A very nice German turn… your saving grace was SZ106… my subs lost completely.

On land I’m up two infantry.

[Cow]

On the whole you are up 3 fighters, by average attackers left with scramble.

106 is okay. -12 for you which is normally -15 for me, but I am going to have to lose one of those transports to dump men on london.

So if you really want to get technical about it… 1 fighter and 2 inf… but honestly I would rather you have sunk 106 and the 3 fighters dead.

That is more important for Russia. Considering I wanted to do some pacific play with Russia. Those fighters are more important. It is why I scrambled. I wanted average or victory.

This just makes me suicidal. You will probably win this game, but I am going to have fun going nuts.

[Cow]

That is why bringing the battleship up top instead of sz 110 is such a risky move on your part. Those fighters generally get to fire twice so it is a blow for blow situation most of the time. Considering Germany air threatens multiple locations where as UK air threatens one… it opens up strategies for the allies to do non standard play.

[Stalingradski]

I normally strafe 111… but after 110, I decided to make taranto a tougher sell. Plus, all that’s left against the BB is a destroyer and bomber, which isn’t in the bag… all in all, going the distance against your scramble limits UK, makes Egypt tougher to hold, etc.

Your risk was the right risk to take - German air is the key to the Europe map.

And I’m also an aggressive Axis player  :evil:

[Stalingradski]

And by the way - yes - if I had to choose between the UK boats and the UK air, I’d choose air every single time. I absolutely got some dice on my side.

I didn’t mind the two extra infantry on the front. either… sometimes that’s all it takes, when the battles are razor thin.

[Cow]

I am still doing taranto. Post your japan lol.
