This cycle is not happening.....w/o these losses the Axis is allowed to grow
to size that disturb some of you.

BTW killing 5 uboats in a cycle is DOING SOMETHING. 50 points is alot.

In addition, the current version of CW produstion (and US) doesnt allow you
to even match the rein track .
The option is suicide for the CW

to match the rein track the CW must use 32 points a month out of 36
There is no way in hell he can match the track.
I dont give a damn what sophistry is used to defend the option.
The option stinks.

In combination with removing what the third generation designers felt was
excess production
this enables the Germans to try and run down the USSR in the invasion year.
and he may well manage it.

Also the loss of the CRT purchase (for ALL sides) means that the Axis knows
that even if the allies do get ashore
a line of 6-5 will hold them. Because the crt sucks.
One of my gambits was to buy an enhanced CW CRT and then build up the army
fast,

In any case, nothing will stop the Axis if you have a passive CW.
