[teslas]

I’ll do my damndest. I think I have slightly better than 50/50 odds, even with the Japanease suicide.

But this is a dice game afterall!

You also have the option of playing the “long” game. Trying to break south into the massive amounts of money that are Volgograd/Caucasus/Middle East.

But with your last buy, it seems you’re pretty dead set on trying this :p

[teslas]

Note:

On the Japanese suicide, I should kill all 17 dudes in one round. Please take infantry losses, not AA losses, for this fight.

[Private-Panic]

J should have achieved 4 R losses, which would have given G better than 50%, but only managed 2 hits.

I bow to your much greater experience. I guess you mean that G could build its advantage over Moscow over a couple of turns before the attack. The long game sounds like a slow death? Or do you think G could win the game from this position?

[teslas]

I think Germany could still make an effort at winning if it managed to grab the Caucasus/Volgograd and grab the middle east off an on.

With your three minor factories in Russia, a fourth when you get Volgograd, you can easily keep things under control, and try to starve out Russia slowly while you trade blows with the US. This has the added “benefit” of keeping the UK locked into supplying air to Moscow.

It would be a long game.

Need scrambles for your third god damn desteroyer.

1x SS
3x Fighter
1x Tac

5 HP @ 15

vs.

1x DD
potential 3 fighter scrambles

4 HP @ 14

[Private-Panic]

As it is all about needing luck at this stage I will scramble all 3 and regret it afterwards!

[teslas]

Oof. Regret it you shall.

Yeah, now that I look at it again, you pretty much have to try for Moscow next turn. I don’t know what I was saying earlier. There’s just too much allied economy to delay for any reason.

Hit Moscow, take your 10-50% chance or whatever it is, and that will decide if the game is over or not!

I forgot to not include my subs in the non-com to Japan. They are worthless in the Pacific now, so I wanted to send them to the Atlantic. I edited the move in.

Alrighty, let’s see this Moscow crash!

And you shouldn’t have moved your North African Italians away from Tunisia because they were covering Libya. That’s +4 more IPCs for Russia for free.

That went well!

Odds were 22% only, so needed some luck. Did not get it!

I surrender tes! Even if I had taken Moscow I probably had no chance in ay case. Congratulations to the victor!
