G40 BM2 Rommel X vs Colt L "Third times a charm"

[FMErwinRommel]

Norway is the soft spot.  Without tts, I can’t reinforce it directly and it will take several turns for mobile units to move thru Lenin or be built in Lenin.  On the other hand, damaged carriers in the fjords, don’t have a friendly land terr for fighters to land or naval base at hand to repair, as in the Eng Chan.

Forgot to move tt in sz36>sz6 (Jpn) as a NCM.  Please edit on your turn.  Thanks

[FMErwinRommel]

Good dice and bad dice.  The AA dice gods favored me again with no hits and max damage.  I could have strat bombed previously, but would of had to move carrier task force to allow fighters to escort against your fighters.  Thanks for moving them away.  This was the only way for Jpn to stop the India/China buildup.  Now it will take several turns for India to repair the damage with it’s low income level.  So my bombers will be free to attack othrt targets.  The minimalist attack on the Chinese provinces didn’t go well.  I had 95% chance of killing the lone defender with an inf and fighter.  But, in two adjacent provinces, both attackers missed and the defender hit.  So I had to place extra garrisons with air support, since China has been successful with the same strategy.  All in all, Jpn is in much better shape than Ger.

I can’t complain after those solid Chinese rolls but these max bombing raids are hurting. I hope Carolines goes well. I suppose you could attack the fleet but that leaves Asia without air and China and India will not stand still. I’m surprised you thought it worth it to DoW USSR. Now I will get +2 for Persia and maybe Archangel later and you will have to garrison SZ 5 or activate Mongolia.

Scramble?

[Colt45554]

@FMErwinRommel:

Good dice and bad dice.  The AA dice gods favored me again with no hits and max damage.  I could have strat bombed previously, but would of had to move carrier task force to allow fighters to escort against your fighters.  Thanks for moving them away.

I will happily trade a round or two of bombing for a powerful grip on Yunnan. I haven’t checked, but I don’t think you can safely attack SZ 33 and Yunnan in same round.

[FMErwinRommel]

no scramble.  I didn’t know what to do with the fleet by Malay.  It’s too far from the U.S. presence, but could be useful near India.

[FMErwinRommel]

wait, I only looked at caroline,  let me think about scrambling sz112

[FMErwinRommel]

no scramble in sz112.  The Luftwaffe in Rus can’t reach to counterattack on my turn.  But they are still needed in Rus this coming turn anyway.

2/3 AAA hits in Caro. That stung  :-P

[FMErwinRommel]

The AA has been good to me the past few turns.  I’ve been busy following the history of your allied moves and thinking about Jpn retaking the Carolines.  I left the Jpn fighter there to stop any minor/unsupported invasion.  The Carolines could be a major fleet battle and thus decisive.  ANZ could reinforce the U.S. fleet and then Jpn would have to up the ante, or pass.  Yun is unique because of the China rules.  FIC is off limits and a Chinese move east/NE without India, would open up an opportunity for Jpn to attack.  Brits from Mideast finally coming to the defense of India and taking pressure off of Italy.

The battle in Rostov went my way and now Ger can blitz into the Cau and/or Stalingrad.  It’s nice not having Italy pressured.  Even tho it has no tt’s, it built fighters for flex instead of defensive land units.  I’m going to work or run outside.  I’ll check back in periodically if you need battle orders for ANZ vs Jpn.  I won’t take Ger turn for a while, lots of tough decisions.
