Good strategy for the Germans. If only you had taken Egypt it would have been an epic turn, in my book. As I just wrote in the “How to win as Axis” I think one of the key difference is that we were playing by the wrong rules, with 2-hit AC and BB repairs at START of your turn. Big diff in the med + in the PAC.

Anyhoo.

[JEB]

Yes, that was highly annoying that I didn’t manage to take egypt… (0/5! hits). You can actually manage to keep your medfleet alive for several turns if you play carefully, or at least have the allies pay costly for destroying it. In this scenario that’s was not the case obviously.
Now the game will take a different turn. The initial battles for the germans have a huge impact on how the game is continued… Note that I consider this opening even a bit conservative for the germans. You can be even more aggressive and succeed.

I am not aware of other rules than in this game. When you say 2-hit AC, you mean that both fighters are defending? I thought that was the norm.

[JEB]

I took the liberty to submerge your british and US sub. The odds weren’t exactly in their favor!

[JEB]

Btw, I see what you meant with 2-hit AC. The defending hit point :) What did you use to play with?

[atease]

The 2 hit AC is now the norm in the newer games like Global 1940 etc.
Easy to confuse rules when you’re playing 3 versions of A&A!
