Ger -5.67 dice. Air attack on SZ97 0/7 power 25; Brit fleet 2/4 power 11. If Ger had rolled average in Gre and had almost all its air left, it could have sank all surface ships in Med and built fleet in Gre to threaten wide open N. Afr. Japan could have built up to 7 DD instead of 5 planes. That would have saved the fleet, but stopped all pressure on Rus and Brit. Decent Ger dice could have allowed Japan to continue to build its fleet. Japan convoy blockade on Africa has never met expectations. Needed that and bombing of Mideast I.C.s, coupled with threat in the Med to tie up Brit. Japan could have built a few ships, to give it a fighting chance. Now all depends on the Divine Wind.

@FMErwinRommel said in FMERommel (Axis) vs Desert Admiral (Allies+16):

Ger -5.67 dice. Air attack on SZ97 0/7 power 25; Brit fleet 2/4 power 11. If Ger had rolled average in Gre and had almost all its air left, it could have sank all surface ships in Med and built fleet in Gre to threaten wide open N. Afr. Japan could have built up to 7 DD instead of 5 planes. That would have saved the fleet, but stopped all pressure on Rus and Brit. Decent Ger dice could have allowed Japan to continue to build its fleet. Japan convoy blockade on Africa has never met expectations. Needed that and bombing of Mideast I.C.s, coupled with threat in the Med to tie up Brit. Japan could have built a few ships, to give it a fighting chance. Now all depends on the Divine Wind.

Out of 860 German rolls the median is 4.0 and average is 3.495. That beats all of the Allied countries except for USSR. Just the bad rolls seem to come on very important battles…

Divine wind?

[FMErwinRommel]

I may not take my turn until late. Regardless of what happens in the Phil Sea battle, Japan has 93 P.U. to spend and its empire won’t collapse quickly. Nor will Euro Axis. I have to plan for the post big fleet era and try to maintain my position on the mainland. Last turn I made the mistake of buying planes instead of ships. But now I must keep those planes close by Phil to save it. Would have been better just to have built ships instead.

Intercept bomb raid on Russia? Japan 4 bombers & 4 ftrs vs 5 U.S. & 4 Brit ftrs. Based on your history and superiority of numbers I will assume yes if I don’t hear from you soon. If a hit, which country?

Glad that I didn’t take Jpn turn right away. I’m dense, I finally realized that I could put my own DD blockers and build 12 ships for 90 P.U. to put the odds back in my favor. Not guaranteed, but the average net TUV would be very negative.
A repeat on the bombing air battle. Jpn 0/8, Allies 2/9. With an AA loss. I lost 32 TUV for 16 damage in Russia. In the prior 2 rounds, the U.S. and Brit lost 1 of 6 bombers and caused 24 damage. That’s a 2-1 return on your investment.

@FMErwinRommel Scrambles in sz97 & sz35? Merry Christmas if you’ve already hit the sack.

[FMErwinRommel]

Full scramble both sea battles. Roll dice before I choose OOL

Odds improve in SZ35 and I landed extra fighters that will be available for second attack by ANZ.

I didn’t see the all air Phil Sea battle coming, landing on CVs that move in NCM and avoiding Kamikaze. I didn’t think about U.S. fighters landing on CV. I was premature in building Italian tt until the Allies were cleared.
