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

[Private-Panic]

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!

[FMErwinRommel]

Won’t be around to take USA turn until Sat night.

[FMErwinRommel]

Even if I had rolled better than you, would have retreated.  An average dice roll would have taken out all your inf and all but one mech, which was my goal.

[FMErwinRommel]

Russia mistake was building aa last turn.  An inf or two more could have filled the gap between Mos and Vol.  As it is, I needed every unit in my attacks.

[Private-Panic]

It must be galling to have launched 2 50/50 attacks and not been lucky in either. Sometimes a risky attack deserves to be lucky.

Nevertheless G is happy to trade units 1 to 1 with R and especially happy for its inf and mech to be fighting with a power if 2 rather than 1.

Fingers crossed that if G risks a 50/50 battle I am luckier! :wink:

I’m impressed Witt by how much you did with just 1 tt and few mobile units to save Malay and strike back.  Must be nice to have so many planes, CV and air bases to make up for limitations.

[Witt]

Thank you.
I like fighting when my back against the wall. I fancy myself a bit of a FM Model, Hitler’s Fireman. I like juggling units and defending multiple directions… Have played many games , where the situation is hopeless , just  because I like defending like that.
I can hold on, if Adam can win fir us.

Enjoy your time with the grandchildren.
