    Didn’t put it in the Triple A notes, but the French fighter is necessarily on the UK carrier

    Cancel that - just realized that your loading the German carrier with a fighter, and moving the Italian carrier away relieves a lot of pressure on 92, so my planned move of French fighter to 92 is unnecessary.  I’ll leave it in London

    Agreed.

    Allied focus in Europe is a very different beast than the traditional contain-Japan strategies.

    2 infantry, artillery, tank, 2 destroyers, cruiser, battleship
    All with pure air, 1 fighter lost
    That’s making things difficult

    I’m up 3 German fighters in Middle East battles, but these localized bailouts for Italy have a huge impact. If Iraq had gone the opposite way, Italy would have been crippled already.

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    Up 3 from average
    There was a chance they would have gone as poorly for you as they went well

    Ah, well, it’s part of the game.  Air strikes are high risk/reward, and you got rewarded a couple times.  Always hard to take, but the main thing is to not over-react or lose focus  :-)

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    I need to think about an overall strategy at this point - going through motions and not coordinating the efforts of the allies will lead to a sure loss of potency  :-)
