yes you are right.duncanr wrote:its basically a roll up operation for the Allies as you have lost effective air capability
but I think its probably just to much distance for the Allies to cover in the time left

You were to aggressive and blew through the Luftwaffe to fast. Probably it wasn't necessary to bomb the transports in France, or protect the beaches in Denmark with the Luftwaffe? Sending all land units to make a double defensive line on the landing zones maybe to aggressive also?
I could not see how you could lose this game up to this point, But you could be in trouble now?
Hope you hang on for a minor victory!
I believe that Supermax still has the best chance to win. The main reason is that the Allies are behind schedule in Italy and partly also France. Supermax went for a lot of high tech air units and had his fun with them. However, the price was that his oil reserves dropped fast.Cybvep wrote:1-2 pages ago most of the folks here basically said that Supermax's victory was certain. Now they are not so sure anymore. I said it before and I will repeat it now: the game is not over yet. CEAW is not a game that ends in 1943 or 1944. Before making final comments, I think that we should wait for the game's conclusion.
And wow, look at Supermax's oil. I thought that he would have no oil problems in this game, but it seems that the Luftwaffe was an oil sink. BTW conquering Yugoslavia gives extra war effort for Romanian hexes, which means more oil in the long run. That's why I think that usually it's quite beneficial to conquer Yugoslavia.
I'm wondering whether the Allies have PP problems because of invasion capacity, because they made many landings in the Med and in Europe.
ATM my main concern is that Supermax doesn't have troops in all those juicy fortress/fortified hexes. He will need the entrenchment bonus.
I have only completed about 10 games but I have read the AARs for years. Followed this one for awhile.Plaid wrote:Actually Germans miss like 1500+ PPs from various sources (building surface navy, strategic bombing, rail overuse every turn, no surrender of Italy).
Sure, Max can field little less units, than would be ideal.
