For reference, here is where we are in the current combat: (First round of combat was 1 hit a side. I tipped the BB for Germany since it was obvious).

If the German bomber hadn’t gotten shot down, I have Moscow at 59%.
Since it was shot down, I have it at 43%. This says nothing for Berlin.

While the dice were poor for the Germans from the first turn and didn’t change, so too were they last game and so its now very important: What do you ascribe your ability to go from 89% German win in the last game to these results with essentially the same dice in this game?

@Daaras Intercept?

@VictoryFirst

Thanks for the response! I thought the Navies were defeated after you broke through the Middle East and proved inpenetrable in Asia (not helped by my map oversights). While I do think I could’ve made some progress in Spain and liberated London, I felt there was little chance of winning the IPC race once the Soviets grabbed Africa.

I’m open to continue playing. If not, I’m thinking of giving the Armies a 300% IPC multiplier while giving the Navies a 200% IPC multplier (so the Navies have 2/3 of the Armies’ multiplier instead of half) as a way to balance the game (more IPCs means more units, which generally means more fun).

But we’ll continue playing first.
