Epi, you are mistaken, and I disagree for a few reasons that I will dig into here. Axis basically cannot lose this game assuming solid play. The most important reason is the tactical situation: the Allies are locked in a death spiral at this point in the game and there really isn't any opportunity to move out of the vise. I think Bayder knows this, but I'm not sure; but it is easier to feel these things when you've been actually playing the game.
For starters though, even a cursory analysis should favor Axis quite strongly because having near equal TUV and Axis income advantage, or even income tie, this late in the game is a pretty sure sign of Allied defeat. The "income future" is also favoring the Axis. Thinking of the game as on a scale it is already swinging down from a balanced position. But the more important element here is the vise -.
That will simply never change, unless the Allies are willing to suffer ipc loss levels they cannot sustain. Each passing round makes that situation more severe as Germany firms against a possible landing and Germany and Japan pool units in the center of the board, forking the Allied powers. One way of thinking of this is that the US is never going to be able to move to a more relevant position without massive losses and the more units on the board the worse this problem becomes.
