Sure, if you’re lucky enough to pull off some of the risky battles. Some of them goes wrong and the whole thing can backfire early. Not a risk I like to take for my games. Especially not in a playtest for strategy.
Anyway, never mind. Note that I forgot to move into Gibraltar, so I corrected that with an edit.
I did have an overwhelming British attack against Italy in Africa that resulted in complete disaster due to poor dice rolling. It took a long time to recover. Still, I am willing to take risks as the Allies since their economic advantage allows them to overcome occasional bad dice rolls.
No problem on Gibraltar. I figured that you were going to do it, with subsequent reinforcement from German planes.
Yeah, you’re right about that.
I have seen my share of major dicing as well, btw. Imagine failing in France GE1… I can laugh about it now, but not at that time. Luckily it is only 1 turn in, so easy to start over.
Somehow I forgot to move into Gib, yes. I tend to plan, then move and do battle, and see that I forgot that 1 move that didn’t need combat. Happen quite a bit in TripleA with me. True that German planes. That’s the plan.
The save contains the other italian edit I Pm’ed you about: 2FTR land in Libya instead. That should protect Italy from a smartass french rolling a ‘1’ before Uncle Adolf can fly in :P.
No problem, I will use that save when I do my french turn.

Tough decisions for Japan this turn. Also the last for the weekend. Njoy the weekend!
I think I had no other options but to airblitz the Chinese. One of the reasons I am not very fond of a J1. With a JF from the USA, China and UK can be a bit bolder as Japan must attend to the American fleet.

The Pacific fleet is near full strength. I will have to decide if I need another round of spending there before switching over to the Atlantic. You will start having some tough decisions as Germany next round. It will be quite important to get your air force into the desired positions for G4 actions.
