Game is getting very interesting as summer approaches.
As the Axis I have done a small offensive in the South of Russia causing a mass relocation of Soviet troops from Moscow. The goal is go East son, go East. I prepared during the winter and sneakily moved my armor units around so he didn't see. Sub warfare is going good as I try and keep 8-10 subs around. Many are now getting damaged but due to Battle's lack of escort investment we have handed him quite a crippling whack to his convoys. Even so it isn't a blow out.
As the Allies summer is close to approaching. The Allies landed in Portugal and taken it out. We are currently reinforcing it for a summer offensive to relieve the pressure on the Eastern Front and to take back Gibraltar. The Russians have a strong force which is experienced but this summer will be tough. The Allies have 4 strategic bombers pounding Axis industry. I am taking losses due to AA fire but if I can exchange 1 for 1 I am fine with it. They are also getting experience due to Battle not putting any fighters against me.
So the big differences in the game so far
Me Axis.....
Me - solid sub force, strong Germany.
Battle - solid Russian army lacking experience. Western Allies are suffering from uboat losses
Me Allies.....
Me - solid escort and MM force, UK strong.... Russia is on the weaker side but has ~9% more default experience than Battle's Russia. The Russian army is slightly less physically powerful. The Russian air force is mauled pretty badly.
In both games the Allied air force is about on par with Germany as it should be in 1942. Only in 1943 should the Allies overtake the Axis airforce.
It is a very exciting game with a lot of strategic maneuvering. The two different games already have shown me some small adjustments that need to be made along with my other 2 vs Hadros.
