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

[FMErwinRommel]

It took a long time to build up the Amer airforce to the size necessary to take out such a large ground force.  Constantly attacking the Ita DD tied up bombers.  I don’t see another way for your reinforcements to reach the frontline.  Italy has been a major pain for the allies, who have expended major resources.  Those many 5 point N.O.s allow Italy to pop right back up.  Italy’s location near the 8th Victory City means I can’t ignore it.  ANZ N.O.s give Japan a similar problem.   I edited Rus inf to Persia on my turn, since Rus doesn’t take its own turn anymore.

The Japanese world is shrinking.  General MacArthur announced the first strategic bombing of the Phil.  But the raid was only partially successful, as AA hit the bomber targeting the more important naval base.  The air base was heavily damaged.  ANZ sub production resumed.

At the end of round 18, Brit and Ger each had 77 ground units, including AA, on the Iraq/N. Persia front line.  The U.S. and Ger had about the same number of planes each in or within attack range of that area.  The allies had 104 units, 578 TUV with defense of 215.  The axis had 89 units, 425 TUV and 178 defense in N. Persia, not counting the bombers stationed elsewhere.  This will be the mother of all battles if and when it occurs.  If the allies could attack jointly, this could be more dangerous for Ger.  Ger can and is spending a few bucks in the Atlantic to harass the allies, forcing them to spend there also.  Awaiting Japan’s turn, Witt.  There are now officially no Rus units left in the game.

It is very tight Ed. I think G gains a couple of units per turn on the allies, but that’s by building useless mechs. Japan is not demanding enough attention from the allies.

All this complex A&A planning is getting to me.  ANZ attacked Borneo DD, sub and tt with planes and sub, but I decided to save ANZ DD, since I had enough power.  Forgot that I couldn’t hit the Jpn sub without DD.  Wasn’t paying close attention to the prompts and clicked remain.  Should have clicked subs submerge.  Jpn sub rolled a 1 and sank the ANZ sub first strike.  Lucky dice for Jpn.  I sank the Jpn DD and tt, but the sub lives on.  Bombing raid on Phil naval base max damage.

[Private-Panic]

Are these mistakes in the turn you have just taken Ed? If so, feel free to use forum dice and edits to adjust where you can. :-)

[FMErwinRommel]

Thanks, but it was my fault for attacking.  However, if Witt says he would have submerged, if asked, then we can just ignore the underwater battle and restore the ANZ sub.  What do you say Witt?  I know Colt’s standard reply is submerge in the absence of DD.

[Private-Panic]

I will get on with Germany while we await Leo’s answer. :-)

Ed - I did not scramble into sz 109 as it would have been suicide.

I agree with the no scramble.  I wondered when you would build an IC in Cau.
