In the west , Allies finally took Paris .
Yes , if next turn is fair , it is hopeless for Axis.Cybvep wrote:The Axis is very weak. This looks like an Allied Minor Victory for me ATM or a Stalemate at best.
The Soviets will keep up the pressure during winter, only mud will give you some respite.
I am sorry to disappoint you that I don't have enough units to do the defence around Humburg & Berlin .zechi wrote:I still don't think your situation is so bad, even with another fair weather turn. You are too pessimistic from my point of view. It is completely normal that the Allies reach the German frontier at this stage of the game. As soon as the weather will change the Allies will only advance very slowly, especially in the west. In winter turns the Soviets will have an edge over the Germans, but will still advance only slow. You still have intact defensive lines on all fronts. Of course you should prepare for the final stand around Berlin and Hamburg. You should have a fully entrenched SS Mech with Manstein in Berlin if possible.
It would be interesting to know your income per round as wells as oil and manpower situation.
I think it will be a very close game and these are usually the most interesting ones.
yes , every city including Humburg & Berlin to Red one .zechi wrote:50 PP is low. In similar situations I often had around 80-100 PP per round. Did Joe bomb the German major cities to 0 production?

Yes ,sir ! the opportunity to launch full attack is perfect ,especially after the huge lose of Allies ground unit after my counter attack in 1944 in France . The most advantage for Allies is GDP ! He used it quite well ! Germany now only have 38pp per turn & allies maybe 380 pp per turn ! 10 times bigger !Stauffenberg wrote:I have to say I'm very impressed with how effective Joerock is with his grinding of the Axis forces. I think part of the success is that he knows when to wait and when to attack despite the losses.
He has the patience to wait until he can challenge the Axis and then his grinder starts. Many Allied players launch their offensives too early and lose valuable units too early. Then they have to wait too long for the next possible offensive. Joerock is great in timing his offensive.
Morris has fought very well and deserves credit for fighting to the end. There is no shame in losing against a great player like Joe. I lost against him too witht he Axis. I didn't make any big mistakes in my game against him. He was just a little bit better than me.
It is impossible when you face Joe . April at most !zechi wrote:With some luck you will get muddy weather the next few turns, then you should survive at least until April 1945. I even think you still have a very small chance for a draw, as it can take 2-3 turns to kill a well entrenched MECH in Berlin/Hamburg, but it is unlikely that this will happen.
