Ukraine OOL is AA, 2 INF, ART, ARM

[JDOW]

Even the sub surviving in Egypt sucks :-/

[gamerman01]

Don’t forget you punished the Italians on I4….
That sub is probably dead meat.  You have a destroyer in 92 and a tac in Egypt
Pretty good dice for me on G5!

[JDOW]

Yeah, but with 0/3 I guess it is below average again, but overall nothing really bad, I agree^^ However I would prefer punishing the Germans instead of the Italians.

Your German Route is very nice and as it works definitely superior over walking with the main stack through Baltic states.
I haven’t found a great way to prevent that (one option would of course have been not taking Finland. On the other hand this also killed potential invaders for Novo G5 like now.)
I guess my stack in Bryansk was a bit too large and I could have parked my Mech Units in Smolensk to keep pressure on Novo. However you could have can opened with IT in Belarus and then walked into Archangel. And I did not want to put Units there.

So maybe just the Russian destiny to lose Novo G5 without retaking plus Caucasus and Volo falling G6. At least I think it is not a no brainer to prevent that.
I also saw the sz104 blocker coming but it was difficult to prevent. The only good thing is that this leaves me less options and less of a headache in my UK/US block:)

So the Axis are doing well but hopefully still have some work to do:)

True, glad I put him as outpost. After his unusual route starting in South Africa I am happy it seems that he found his dedication:)
