Such frustratingly stupid play from me with Italy. Need to reassess

[FMErwinRommel]

It was a worthwhile strategy.  The Ita army and air could have destroyed the Rus armor if it took Iraq and then moved into Mid East.  Or Rus would have transported to Africa.  Your loses weren’t that great and Bri will lose a tran and dd, which they can’t replace and can no longer threaten Ita.  You should take Greece.

St. Petersburg  :-o  :cry:

[FMErwinRommel]

Planning the Allies turn now.  Have to determine U.S. and U.K. in conjunction with Rus.  Looking at Novo, while the bat calc said 95%. the initial attack/defense was only 11 vs 8.  So, in hindsight, you should have used 1 bomber against Novo, since you had a dd and sub to take hits from the Rus cru and sub.  Novo was a game changer.  Despite losing in E. Pol, you still had a viable position if you had taken Novo.  But since Ger didn’t take Novo, it doesn’t get the N.O., Rus gets to build there and Rus air can sink your invasion fleet and land in Novo to defend and potentially scramble.

You sly dog you, Bri almost left it’s fleet in place until I realized the danger just before I ended NCM.  I’ve finally figured out the fastest way for USA to help its allies.  Will have to try it out next game.  This is a very interesting game.  But not being able to build Bri in Africa really limits Allies.

If I had implemented the US figs thru Africa strategy 1 turn earlier, I could have had at least 2 US figs in Egypt before Ita attack. I’ve learned a lot from this game and the one with Bismarck.  I’m anxious to play the Allies again.
