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

[FMErwinRommel]

On ANZ turn, I moved to NCM before noticing I hadn’t bombed Volg.  So I opened the game in a second window and ran just that combat so you have marti dice to show the action.  Bomber inflicted 6 damage to IC in Volg.  The only edit I could do would be to change your P.U., but I will let you do that on Ger turn.

Scramble?  S. Italy > sz97 3 Ita or Ger ftrs against 3 bombers and 4 subs?
Intercep?  Assume no intercept in Persia.  1 bomber and 19 ftr escorts vs your 7 Ger ftrs.

[FMErwinRommel]

I see Ger compensated for the growing Amer air presence by holding back inf and art from advancing in order to make the reinforcements in Cauc too big to wipe out in one round of combat.  I would still have won, but would have lost too many defending ftrs and had a negative TUV.  Also, I would not have been able to do the 3 other air attacks.
I am impressed by the massive air force the Americans have amassed in Iraq and from Egypt-India (36).  That surpasses the number of German planes that can attack Iraq.  And excludes allied planes.

Persia.  Attacking with 2 inf, 2 art, 2 tanks against Ger inf, Ita AA and 2 Ita inf.  Will take AA first.  All ground troops have same defense, so if you don’t like my choice of casualties, you can edit which casualties later.

Brit attack Iraq > N. Persia: Brit only 1 hit, pathetic.  I removed the Italian AA.  Axis also 1 hit, I edited out 1 Brit inf.  Brit retreated after first round.  Too much risk of winning and moving in.  But Brit has been under-performing in N. Persia every time.  Battle in Stalingrad was great, and that was more important.  I beat the even odds and TUV is +19.  Ger has fewer units to move to Cauc and can’t build in Stalin this coming turn.  But I can’t repeat that trick for a long time, as I used up the Brit tanks.

[FMErwinRommel]

I was wondering why Jpn moved to sz20.  It did cost UKP 3 convoy PUs.  And the income from the Rus terr’s that I just took go to Brit not UKP.

[FMErwinRommel]

After the Allies retreated from Russia and N. Persia, I was able to stabilize the front line in Iraq to the point that Ger had almost a zero % chance of advancing any further.  When the Axis moved their stack to Persia, it cut off the Allies biggest single source of reinforcements, i.e., India.  I bought inf there the first 2 turns to prevent a quick, easy conquest.  But I also had to divert Amer resources to build interceptors against strat bombing.  Around this time, the Egypt IC shut down until I could get enough defense against strat bombing and air attack on builds from 11 Ger bombers.  The Ger high water mark was when it moved 6 ftrs to Italy, coupled with a large reinforcement of mobile units from Russia.  But this freed up U.S. planes from London.  India was slowly able to build up a mobile strike force and capture Stalingrad.  This temporary disruption of the steady supply of Ger troops to the front line; coupled with the re-activation of the Brit reinforcement chain from Africa and a new chain of American mech, should reduce the threat to Iraq.  Now that India and Egypt have adequate air defenses and Amer subs are back in the Med, the allies can restore the pressure on Japan.

Can you see any good news for the poor beleaguered Axis powers?
