Wittman <axis>vs Inno <allies>9 Bids + Black Sea Close Game 5</allies></axis>

[Witt]

Another miserable naval battle, leaves you with a fleet. Use it wisely.
I think I have shot my bolt. Well [played.

[innohub]

This might buy me a little time for Russia, though I don’t know long it can…

I actually would prefer to lose America Carrier instead of British Carrier…so I will edit it and switch the damage instead.  ( In this case it would be 1 additional Britain fighter forced land in United Kingdom.)

I meant to say to edit as you saw fit. I was too stunned to think properly. I was kicking myself for not buying a Sub last turn instead of one of those Tanks. I originally planned to, then changed my mind.
Good job.

I took the Carrier, but was going to edit it back if you got one hit, but you got one hit too.
I had to take it, hope you see that.
If I had not, would have chosen to lose my Bomber and keep both Subs. Then attacked again and  even if your Carrier had hit me, you would have lost the Transport if I hit once. The Fighters could no longer hit my Subs and would have to fly around.
Hope that is ok.

[innohub]

That’s fine.  Thanks for consideration.

Tough fight and seems my Africa is in great danger…let me think

Please notice that I made an incorrect move in American turn by moving a fighter away so I did some edit to relocate the fighter back at Russia (instead of putting it in Karelia).
Sorry for the late change.

I attacked Moscow, as I could feel the Western Allies were going to leave me no more oportunities. Having failed, I am now wide open to your counterattacks.
Don’t know where it went wrong, but I have not been confident of victory for a long time.
Tomorrow morning is the last time I can post in a week, as I am away.
Hope you enjoy your weekend.

[innohub]

Hey will look at this later as I need to accompany a guest today.

Might be it’s different perspective.  To me I see you have higher chance of victory - your combined force posts great threat to Russia, you have higher income, and Africa is falling…

Now the setback of Germany attack might give me a window of strike back…will see.

Cheers,
