ugh, that 99 battle changes things. had a 97% chance of winning :'(

[FMErwinRommel]

Same as or worse than ITA failed 2 fi on cruiser by Malta and I was spared 3 transports.  UK has been able to spend all its money in Africa and now Middle East with no worries for homeland.  Ignoring most bomb damage. 
As previously posted, please consider letting me NCM all Ger units in Baltic States>E. Pol.

[Colt45554]

Didnt see that but yeah go for it

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks.  Brit has the luxury of not building units in homeland for defense or to support USA.  RUS is doing fine without help from Allies, which is unusual.  The IC in Persia is interesting.  Another stroke of luck for Axis was the Italian suicide attack against the S. Afr 3 fighters, taking them down with them in flames of glory.  +17 points and loss of mobility for UK.

[FMErwinRommel]

I took a long time last Ger move to consider all possible attacks from US by Gib.  Then realized that US and UK air couldn’t hit from there against Italy or W. Ger.  So I shouldn’t have left the ITA dd exposed to block the way.  Had intended to have GER build dd in S Fra but realized it wasn’t needed.  UK has a massive multi-national force in Egypt.

[FMErwinRommel]

ITA’s moves depends on GER moves so I am slowly deciding.

[Colt45554]

I’m not all that confident in my victory yet but my first match of Europe has been a blast! Maybe that IC in Persia was a bit hasty- a much safer move in Global. I think Round 6 will tip the balance one way or the other big league

[FMErwinRommel]

Yes this game has been exciting.  I think I will take out Rus.  US forces not strong enough yet to be decisive.  Picking up the grandkids and won’t get a chance to take my turn until late tonight at earliest.

[Colt45554]

I wont be able to make decisions till morning

I never thought the ITA trans were in danger or else I would have kept the cruiser with them.  I’ve never seen or considered anyone land in Cyprus.
