Combat Hit Differential Summary :
-
No dice rolled. This is the suggested turn.

@AndrewAAGamer I see your point. The fleet is done anyway and this gives it another turn perhaps or allows it to cause more attrition.
But if I’m the allies this turn, I probably would just stack 97 and take Greece (assuming both those can be held but it looks on the face of it that they could). I would wait to wipe out the Italian fleet for when I have my air and navy combined in 97 since they can’t go anywhere and can’t do any damage.
One thing to consider is that if the Germans hold Yugoslavia (or S France), you might have had more opportunities to save that fleet. Its often not worth it, but those become routes to get german units in the Med or to allow the Germans to build airbases to support the Italian fleet.
-
the anzac/french turn looks good to me.

A’ight. Finalized.

Interestingly enough, you are. :)

I apologize for the delay. Things have been out of control busy-wise. I am going on vacation and will not be back for a week. I am unsure of my internet possibilities however if I can take my Turn while I am gone I will otherwise it will be a bit.
-
Ah, the full play-by-forum experience. I’m impressed.
(No, seriously, I’m impressed. This has been a great game.)

I haven’t followed this game much this summer. It looks like the Allies are in good position with Moscow held firmly and the Middle East is relatively strong. Once the Italian fleet is demolished this turn, convoy raids in the Med should dramatically tilt the game economically. With a Russian income of 27 PU/turn, Germany cannot make much progress for the foreseeable future. Japan’s unusual China gambit did not pay dividends as the air force is now bogged down trying to defend the coast.
Does anyone else have the same analysis.
-
Germany 7: Is my capital safe? Yes, there is no way for the Allies to attack Berlin this Turn.
With the Med starting to collapse I need more Luftwaffe to threaten the Allied Fleet. Allied money spent on defending their fleet means money not going into the Med. A large Luftwaffe will also help me defend the Atlantic Wall and hopefully get Norway back eventually.

Sorry for the long delay in playing. Things have been really crazy for me the past two months and they are finally starting to settle down. Should be able to keep up a more normal pace going forward.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
-
Want to take both Archangel and Stalingrad. Thinking of adding one more art to the latter.
-
Somehow I think it’s rather obvious moves. Of course Italy is coming with 8 mech from behind, so will still have a strong can-opening-capability, but taking out 2 tank, 2 fig for them should be a good thing anyway.

@trulpen I agree that you can’t pass up Volgograd, but I think you should aim for more certain odds. I dislike trading so many Russian units for Italian rather than German, but if you are able to stack samara after you can counter the German counterattack.
Also, instead of two inf, I might buy one tank, just so that I have a unit with blitzing capability.
-
Nice with a swift reply. Wasn’t expecting it. :)
There will be room for buying a tank next turn. Now I still wanted to maximize the defensive properties of the purchase.
It is not evident were those 20 mech are heading; towards Moscow or Norway or both. Now Moscow can however be heavily supported by allied air if need be.
-
I also don’t like going in heavy on Stalingrad, but I considered it better than failing. Both denying Germany the production and taking out italians are prime objectives.
Now Russia is on a crazy 36 income.
With things getting rather hot in Europe, that’s pretty good.
-
I did a quick check on odds on Moscow on the turn after next. You will need 10-12 allied air in range to keep his odds below 50% if he decides to really go for it.
