1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

  • '20

    French fig was hoping for one of those defense rolls that have been so common this game!


  • Russian defence rolls have been good. Glad it was a French unit.


  • @wittmann:

    Yea! You got the Frog Ft that sank your lovely Cruiser. Good job. I feel like hugging you.

    Somebody hold him back …… PLEASE! :-o


  • @wittmann:

    cam you movr thr fleet to SZ112 though and the Sub to SZ106?

    Cannot look at the map on this device. But feel free to edit to sz112, Leo, if that is safe.

    Where is sz106? Do you mean build the sub there? Want to leave the sub in sz125 there for the R NO.


  • Not needed . Ed has invaded Siberia!

  • Please use my post Ed; Adolf has given his permission.


  • In this variant allied forces in R invalidate the Archangel NO?


  • We are playing OOB. Russia gets a shit deal .

    No NO for Russia as there are allied (USA) units everywhere in Russia.  Ftrs, bomber, ground troops in SFE.  I loaded the Ger turn as edited by Witt.  The Russian dice luck failed this turn.

    Attacking Bry and assuming max defense aa get taken as hits.  Let me know otherwise.
    Adam, you didn’t learn your lesson from the Baltic battle.  I’ll take close to even odds to attack before Ger air makes it impossible.  The Italian retreat was crucial, not taking Bry meant Ger planes couldn’t land for defense.  Bat calc odds in Bry are 47-50 %, with same number of survivors if attacker or defender wins.  Allies have more cash, production, units and TUV, so I’ll take even trade of units any day.


  • Taht is finei made it 48% too.

    Edited to change my hit removal on last round of battle so as to keep 2 art instead of 2 mech.  First round of Bry went average, no AA hits.  R2, Rus didn’t roll well, but I gave it one more round.  R3 was a disaster, Rus hit hardly anything, Ger rolled average.  Retreated to Mos.  Ger can now go thru gap in defense and take Volg (Stalin).


  • Ballssy attack in Bryansk Ed. Glad it was not blessed with too much luck though! :-D

    Of course I did your odds before moving there but with your odds just below 50% and 11 follow up G ground units (from memory) plus air thought even a R victory was likely to prove Phyrric.

    G does not have the time to mess around! :wink: Now 5 less R units to outnumber!
