Interesting side note about the Enterprise, during the Battle of Santa Cruz, the radar tower was badly damaged, so an engineer went up there to repair and restore juice to it. They forgot to cut the power to the tower while he was up there working, when he repaired the tower and bridged the power to the tower it started spinning while he was hanging up there.  With enemy Vals and Zeros dropping bombs on the Enterprise, he spun up there for a good 20 minutes unaware by the captain.  When they finally  realized they had a man on the tower they cut the juice and got him down.  Talk about a horrifying experience!

Have not logged on in years and when I do out of curiosity the next game due is a zombie game…… I think I’ll wait for War Room.

Re-reading the “Liberation Trilogy”.  Army at Dawn, Day of Battle, and The Guns at Last Light, Rick Atkinson.  My favorite narrative.

It all depends if you feel the Cairo VC counts towards the cities you need for victory in your plan. I personally would go straight after Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw. Germany will need Italy’s help to stay afloat after that first round snafu. Only need 2 of the three Russian Vc’s, London, Wash, and Ottawa are locks given the current situation.

I’m not so certain myself if Cairo is even necessary at the moment. Germany’s huge blunder from the first round should have Russia thinking offensively as soon as they get the green light. Russia should take Warsaw, western allies converge on Paris. Joint strike on Berlin should be game over. Paris, Berlin, and Warsaw win the game. Italy will have to help Germany stay in the game since they took the cap money from France.

Did Germany attack Russia G1?

96 and 97 are many times the standard attack and many people leave 95. A lot of the abbreviation are listed on another thread, just search abbreviations it should come up with a thread.

Haven’t had my global board out in awhile so I could not remember if N Italy boarded Paris or not, so you’re right, scratch the allied defense in Paris. Since it seems Italy will be grabbing the money from France it’s now essential to hit SZ 97. Don’t waste time with Norway factory just prep and land in France, that’s what I would do IMHO. Create a battle of attrition and bring attention there, Russia is lost for Germany.

If Paris is still not taken one option is to reinforce it with all available allied air that can reach to defend against Italy. Can’t think at the top of my head what can reach from northern Italy, but if held France can purchase and place 5 inf/1 art on their turn.
