Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Chinese regular : 0.33
Americans regular : 1.00
Italians regular : -0.50
Japanese regular : -1.50
Germans regular : 0.33
British regular : 0.33
Haven’t seen this attack against a Gibraltar stack too often, I think only once when I didn’t kill some subs which sunk the sz91 cruiser. Guess the bombers bought G1 make it more viable.
Wonder if I should have put a plane on Algeria to make the Italian attack less viable?
I think the bomber purchase makes it harder for UK to cover all the possibilities.
It’s hard to ignore the strategic bombing threat to the UK, so there’s a need to have some fighters there.
A fighter in Algeria would have meant Italy would need to more fully commit to that attack and not attack the French ships - which would then be available to reinforce the Gibraltar fleet and maybe discourage a German attack.
The troops landing in Southern France could have reinforced Algeria instead, but then the French ships would go neutral.
It’s tricky, especially with the sucessful U-boat attack on the Canadian ships, the UK is stretched thin. Not sure what a better alternative is to stacking Gibraltar though, attacking the main Italian fleet is dicey, and retreating to the UK and Red Sea gives Italy a lot of offensive options.
The attack isn’t without downsides for Germany though, it risks losing a lot of planes and some of those remaining are out of position for G3 moves into Russia.

I don’t know how many players play games in real-time. I believe most players here do either Play by Forum or Play by Email. I don’t think players hang out in a lobby looking for games either. If people want to play in real-time, they would probably arrange a time to meet with another player.
Some do but more on weekends, as you might expect. Most online players like revised for some reason.
