[Colt45554]

if you object to edit then use first map

[FMErwinRommel]

I’ll have to look at your moves from the game history to see what all happened.  Fortress Europa seems to be doing okay if Ger air from Russia comes home.  Would you have attacked in Europe if Moscow had fallen?  I’ve got friends coming over now for gaming, so will take my turn this eve.

[Colt45554]

I would not have. If moscow fell, hopefully my moderately strong mid east force with stream of egypt reinforcements could delay the german swing south and buy time for a slow, careful push through europe

[Colt45554]

Would you be interested in flipping sides and playing a second game?

[FMErwinRommel]

Yes, definitely

[FMErwinRommel]

Looks like your edit just had UK convoy troops from UK to Norm during NCM.  That’s okay with me.

[FMErwinRommel]

So you found out why the Ita capital was left undefended.  :-) Transports can’t unload in  enemy controlled sea and your carrier air couldn’t reach Ita or attack my subs without DD and carriers can’t attack.
