I wanted to wait another turn for the Ita to build subs to join in the attack on the Bri fleet. But time is running out for the Ger air to hang around and to finish off the Bri fleet before the USA fleet arrives.  What do you say that we create an alternate path game.  If the Axis gambit fails, we continue playing the game, but later we replay the game from end of Bri3, without the attack on the Bri fleet and see how that turns out?
Need OOL for Bri fleet in sz98

[Colt45554]

I would have to see if I’d be down to go back from Bri 3. Probably would but it makes your gambit less gambit-like  :lol:. Destroyers first but then I’d like to hear how many hits each round, please.

[FMErwinRommel]

Wow, 6 hits by Ita, remove 3 DD then 3 more

[Colt45554]

destroy one carrier, tilt other one

Please edit all 6 Ita troops in Alex to Tob or I will do it at beginning of Ger4

[Colt45554]

I dont wana hop on my laptop just for France so can you move the central african troop towards Egypt and the french fig to Gib and do Ger move?

[FMErwinRommel]

Okay, I can make the Fra moves.  I was out for an early dinner.  I was expecting to lose the Ita ships but retreat the air, like Bri was able to do.  We both rolled better than average, but that benefited you, not me, as Ger can’t destroy the Bri air that were on the carriers.  I needed Ita to beat the odds and have Bri just roll for average.
