Interesting … do you scramble?
@jim010 yes full scramble.
@jim010 damn didn’t see that your Bomber could join in as well. A minor setback becomes a major one… :p
Maybe … just trying to see if I can hold Gibraltar without losing my transports with your British bomber lurking in the area. Doesn’t look like I can protect them without my fleet.

There you go. Tried to make sure you can’t land. But I can’t compete with the British in the middle east, so not sure how much longer I can hang in there.

@jim010 I can’t hit your transports. And I have no luck right now. If you want to turn this around I suggest you should continue playing tonight. You r sub hit 2 1’s in a row against US and in another game right after a sub, once again, hit on a 1’. The French Fighter in this round couldn’t hit on a 3. It’s small things, but so far this has cost me 92 IPC.
lol. If I win, its not due to skill.
@jim010 haha :p I didn’t say that you’d win because of this hehe ;) The nice thing about being the Allies is that time is on their side and I agree that UK are strong in the Middles East now.
Yes, which is why I attack Russia turn 2 and drive straight for Moscow. But this middle east thing is 100% fowling up the Germans. I did better with the Italians this game, but I need to figure out how to better use the German planes to assist the Italians. And my Japan game is a mess.
@jim010 I’ve heard that turn 3, usually is the most effective time to attack Russia with Germany, but I like the idea of attacking turn 2. To be completely honest. I have never won a match with the Axis powers and feel like it’s easier with the Allies due to the bid. But since all the rest of the community insist on a bid to even things out, I guess I’m (still) just a poor Axes player :p But I’ve lost numerous matches with the Allies, so it’s obviously not impossible haha
Play the big guns in the league. Might give you a challenge.
@jim010 yea I know. It’s not like I win with the Allies every time - at all. But I find it easier to find a victory with them (0 so far with Axis). I’ve won a few matches, not a lot. But I’ve been close a bunch of times.

If you landed in Morroco or Gibraltar with the US, you could then hit it with the British. I was looking to prevent that.
