Please review your losses in Moscow and feel free to amend.

They are perfect, thanks, just enough AAA if there is a little attack on Moscow next turn :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:.

Vive la France!! Paris has been liberated from under the facist jackboot!

I forgot to copy the game history, sorry.

Mussolini was not amused by the French Resistance! He was kind enough to leave two AAAs and hopes that was according to your will.

What a disaster. My test run went just perfect. And then, I took Moscow with only two tanks left. And Paris could not be taken. I should have retreated and save these valuable fighters! It is a shame when Germany takes Moscow and at the same time needs to think of defending Berlin…

I will need to digest that by having a few coffees and will do Japan’s turn, shortly.

Yes, that is a difficult result for Germany in Moscow, an average result would probably have left enough to push through the Middle East and into Egypt. Those bigger battles do have a greater variance, but it is a shame when all that effort building up to that attack gets wiped out by MARTI! He is a cruel master, but we must worship him anyway.

I wasn’t looking forward to this round after I made such a mess of things…

I was a round slow in getting UK mechanised forces into Moscow, and had used up too many fighters intercepting Japanese bombers when they were needed in Moscow.

I had planned my turn around attacking the IJN at the Philippines (a 50/50 battle), then final testing revealed that the Japanese would have Kamikaze. So back to the drawing board, a super stack of US, UK and ANZAC ships off Queensland! Only slight problem was when I came to move the UK navy they couldn’t make it as the harbor had been bombed!

I had been carefully calculating what forces I would need in the Channel, Paris and Normandy to defend against Italian and German attacks, however I also thought I would be very clever and strafe attack the Italians in South France. The attack was a disaster and I had forgotten to send the mechanised infantry through Paris so couldn’t retreat the remaining land units to there!..

I didn’t look at the game history and was just wondering why there were two empty British transports in SZ93… Germany’s dice were not bad at all with a 5 hit differential, but unfortunately Russia’s defense was outstanding with a proud 13. I guess that was the highest I have ever seen :-)

So finally both Europe and Asia stay exciting. I can play a bit more frequent, today, and tomorrow.

[Martin]

I am curious to see what the British in Kazakhstan will do: Try to re-take India, try to free Moscow, or rampage a bit in China :-)

[FlyingBadger]

@martin Sorry for the delay, had a quick look earlier but it was going to need some thought into what to do and had a busy Easter Sunday with family stuff.

Scramble to SZ97? triplea_38113_12us-combat.tsvg

[Martin]

No worries. I can’t complain, having done a break myself, not for hours but for days :-)

Thank you, no scrambling. My mistake: With Italy, I was just considering the British subs, so the US-attack in SZ97 is catching me by surprise…

I only realised at the last minute, forgot that there was an airbase in Normandy, even though it was me who built it…

The pilots of the USN have had their cup of Joe and are on the mark. Casualties?

[Martin]

Please let two fighters survive.

[Martin]

During the entire battle that is. The cup of Joe is now empty.
