  • Yes, I wanted you to have many options… let’s see what you did…


  • I almost forgot all about Vichy which would have been really bad

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 You mean it would’ve left your UK ships much more exposed?


  • That AND 2 aircraft from 95 had to land on French soil and would be lost without a fight! ALSO, could not take Holland preventing German options for planes :)
    Burned 2 transports as you know, but thought it would hamper a little bit to have extra infantry and AA in there to deal with.


  • OK, they could have landed on Malta, but if I didn’t see Vichy I probably would have landed Algeria and lost them. This is where not playing much lately can burn me


  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Haha all fair points!

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01

    4 hits in SZ93. Casualties?

  • What is wrong with my notifications? I was just coming here to say take your time and you’ve been waiting for a casualty choice. Sorry, will get it to you now.


  • Damage carrier, lose destroyer and 2 fighters

    Time to finally hit a German plane??

    Round 2 in SZ93 really hurt, but was fortunately evened out by the miss in SZ 95 and last round miss in SZ93. Otherwise pretty bad dice for Germany that round overall.


  • Agree. I needed that pretty bad. Heavy losses in Normandy, blunts good Paris attack.
    Russians have some time to build up. Egypt is doomed and I don’t know what to do about it. I might feel like a cornered animal and attack, don’t know yet.
    You’re wise to move AA into Normandy, I would probably have tried it.

  • '23 '22

    @gamerman01 Yes, interesting to see your strategy around Egypt. You don’t have that much forces in close proximity that could assist at the moment.


  • It’s a problem. Had to suck everything close to London and super lucky to take down 5 planes. Will have to assess later, but as tempting as it is to flop onto the 3 units, might have to take a shot at stack with 3 German air. Don’t know yet


  • I think your G1 and losing no planes, buying ships makes it hard to keep much in Egypt. I’m just glad you can’t get a German ground unit there too fast. Hoping to regroup and fight for Egypt later. Not going to risk Alexandria - Italians will just swoop in anyway. Take the safe way to squash 3 to the South
