Well-played. I see where this is going.
-
That was the only way that I could take Egypt and hold off the allies from taking Italy. I was lucky the dice preserved the Italian air force. Wish that Aussies hadn’t taken out 2 Jpn troops when I took Java back. Would have liked to use 3 tt’s of troops instead of just 2, but needed to try to contain the situation in northern China.

I personally have always hated that sub rule. In this case, your sub is better defense than a battleship.
-
Getting Egypt really brought the Axis back into the game. Now for some brilliant moves by Germany…
-
Sorry for the delay. Planning the big battle was easy. But deciding what to build and where and how to balance defending Fra vs reinforcing Italy (allied fleet can move back to Eng Cha) and holding the weakened Lenin front (not likely) lost out to watching the NCAA final last night and working in the yard in 78 F now. The wife decided the yard came first.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 81 units vs 81, attack of 176 vs defense of 160. Had to deplete Lenin of mobile. Used every plane and every ground troop on the eastern front that could reach Bry. This is the only window of opportunity as Rus builds increases and a momentary pause in Allied move on Leningrad.

Please NCM Ger sub from sz114>113.
Epic battle in Bry. I used all units available, not just to make sure that I won, but to have sufficient armor left to deter a counterattack by 15 Rus inf surrounding Bry. What a diff a few turns make. Once U.S. committed itself to Scan by moving to Fin, Ger didn’t need to protect its Capital, so immediately moved 4 inf towards Lenin and also mobile units. They arrived just in time to turn back the Amer from Lenin. But Ger can’t hold Lenin, since reinforcements from Ger stopped. A few turns ago, I thought Ger was on a death spiral and Jpn was holding its own. But Brit and partially U.S., switched units and builds towards India/China. UK Pac has 9 planes. That’s a major investment. I gladly trade Lenin for Moscow and its cash and major IC. The U.S. has a major tank corps that will give Ger a tough fight and Brit will come from the south. -
I put everything into the battle so it didn’t rely on the luck of the dice. It turned out slightly better than the battle calc. Ger attacked with an equal # of units but with more firepower and TUV of 417, vs 289 for Rus. Ger lost 235 TUV, Rus 289, for a net TUV of 54. The good dice roll was a small battle: the Ger sub attack on the U.S. dd in sz125. The equal battle odds resulted in a win for Ger and payback for Ger subs lost in the last round. Although ironically, it will reduce the cash that Ger would get from taking Mos.

The dice were slightly in the favor of Germany. It wasn’t much above normal, but the benefit will be enormous. If you had rolled slightly below average, Bryansk could be recaptured by the Russians and reinforced with Allied forces. Moscow could go back again on the offensive the following few rounds, and Egypt would likely fall in a couple of rounds.
Having a few more tanks than expected completely changes all of these scenarios. Obviously this is not an unexpectedly crazy outcome, but it sure is a huge help for you Rommel.

The Rus tank & mech took the wrong fork in the road on the way to attacking the Ger tank in Yakut. Who would go to a place called Sui, when you can go to Yakut?

Jpn ground troops close to allied strength and 12 planes double allied fig/tb before AA. 9 of 12 subject to AA. Bat calc 78%. Chi & Bri fig move north towards Man was my opening.
