40 Europe 2E Colt(Axis) vs FMervinrommel

[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.

I should have moved the US bomber out and moved the Fra inf to Tobruk.  I was saving Tobruk for a Rus tank.

[FMErwinRommel]

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.

Getting f’n ridiculous. 0 hits on 3 4s and 2 2s and 2-for-2 on your 2 2s. I should’ve brought more air clearly but it was just easier to hit ctrl click on the west germany stuff  :lol:

[Colt45554]

1 3 and 1 2 for you, my bad

[FMErwinRommel]

When I read the Marti, the die rolls are not the same order as the units, so I thought only 1 hit.  I could have attacked E Pol with an inf and art (or 2 art), but deliberately used a tank and art to only use 2 units while giving me a 3 attack if the first unit was killed.  Also, better defense, which turned out to be decisive. as a defense of 2 wouldn’t have given 2 hits.

More than half the time I get an error message when trying to post saying that a posting from this IP was made less than 15 seconds ago.  Do you also have this problem?  I will research this.  Ger rolled well in Hungary, which I expected to take; and Rus rolled badly in Kar, which wasn’t guaranteed, but still let’s Ger air land.  I abandoned Novo, it’s doomed.  But I can counterattack.

All those 60 PU builds for the USA is finally allowing it to be a threat to Italy.  If Rus can just hold out.  With Ger building 10 inf for the past 2 turns, even with expending some in the west, Rus also had to switch to inf.
