Axis 1944 and 1945.....be gentle....

Post by Vanman »

Ok guys. I have never had the pleasure (displeasure?) of playing beyond mid-43. In mid-43 there are signs of the turn, but the Axis are still bloody damn tough and insolent to boot. High quality Panzers and Luftwaffe everywhere, Japanese Naval Air on innumerable islands. China still in tough......

How does it all end. Is it a slow grind down or do the Axis basically collapse at some point and its just a messy cleanup. Give it to me straight.

These are very impressive report rkr. Talk about detail!

I notice you have Khaki in flames. Although I have utilized this as well, the files associated that I have do not include Commonwealth land units. Do you happen to have that available to send me? Or the link? Thanks! :D
