Now, since we've entered a new year, time for some statistics.
Next a soldierssong: "Bomben auf Engeland" - Luftwaffenlied

6 Allied attacks have been done during the war so far. To be exact a -3, 0, +1, +4, +13 and +17. This is pretty much what was to be expected, since it isn't good to attack, when you are on defense. Often the Allies in the first couple of years can't handle the worst result possible and that means: don't attack. This will stay so during 1942, but during 1943 the USSR in particular will make a lot of low odds attacks as an attrition warfare, since the Allies has got more build points available than the Axis has got.
99 Axis attacks have been done. Of those 27 were +8 or less. I consider +9 to be somewhat of a turning point, when using the 2D10. If you go below this, the chance of considerable losses is a lot higher. 26 attacks were between +13 and +20. Every attack from +13 onwards I consider to be an attack which has a high chance to succeed. This is because the dreaded 14 result is out when making attacks.. Finally, the Axis made 16 automatic victory attacks (+21 or more).
So far so good. However, if you look carefully at the oil situation, the problems are slowly growing for the Axis. Already they have more units fighting, sailing and flying that they have oil for. This is an ongoing concern. So the tactics for the Euroaxis is pretty clear: get the Caucasian and Persian oil fields. Apart from that, the Axis will slowly start thinking more defensive from now. After all, the game is about being in the war at the end of the J/A 1945 turn for the Axis, not about killing of more Allied major powers (how nice it looks, the USSR is still pretty strong and the Axis are not going to be able to defeat the Russian bear. Sure, they will make spectacular advances in 1942, but the Euroaxis should preserve forces, not fritter them away.) Japan will take on the US early 1942 and take the Philippines, but after that, they will rely on defense first, and offense later.
Looking at the production figures, the Allies produce now 68 to 57 for the Axis. This is a normal situation end of 1941 and therefore, the Axis should become somewhat more carefull and not lose a lot of units for a long, long time. The losses for last turn were already very high and those kind of losses can only be allowed, for as long as the Axis kills 1,5 times more than the Axis own losses. That is pretty difficult to do, especially with the US in the war.
How is the world looking...
Let's start in West-Africa. Here, there is a nasty Italian TERR, acting like the terrorists in places like Mali, Nigeria and Central Africa today. That nasty Italian fellow keeps threathening to capture Free French countries. The CW MECH should have finished that one around Bamako already. However, I ran into a problem here. Apparently I didn't know the rules good enough. Well, anyone here that has played the boardgame and starts MWIF, will get some nasty surprises, regarding the rule book. Problem is that the CW and France need to get rid of the basterd. How? Thats the big question here...
