You did right for the scramble in the pacific side! Yes your dice were a bit unlucky this time. In theory you’ll have to compensate in future  :wink:
I did a little edit for a dd I forget to move in n.c. move for USA.

What about scramble orders in Taranto?

[teslas]

Oof, because I didn’t threaten Sea Lion, you were able to send more planes to the med. I think with Japan’s non-optimal start, and the fact that you’re about to wipe out all of my North Africans…

Fuck it, yes, full scramble. It’s damn near 50/50 odds, and the Axis need a break. If the Axis win, and save the Italian transport, that’s pretty big news. If the Allies win, then the game swings greatly into the Allies’ favor with the loss of the Italian air force and another German plane.

May the luckiest man win.

This time was a really unlucky turn for me!  :-o. I think this will balance your defeat in the chinese territory, and it’s probably more than you expected

[teslas]

And jesus christ, yes, that Taranto fight went swimmingly for the Axis, and I got to keep my German subs off of Scotland. Thank you fickle dice goddesses.

But it wasn’t all one-sided. The Tobruk fight had the Axis score zero hits on the first round.

I’m not sure if I’d rather lose the German tac bomber or the Italian cruiser. I think because I’m so unsure, I’m going to just trust what you picked for me, and lose the German tac.

[teslas]

Jesus, hard turn for Italy. Hopefully I can get more time for it today.

Option 1: Go kill everything on Malta. ~65% chance
Upon success: 3 UK planes are dead.
Failure: Waste of turn and units.
Additional drawback: Italian navy susceptible to being hit by French, American, and UK suicides.

Option 2: Go take Gibraltar from you. ~63% chance
Upon success: Germany can kill the fleet in 91 on its turn, and the Axis own Gibraltar forever, and you’ve even put an air base there for us.
Upon failure: Total loss of Italian navy.

Option 3: Go take Syria. 100% chance
Positive: 7 units in Iraq next round.
Drawback: There’s enough UK shit to make that pretty far over-extended.

Do you have any advice for me, or is there something I missed?

[Caesar1]

I just followed the standard loss option Triple A gave me.

I think you can add Greece, Tobruk, Egypt and Trans-Jordan in your list. But I’ll say you what I would have done if I were you after your turn.

[teslas]

You can tell me before, if you want :p

I’ll try to get to it tonight when I’m back home. Not enough time to do it during lunch today.

[teslas]

@Caesar1:

I just followed the standard loss option Triple A gave me.

I think you can add Greece, Tobruk, Egypt and Trans-Jordan in your list. But I’ll say you what I would have done if I were you after your turn.

Egypt is unwise. I can only land 4 units. Your defenders will likely kill at least one of them, for three units. On Britain’s next turn, you have a transport bringing in two inf, a mech, and a tank in range to hit them, along with the Maltese planes and a cruiser bombard for good measure. I’ll have effectively wasted a turn of effort. If I bring up my sub-saharan africans for another hit on the next round, I won’t be able to reload my transports the same turn, so attempting to retake it is almost assuredly going to fail. I don’t think Egypt is a good plan. I don’t think you think Egypt is a good plan for the Axis, either.

Trans-Jordan is awful. I would be in range of a direct counter-hit on my 4 landing units by basically the same shit that could hit me in Egypt. Turn wasted.

Tobruk is possible, but carries the exact same risks as hitting Malta does, except much worse because the Maltese planes are alive to obliterate the Italian navy. This is literal suicide.

Taking Greece now is a steady play, but one that doesn’t actually advance the overall goal much. And what do I do after? After this turn everything you have strong is even stronger. The goal as Italy is to attempt to fuck up Britain if it can, and if it can’t, to turtle up. Greece would be what I did if I was forced to turtle, or if I was worried about the UK landing troops there soon, but here, I’m not, so I think it’s non-optimal. The normal option after Greece is for an easy hit on Egypt, but Egypt isn’t possible next round because of all of the reasons it’s not a good idea this round.

So no, I wouldn’t add those things you said to my list as viable options. I’d almost think you’re trying to sabotage me, sir! I’m looking forward to hearing what you’d do after I make my move, which is starting now, with dinner potentially interrupting it.
