Europe 1940 v2 FMerwinrommel v Colt 45

[FMErwinRommel]

Ger has to attack Rus this turn, those rampaging Rus tanks are getting NOs that I would never have expected.  My strategic bombing against Rus took a hit and rolled low, but your single UK bomber rolled the max.  Normandy was the likely invasion, since S. Fra could have been attacked from N. Italy and Hol from W. Ger.  There were so many possible targets.  But Ger is much easier to defend than in the original A&A where Fra was a single territory.

Hmm i cant remember if i checked the battle calc. Does ger have a chance vs moscow?

[FMErwinRommel]

Slight advantage if all W. Ger bombers join in attack, which means I can’t counterattack D-Day fleet or landing.  Counterattack may not have succeeded anyway.

[Colt45554]

Well now im nervous  :-o

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks Rus for generating all that cash that Ger can take.  I will be willing to sacrifice my Luftwaffe to save 1 armor to take Moscow.  Otherwise, Rus can build another 10 units.

[Colt45554]

Didnt even cross my mind to include west germ bombs  :-(. Might be a game-changer

[FMErwinRommel]

Ger 148 power vs Rus 145
     69 units vs 74
TUV 370 vs 253
Should Ita tanks stay in place to protect Ger bombers who can only retreat to Smol?  But even if Ger takes Moscow, Rus troops surrounding it can retake.

[FMErwinRommel]

Ger bombers bring it to 61%, I have no choice.  Italians can try to defend Paris.

[FMErwinRommel]

Happy New Year

[Colt45554]

Happy New Year!

[FMErwinRommel]

It’s taking me forever to test out every possible attack and defense between Ger and Ita and Rus and between Ger Ita and Amer/Brit.  With my position so precarious, I can’t just guess, I have to do battle calc.

[Colt45554]

I understand haha. No rush

OOL please, one round at a time

[Colt45554]

best defense, keep 1 AAA until fewer than 10 moscow inf then take AAA and defeault to best defense. once infantry gone, take all artillery before mech.

[FMErwinRommel]

I forgot to use the 5 bombers in the battle.  Since we already discussed it, I ask that you allow me to include them.

[Colt45554]
