For a sec I was going to ask scramble, but since that lower your odds of saving India from ~8% down to 0% I suppose I’ll proceed and if you really wanted to scramble we can reroll those two battles in the forum.  :evil:

@Koala:

I see…

Anyway, Steiner’s assault will bring it all under control. :roll:

My ww2 lore is a little rusty. Who’s Steiner?

@Koala:

Oh that is bad, really bad.

I didn’t even calculated india because “What could possibly happen with only one transport range…” :D

Air units and can opener can turn seemingly impenetrable positions into slaughters in this game. Can opening and suiciding a single unit into a large fleet to create “landing spots” for your kamikaze pilots is the source of my biggest “Oh shit you can do that!” moment in A&A. But plenty of times I’ve just overlooked exactly how much air power can reach a spot.

Seems like all your ‘oh shit’ moments in this game  originated in Bri2, if you want we could rewind to Chi2. But I’ll proceed with Italy3 incase you prefer the very hard challenge of monster Japan.  :wink:

I don’t remember these forums being censored but then it has been quite a few years. Perhaps it’s an option you can turn on or off? Anyway the four letter word I was going for was the one easily associated with ‘waste’ but I figure a lot of four letter words could fit the bill.  :-)

@Koala:

It’s the guy that should have turned the tides in the battle of Berlin and initiate the german counterattack against the russians. One of Hitlers last desperate straws to catch right before everything ended. (among other things famous because of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YTePIi4arg)

Seems as I’ve never watched a non-parody version of this film clip.  :-)

@Koala:

For me the fun isn’t over, even when the “tipping point” is reached not in my favour.

I’m with you there.

And if I understood you right, there is always the rematch. Everything 0:0 again  :wink:

Whatever the outcome of this game I’ll happily play again.  :-)

Hmm seems like the Russian air force are without proper infantry support and within the strike range of the German panzers.  :evil:

Since Anzac’s ncm movement had no effect on Germany (unlike their attack  :cry:) perhaps you want to do some Anzac ncm editing during Russia4?
Unless you ment to leave a tempting “decoy” to distract Japan.  :-)
