Well, you did another very aggressive opening move, this time for Italy. We will see if it works…
Yes, my British turn was to discourage you from going west in the Med. I let Gibralter fall to the Axis in a game against Farmboy last year, and never could get it back. Previously, I had thought that Gibralter was indefensible for the Axis, but he proved me wrong.
However, the real prize in the Med is Egypt. I’ll need a wee bit of help with the dice, but an eastern Med battle is shaping up nicely!
-
Taking out Cyprus early takes away 2 Brit N.O.'s, a significant amount for the country that plays a key role in the allied effort. You spent most of U.S. cash on 2 CV’s this turn, that was a serious bet. So I have Farmboy to blame for your Gibraltar opening gambit. Italy can still retreat to home waters if need be. However, the long arm of the Luftwaffe is never far away.
-
Just a reminder that it is really your turn (Germany2), and not mine. Your last post was merely a comment on my Allied move…

I’m behind schedule on taking my turn with Wizmark’s game. Had other stuff going on, will take my turn this evening.

I wish that the Brit DD had sunk with the Bismarck. It cost me a fighter to sink it, but I wanted it out of the way of my subs. That’s also one less fighter to sink the Brit fleet in the Med. :relaxed:

Touche’. I knew that UK might move fleet to protect Egypt, but didn’t think you would invest in airbase and move in all planes., while still attacking Iraq and Syria. The dice were kind to you. In Syria and Iraq, you could have lost your ground troops and not taken the territories. And my DD could have given a hit. Now, your fleet is too strong to attack and Italian fleet and army are too weak to stay where they are.
-
That airbase in Egypt is golden. I lost a game earlier this year when I DIDN’T put an airbase there to protect my fleet, and a bad-Allied-dice battle sunk my fleet. So, you may use your Luftwaffe to sink it, but as in the real war, remember that any airplanes you lose will have your best Ace pilots, and that will come back to haunt you later.
-
Yes, the dice were kind to the Brits on that turn…
-
I didn’t actually need to take Syria or Iraq that turn, but I did need to kill the units in Syria, so that I could guarantee that the Suez would remain open for my ships

I expect Germany to provide substantial air power for Italy to take out and hold Egypt. I saw how useful it was for you as Germany, instead of Italy, to take Greece, with its deep pockets. But it turned out to be more than I bargained for. An airbase in Greece, will give double protection for the Italian fleet in sz97. But your consolidated position off Egypt with its airbase, and your 3 transports, are a serious threat to Greece itself. Even 3 fighters isn’t enough defense, I will have to commit substantial ground troops that should instead be going to Russia. Or else abandon Greece temporarily. I have to decide if its worth tying up UK resources so they don’t go to Russia. U.S. can garrison Gibraltar before Italy can reach it.
