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

[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.

Nevermind, we have an  intercept  option too

[Colt45554]

and of course, ignore the ukraine MARTIS. Had to get the intercept box off my screen so hit “none” meaninglessly.
