I think Sugar's main strategy past NA is to grind the Soviets down by attrition: wipe out more MPPs than you lose yourself, and slowly, inexorably take the main cities.

Then its a simple paradrop into London after a turn or two of operating units.

I made that sound so easy. Its probably pretty hard.

Korut seems to have tried to delay in NA, while building up Russian forces (and tech, more importantly, so the air war attrition is painful.) Greece might be a nice side show, but I think he should have waited to do that. Its also unfortunate he took so many turns to get Iraq.

Its an exciting game.

What is the Spain/Vichy North Africa situation? Partucularly now that the RM is gone.

Does winning for Axis include taking London. That seems like it’s to much.

quote:

For an Axis Decisive Victory, the Axis need to
capture Paris, Warsaw, Cairo, London, Moscow,
Leningrad and Stalingrad, while also retaining
Berlin and Rome.

At 8th May 1947, then the following conditions will apply:

An Axis Major Victory will be won if the Axis
hold Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Paris, London and
Moscow.
An Axis Minor Victory will be won if the Axis
hold Berlin, Rome, Warsaw, Paris and either
London or Moscow.
The result will be an Allied Minor
Victory if Paris, London, Moscow and Washington
D.C. are all still in Allied hands.

Believe me, since you only have to make touchdown to London and not hold it to win, that is the easy part. Hard part is to take and consolidate all three Soviet objectives. Also if Axis lost Africa and Gibraltar is still in UK hands, Cairo is almost impossible.

I think Sugar is the favorite but KZ has grabbed some advantages that might contest this game. Namely he retains Sea superiority, UK land unit count is healthy and Soviet land unit count keeps up within acceptable range with the Wehrmacht. But in my opinion whoever wins in Egypt dictates much of the game's fate. If Spain joins Axis income will skyrocket & I can't see her not doing so.

It's only a 25% chance if he does support them.
Still 8 turns seems excessive (unless it is only checking on Allied turns?)

Sounds like an arguement to take the Baltic States as Russia.
