to go back and restart so I did an edit to the complex, thinking I can change the PU for UKP but it was not available, will fix it when the PU edit is showing next.

No problem.

never even entered my mind…

It’s not always easy to spot this. I’ve had it done to me many times. It can be particularly effective as the Italians go after the Russian, UK and US.

Just a matter of time now, I am pushing you a little better but still can’t beat you. Maybe it’s a matter of time? :)

I think we are closer matched this game, and without the loss of the Pacific and Mediteranean fleets your position would be fine.

However, the Axis now have economic and unit value parity, so despite being slow to take India (and hopefully Moscow soon), they should soon be in position to at least grind to victory.
