1942.2 total vic. w/ int: Zombie69 (Axis) vs Commando Brado (Allies + 12)

@Zombie69:

Normally I buy 11 INF and 2 ART with Germany round 1, but considering all the stuff you brought to Ukraine plus all the losses you took in West Russia, I decided it was time to go on the offensive and buy 3 bombers!

I’m sure your strategy will seal my doom very soon!  :evil:

I added a SBR to Caucasus during the Russian turn, instead of a FTR. I’ll fix on the Brit turn.

Decided to make a non-combat change during the Placement phase, using Edit Mode.

Hmm, let me think about it. Shouldn’t change the Japanese turn.

I’ll move the Brit DD to SZ34.

I will submerge.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. If I had the Sub fight, I probably would have got my butt kicked. Can’t 2nd quess the best decision. By fighting, according to the odds calculator, it only increased your losses by a few IPC’s. Wasn’t worth it. Hindsight is 20/20.
