Euro 40 2E Colt(Axis +8) vs ERommel

[Colt45554]

I knew France would be ugly after I got a paltry 3 hits first round. Perhaps I should’ve retreated before my expensive troops died and had italy finish it off. That would be interesting.

[FMErwinRommel]

I was available when you weren’t and was busy when you were available.  Bri rolled bad, even if Fra did okay.  You only lost a few tanks.  Your sub>cru succeeded.  I’ve never seen Ger air land in Tobruk.  Ruins my usual plan for Bri to attack T1.

Need OOL in Tobruk  assume best defense, but what about Ger fig? 
Tobruk is a big gamble, but not much other choice.  Can’t sit back and defend Egypt when Ita can add more ground and air.
I wanted the dd and bomber to sink the SZ91 sub, but couldn’t risk Bri 3 figs missing the bb.

[Colt45554]

Give me your first round number of hits, please.

[FMErwinRommel]

Ita takes 3 hits.  Sea battle, Bri lost cru and sank Ita dd

[Colt45554]

Thanks for 96 update. The three inf and I will wait for round 2 for further update.

[FMErwinRommel]

I like your Bri T1 move to vacate Malta garrison to Egypt during NCM, but don’t know if that would have been sufficient with 2 Ita bid units added to the T2 attack on Egypt.

[FMErwinRommel]

I may as well quit now, received 5 hits.  Retreated

Is the quit comment serious or mostly just the gloominess of Br1?

[Colt45554]

I think you did make the most out of the situation, though. Plenty for Italy to do yet.
