I am trying to post pictures of the game, but it is saying I am not allowed to post links, and it is not letting me copy/paste to get a picture in, how can I show you guys?

So what makes you say it’s completely over?  And what has hurt us was on turn two Germany used it’s entire airforce to wipe out what was the UK/US fleet.  It cost Germany some units, but it slowed down the US/UK 2 full turns of getting units onto the board.

Do you not think that producing in Europe, and getting a total of 15ish units a turn (between the US and UK) will put enough pressure on Germany quickly?  Also, I think I can come down and start to help to re-claim africa as the US, granted that’s going to mean purchasing a few more transports, but as the US I think I can afford it.

Do you think that if I were to change strategy a little bit and start committing to buying serious amounts of bombers (The US currently has 2, and the UK 1) that could turn the tide?

I have been urging my partner (who is playing russia) to buy more infantry and less artillery, but it is hard to get him to listen.

He has pictures of the board on his phone, and if I can get him to e-mail them to me I will post them.

Also, I have a large airforce, but that is one of the rules changes for Spring of 1942, submarines and aircraft don’t interact

I am currently playing in a tabletop game of Spring 1942.  We have just finished turn number 5, and due to time we are unable to finish tonight.  We plan on continuing the game tommorow.  Currently the Axis is in a favorable position, but as the Allies, I do not think that they have it wrapped up yet.  So I come here in search of some aid and advice on how we should try and overcome the foul beast that is the axis powers.  So that you can be specific in your suggestions, I will try to provide some context for the game.

Combined the Allies have 8 more production than the Axis.  That is a slim margin.  The UK has an industrial complex in Norway, and the US has 6 transports alternating in a pair, and a quad of trasnports bringing troops over from Eastern Canada everyturn.  Likewise I have 2 transports bringing brittish troops over.  Germany has 4 subs sitting outside of Berlin (In seazone 3?) and a MASSIVE Airforce (3 bombers, and 6-8 fighters).  Germany has a strong hold on Africa, but does not have it conquered yet.  The Brits have all been driven out of India, and Japan is crawling in Russia’s back door.  Japan is sitting on 4 transports, but no industrial complexes in Asia, although it is possible that those are coming.

What makes me feel we have a chance is that I have been able to get 2 additional fighters from the US to Moscow (there are currently 5).  In addition to that I’m getting 13-15 units between the US and UK into Europe.  I think that over the course of the next 2 turns I will be forcing Germany to Defend from my growing army coming from Norway AND deal with the threat of invasion on Western Europe.  Also, the Russian player has probably 15+ infantry/artillerly (8 infatnry 7 artillery, close to that), 2 fighters, and 2 or 3 tanks in Moscow.  he is going to trun and combat the incoming Japanese horde, while the UK and US sew up Germany.  I plan on taking it slow, and painfully, but I think that we can grind them down.

Thoughts?
