Well that sucks.
And to think I originally laid it out to take Jordan, but changed to Syria last minute for that free inf. Wasn’t thinking about the Russian air.

[mikawagunichi]

@mainah First time I’ve ever done the strategy of buying air with Russia early with intentions of attacking the Italians. Was gonna fly them to Malta before but didn’t have enough there to protect the planes.

It’s seemed to have worked well for you. And it’s not something one normally keeps an eye out for.

@mainah First time I’ve ever done the strategy of buying air with Russia early with intentions of attacking the Italians. Was gonna fly them to Malta before but didn’t have enough there to protect the planes.

It’s seemed to have worked well for you. And it’s not something one normally keeps an eye out for.

By my rough calculations, the TUV swing was about even. If this was BM4, and the other positions were the same, I would say the strategic position has improved slightly for the Axis. But this is P2V, and so I am unsure if that’s the same here. Your thoughts?

Jumped the gun on the statement - the battle score will obviously affect the final TUV swing. The comment is based on actual results from your last battle + average results of the upcoming battle.

@mainah Yeah it’s a difficult question to answer. A basic TUV comparison for the battles is a good starting point, but I try to think further down the road regarding how the lost units will affect the ability to generate income down the road etc. IME, one the Italians lose their fleet, they usually don’t make enough money to build a new one large enough to withstand any significant Allied attack. But it will be interesting either way.

And no scramble.

@mikawagunichi
In BM4, Russia makes a lot less money, and sees its income steady reducing fairly rapidly. In that version, trading 7 Russian planes, early, for the Italian fleet with a Persian factory that is threatened and a 30ipc Italy would, in my estimation, be a slight net negative in the overall allied position.

But P2V is a very different game. I have no reference to look at to have an informed opinion on the overall strategic situation in this game.

As you say, we will find out as it plays out.
