You've got great air superiority, which makes me think that you will make it, although I do think that Morris has a chance here.

December 3 1944

Speaking of which, the RCAF has received a batch of some state of the art jet fighters. Too bad there aren't any Axis fighters left to dogfight! Not sure a poll is called for given the latest turn. I can hit every single Axis unit with 2 TAC every turn and they have no PP income; Russia is pulling in about 100 oil per turn, and I'm leaving that last synth oil plant for them, so there's not much to worry about there.

May is a very long way away, 4 or 5 turns maximum to go I would think

DECEMBER 10 1944: THE FINAL BATTLE

Incredibly strong defense to overcome that calls for brute force:











Here's the outcome: 1 turn to go.

January 12 1945 (turn 99): THE WAR IS OVER!

Thanks to all who followed this AAR and especially Morris for the exciting match and for agreeing to play out the endgame. I've attached some casualty and force data for the curious.

Thanks to Sean for an better AAR than mine ! Since I used the same stratetgy in the AAR with Sean & Zechi to test the defence strategy of Axis , It seems we can find a answer that the defence strategy has less than 20% possibility to hold until May 1945 (If the Allies player play as well as Sean & Zechi ), but it easy to hold it until summer of 1944 . It is not a win strategy ,but has little chance to win if Allies did not develope the air tech at very early stage especially USSR . But after the change of Allies ASW ability , this strategy will become hopeless ( in these two AAR , I almost sank at least 900+ pp for UK ). Without sub's help , Axis will suffer from UK & USA from 1942 . It would be game over in early 1944 .

So I am trying the new strategy in the AAR with the great Joe Rock . I am Babarosaing now .

Thanks to all attention to this AAR . Enjoy our game !
