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

[FMErwinRommel]

Witt, ANZ bombed China IC.  I knew you wouldn’t be available to ask about intercepting, but assumed that your solo fighter would not oppose my bomber and single fighter escort at a numerical disadvantage.  If you think otherwise, we can redo that combat.

[Witt]

Fine without intercepting, thank you.

@FMErwinRommel:

Interesting change to Italy’s build routine.  A DD on the west coast of Italy, not the east.  Out of normal range of bombers and forcing allied subs to leave convoy blocking in order to attack.  You should have tried that sooner.

I looked at it a number of times, but every time I did your US air was better placed for both sea zones. No doubt I missed it on occasion too.

Remembered to move your UK sub.

[Witt]

Three Bombers to Egypt: you mental?

[Private-Panic]

I must be. I agreed to partner you in this game! Time for your Japan to make the allies tremble! :evil:

Japan help in this game: you mental?

[Private-Panic]

Clearly!!!

[FMErwinRommel]

3 bombers to Egypt turned out okay for Ger.  No AA hits despite increased odds.  And 2 bombers rolled 1’s, for damage of 3, so 2 bombers ensured full damage, assuming no AA hit.

[FMErwinRommel]

I slipped up putting 3 Amer subs in sz91.  Usually spread them out so an enemy dd only sinks one sub at a time.  I was thinking I could hit the Ger fleet quicker with them by the naval base.  But overlooked that if so, the Ger dd could likewise hit my subs first.  Costly mistake. 
Witt, skip Rus turn and take Jpn.  I know you said you would be busy this weekend, so whenever.  You are winning the war of dd’s vs subs.

@FMErwinRommel:

3 bombers to Egypt turned out okay for Ger.  No AA hits despite increased odds.  And 2 bombers rolled 1’s, for damage of 3, so 2 bombers ensured full damage, assuming no AA hit.

Yes Ed. The third bomber was to allow for you scoring a hit.

[FMErwinRommel]

I accept your edit out US tt in sz8.  Looks like Jpn just hunkering down with minimal troop builds, waiting for a Ger breakthrough.  By

I was planning a South Seas adventure, but decided: why risk my only asset? My survival , means you can’t not spend some income in the Pacific.

Anhwe was a killer for China this round.  Japan took it without loss this round and when China retook it, all 3 Jpn units gave hits.  But the noose is tightening around Japan.  Borneo was captured and Cel will also be taken.  25 Amer planes annihilated 13 Ger ground troops in a single round in Cau.  But the Ger DD by Gib took an Amer sub and bomber with it to the deep.

[Private-Panic]

I was wondering whether you would ever try that in the Caucasus. I guess I will have to stage my units more carefully.

Cannot see my Italian destroyer being sunk!!!
