Wittmann (Allies) + Rus bmb vs Gargantua (Axis) G40

[Gargantua]

Only 1 allied sub in the entire pacific makes me all kinds of happy.

Now… if only I could get rid of that damn bomber… and some of these troops defending the islands!

India and Russia-supported China are still a considerable problem.

The question is whether I can clean the problems up, before you are back on an offensive against me in the region again.

[Witt]

I think you have done for me this time.
I will have one throw of the dice with the US in the Atlantic, then it will be all your way. I think I should have given up hope of retaking UK much earlier. Buying Atlantic on US 3 and 4 may have been my mistake.

Have not seen map after Japanese go, but did not expect or think you could get everything.
I expected UK fleet and Java.
Until tomorrow then!

[Gargantua]

I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit.

Yes - of course I think I am winning, and I am happy with the prospect of the board.

However…  Russia is VERY strong, and Germany is spread thin.

Italy is also about to get popped, depending on the allies moves.  It’s been very difficult to make any gains, with all the pressure you are putting on egypt, and your control of the middle east.

Yes the axis are now in the drivers seat.  But the allies still have alot of fight in them.

I think my US Fleet is safe. I would  hope not to be proved wrong!
The UK Sub has gone too, you will be glad to know
I was very hopeful of crippling your Carrier. Could have got that pesky Transport too.
Italy next.

[Gargantua]

Your fleet is safe so long as Morocco doesn’t fall.

If it does… (and I am attacking it with Italy) there is a 98% chance your fleet will be obliterated.

[Gargantua]

Of course… there is a 22% or better chance you could hold Morocco, and that would mean that the Italian capital is under threat.

So… it’s a bit dicey!

[Gargantua]

You will not be pleased to learn that Morocco has just fallen to the Axis…

Hmm…

We have a problem.  I wanted to change my NCM into Romania, but it won’t let me. Says I “transported” the units there.

Will try to remove the 3 tanks there on that save file just posted.  Hang on.

Hmm…

It won’t let me remove the tanks in Romania…  Give russia 10 tanks, and attack romania obliterating the force there.  Then remove any excess your tanks.

Romania should be empty.  all my armor I’ve added to Slovakia.

Well done. A because I was so scared of losing Gib, that I left 8 there instead of 6 and 6 in Morocco.
Am at work. Will look tonight or tomorrow morning. Do not wait up!
