  • OK, they could have landed on Malta, but if I didn’t see Vichy I probably would have landed Algeria and lost them. This is where not playing much lately can burn me

    Round 2 in SZ93 really hurt, but was fortunately evened out by the miss in SZ 95 and last round miss in SZ93. Otherwise pretty bad dice for Germany that round overall.


  • Agree. I needed that pretty bad. Heavy losses in Normandy, blunts good Paris attack.
    Russians have some time to build up. Egypt is doomed and I don’t know what to do about it. I might feel like a cornered animal and attack, don’t know yet.
    You’re wise to move AA into Normandy, I would probably have tried it.

  • 2023 '22

    @gamerman01 Yes, interesting to see your strategy around Egypt. You don’t have that much forces in close proximity that could assist at the moment.


  • It’s a problem. Had to suck everything close to London and super lucky to take down 5 planes. Will have to assess later, but as tempting as it is to flop onto the 3 units, might have to take a shot at stack with 3 German air. Don’t know yet


  • I think your G1 and losing no planes, buying ships makes it hard to keep much in Egypt. I’m just glad you can’t get a German ground unit there too fast. Hoping to regroup and fight for Egypt later. Not going to risk Alexandria - Italians will just swoop in anyway. Take the safe way to squash 3 to the South

    Hmm, yeah! Unusual start for me with the Italians.


  • Building the airbase that turn might have been a poor choice. A little squeamish about inviting the combo attack, it’s just always hard to allow a situation where the dice could crush you.

  • 2023 '22

    @gamerman01 Hmm, yeah but normally that AB pays off sooner or later, not counting you could’ve spent those 15IPC differently right now of course.


  • Right, that’s why I bought it, but wondering if I actually wanted the Italians to attack it and the Germans to airstrike it. Doesn’t matter now!


  • OK… I think almost all of FRANZAC’s units are already committed, so this should be easy. No rush for G3, but whatever. Might be able to finish an R3 sooner than I think.
