40 Europe 2E Colt(Axis) vs FMervinrommel

[Colt45554]

More T-34s and KV-1s for the Red Army. I like the aggressiveness

[FMErwinRommel]

Had other things to do, just getting back to figuring out U.S.  Last turn I could have held back and waited for a bigger fleet, but you could have built up also.

i didnt see that but i dont think that affects me so do it during france or i will after

[Colt45554]

4 or more damage to naval bases or airfields make them inoperable, right?

[FMErwinRommel]

yes and Bri can’t repair.  I’ve never had this happen. And no figs to intercept because loaded on carrier.

[Colt45554]

That’s why i showed no interest in taking Gib, so the Americans couldn’t capture and repair facility

[FMErwinRommel]

Need OOL for E Pol.  The Ger army will die without even stepping into Russia.  Building offensive units was the key. Luckily, Rus got the resources to build just in time.  Rus producing as much as Ger can afford to expend on eastern front.

[Colt45554]

Best defense

[FMErwinRommel]

Battle going well for Rus. Big choice on R3 is there are 8 Ger units left, which I don’t want to leave behind.  But if Rus advances, Ger can counterattack and destroy Rus army with ground and air.  But if Rus retreats, Ger air can still reach with survivors of E. Pol.

Sweet, battle of E Pol: Ger -83, Rus -39 (all inf), = Rus +44.  Plus Fin.  Ger -27, Rus -17 = Rus +10.  That’s 2 years of production for Ger and just over 1 year for Rus.  Plus Rus took Iraq.
