  1. I'm not saying they should 'block' each other. But that they should have seperate rolls, and not add % when checked againt axis diplo %.

    And from what I read, Turkey only joined the allies to prevent the USSR from making a grab at there land in the east. Having UK back them made USSR think twice about this, remember they had (USSR and USA) split Iran at the time and while they worked together for lend lease the two 'allies' were doing thier best to make long term deals with the locals to stab each other in the back once the war was over.

  2. Jolly, I think you hit it right on the head. Axis needs to be perfect against good allied (experiance) play... or plain lucky in tech.

    And impressive guts in playing the 'king' and sticking to it for so long, I know I couldnt do it as I like wild, odd ball games vs Terifs thats just useless.

    Hmm have yet to play v8, I could fit in one PBEM (mirror) this summer. Someone interested drop me a note.

  3. I think your missing a few key points Laim. The fall back if england continued to fight would have been Canada and India, not Egypt. That would have gone to Italy pritty fast once the puppet goverment was installed (or kept english under the new king). The other is that Stalin was very focused internally. Yes he was watching Germany but never would hvae been ready to attack Axis Eroupe untill 42. Granted there are some works outthere that say his generals were pushing for a early attack... these are the same guys that survived the purges because they were A) Stalins drinking buddys and fools B) Good commies but stupid C) Had no idea of modern warfare and idiots. Not a group of top commanders able to conduct an attack I would think.

  4. 1) Middle east depends greatly on what force's you have there and long term plans. If you want Iraq as an ally DOW Syria, 25% chance that will bring them in. But USA will jump readyness alot.

    2) Moscow & Krusk are my std objectives by winter 41 but thats asking for alot. Just short of them should be good.

    3)Wait till USA enters unless you dont care, then take them now but DOWs will jump readness up alot.
