I was lucky that I suffered fewer than expected air losses.  FYI, computer would not let my bombers go over S. Fra to land in Paris. Because Vichy is neutral, no one can fly over it.  That’s confining for the Axis.  Since Bri scrambled, it didn’t send figs to save Egypt.  Ita will have a field day.  So many targets, so few trans.

I couldn’t tell what the political edit was?  Wow, Rus making big move on Japan.

[Colt45554]

You swapped the tank(6) for a TT(7)

[FMErwinRommel]

Oh, sorry, thanks.  The Rus mobile units and air in central China really gives Rus flexibility, coupled with big move towards Man.  Jap has to rethink.  Wasn’t planning DOW on USA T2 anyway, so may not delay my immediate timetable, but if I have to garrison Man long term it will.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

That was a killer move for Germany in the Med.  Of course good dice helped tremendously, but still it would have been very effective even with average dice.  This is going to be extremely tough, if not impossible to recover for the Allies.  Well played, Rommel.

Didn’t think about a Bri dd being able to block Ita move to Egypt.  Well, there’s other places to conquer.  But it gives Bri more time.

[FMErwinRommel]

I didn’t position axis to block 3 Rus convoy routes.  Thought the 2 Ger dd were subs and moved them to block Bri convoy and now can’t get them to sz125.  Japan didn’t hold back a warship for sz5, don’t know if subs count to block Rus convoy NOs.  We’ll see.

Ita didn’t need to sink the Fra dd, but I gambled and lost the bomber.  At least now the Ita fleet can bombard Egypt.  Wow, UK Pac and Ita both jumped in PUs due to NOs.  This Bal Mod game is fun, especially for Ita w/o bid units to Bri.
