I would have loved to see just 4 hits in Yugo but I guess I should be happy about a new record in France. Losing just 1 ground units is certainly kind of rare I guess^^

It was certainly a good start for the Axis.
I think it is worth the risk as the odds are slightly favorable for the Axis and they still can retreat if it does not go their way.
If you want to prevent that attack either put another Russian fighter there or at least put a Chinese fighter instead of inf maybe.
However, this attack could have gone wrong, then we would probably discuss how good the decision was to exactly that forces to Yunnan.

The fact that I could decide to take a 3rd air down to deny arty for the Chinese was fortunate. I believe the right thing to do given the choices I had.

I ran it 30k times and had it on 51/6/43 -7 average

I guess you can’t just give a 40 bid and expect to easily get a dominant Axis position without taking any risks. If it would be that easy, every player was just stupid this season to take the Allies for any amount below 35^^

Ok, thanks for the update.
