@simon33 said in L25 French Rebalance FlyingBadger (Axis) vs Simon33 (Allies+0) #1:

That’s a bit of a b’stard.

Yeah, sorry, that’s a hard hit on the Royal Navy.

Haven’t seen this attack against a Gibraltar stack too often, I think only once when I didn’t kill some subs which sunk the sz91 cruiser. Guess the bombers bought G1 make it more viable.

Wonder if I should have put a plane on Algeria to make the Italian attack less viable?

I think the bomber purchase makes it harder for UK to cover all the possibilities.

It’s hard to ignore the strategic bombing threat to the UK, so there’s a need to have some fighters there.

A fighter in Algeria would have meant Italy would need to more fully commit to that attack and not attack the French ships - which would then be available to reinforce the Gibraltar fleet and maybe discourage a German attack.

The troops landing in Southern France could have reinforced Algeria instead, but then the French ships would go neutral.

It’s tricky, especially with the sucessful U-boat attack on the Canadian ships, the UK is stretched thin. Not sure what a better alternative is to stacking Gibraltar though, attacking the main Italian fleet is dicey, and retreating to the UK and Red Sea gives Italy a lot of offensive options.

The attack isn’t without downsides for Germany though, it risks losing a lot of planes and some of those remaining are out of position for G3 moves into Russia.
