Scrambles?
I put handicap to Germany (1 inf to Holland) and despite your advice against it, to Italy again (1 destroyer into Adriatic).

I gotta say, this is one heckuva Italian army going East. Loss of Italian fighter I1 was massive.

And the advantage of Greek Yugo and Greece is a lot of convoy protection.

@gamerman01 Makes sense. 4 subs will on average convoy away 8 IPCs-6 to take out 12 if you have Yugo + Greece.

OK, figured it out between putting in tater tots and then shrimp. The other foot will fall on G3. I can’t let the 2 transports and carrier go, simple as that.

Italy normally has 8 and 4 subs would usually stop them all but not always.
Germany’s 4 would always be lostSo 4 subs takes away all 12 every turn usually
But with all 12 Italy, 4 subs take 8, and even 6 subs can’t surely take it all away, just more than 1/2 the time.
Other considerations, you mentioned German ability to build facilities on Greece.
Italy taking Greece, Germans don’t have to go down there and take it, they can get in Russia faster
But Yugo to Italy normally means some Yugo guys get to fire twice. -
I didn’t explain it very well, but all Italy definitely means more money to the Axis every turn, and/or more Allied ships to stop it. It’s just painful to see some subs getting convoy damage 2X every round.

Is there a post I missed with NCM or are you still working on that?

It’s down there a couple posts -

@gamerman01 Found it thanks!
