Edit: What-if UK did not go for aggressive Medi fgt buy in UK1, and instead focus on sea mine in sz 12 and 15, and buy inf art atg at ratio of 4:2:1 and occasional tnk bmb for Cairo.

I would take you up on that, but the battle wasn’t actually an improbable battle (I’d rather reserve for a 1% chance kind of defeat). There was a 30ish% chance Germany wouldn’t make it.
I squeezed enough out of FRA that Italy should be able to take it even with potential UK reinforcement. Ironically I just started a game with Axisplaya where I left Paris for Italy on purpose. SZ106 hurt my plan more than anything, but that wouldn’t be a fair reroll either.
Alternatively we could reboot with me as Allies if you think this G1 will make Allied victory too easy.
Well, they were gambles and since you are ok with the outcomes we can continue. I’m not saying this will be easy by any means, its my first A3 game.
I’ll keep the rolls as is then. Non-com coming.

DOW on Japan, if I understand correctly, the 12 IPC no is gone, and as long as I don’t attack a Japanese territory next to Mongolia, I can count on Mongolia as a future ally should Japan hit a territory next to Mongolia. If that is so, then DOW permits USSR to enter China. Why not :)

Notes:

No scramble in z109 if whole German fleet attacks, Yes if only sub and 2 air units hit
No scramble to protect the US fleet in z54
US will scramble in z35
I’ll do France after Italy to see if they capture the Capital
