@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in Question Regarding Normandy/Bordeaux:

@shadowhawk dice games don’t come down to dice if there is a sizable skill gap which we still see even for League matches. The top players can beat the mid-tier players 95% of the time and the bottom-tier players 100% of the time.

Normandy is usually invaded when the German Luftwaffe is off in Russia providing pivotal support for a turning point move, protecting a stack and/or threatening the key Russian defensive territory. They fly back the following turn so having additional allied fleet defenses becomes crucial or else the beachhead will become overwhelmed.

Im merely stating that with the state of the game ( which has the same starting moves ) the only difference going into round2 will be how the dice fell round1.
With nearly equally skilled players its down to dice.

When germany lets the allies have normandy and there is no threat there is also the option of taking south france for free. But thats kind of the problem isnt it, every move we can come up can be countered but not every move can be done at the same time.
Also when those airforces come back you can predict as US so your carrier can be build that turn, Or the UK can just build a carrier on demand.

@aequitas-et-veritas

An additional hit by the Kamis would have cost the additional loss of one to four US subs. With no more Axis surface ships, the remaining US subs are essentially useless any way. If you wish to accept the outcome of the original battle, Japan will have 2 kamis to defend against the attack of its DD in SZ 7 by ANZAC. If you prefer, I will refight the sea battle this afternoon.

@shadowhawk

Yeah, as the Allies I did make some mistakes. Hence my conclusion that the strategy is indeed a no go if your opponent can recognize it.
