@trulpen did I not warn you that others would not be so forgiving of your blunders so you would have to play more carefully or else learn such hard lessons?

So what are Hitler‘s plans? I expect him, reasonable as he was, to demand nothing less than demanding his generals to present a plan for taking London as revenge:-)

[trulpen]

Not sure I will, but may I change Italy’s setup before doing Germany? Maybe also change some CM where there would be no dice?

I find this very tricky. Probably game over. As I see it UK can likely crush Berlin again. They will never produce again until it’s too late.

[JDOW]

Yeah. Berlin will fall again and I played UK very poorly as I could have setup the retake of Berlin way way better. I rushed the move out before I headed to the gym and did not think through what options on Berlin I had next turn.

What Italian changes do you have in mind?

[trulpen]

Making more of a fleet attack on z92, stacking there, keeping empty space for german air. Haven’t calculated, likely a desperado, but game is tense.

Hitting z125 with the bomber instead, relieving german air.

[trulpen]

I can post a new file, so it’s easier to evaluate. Nothing that impacted France anyway.

[JDOW]

Okay, but in case you changed the attack in 92 you’d have to reroll the battle there.

How do you want to know that? Maybe the ONE Frenchman in London would have played his turn ENTIRELY different:D

Even if the dice are the same?

[trulpen]

Nevermind, you have 2 des, 2 ac and 3 figs to scramble. Can’t hit the fleet with G anyway.

[JDOW]

Different attack, new dice. and I am talking about 92. You cannot change the number of units moving into a sea zone after knowing the defense dice.

But as you said, the Germans can’t reach 91 anyway as the AB is disabled. Not sure if that makes the discussion obsolete.

The option is definitely obsolete.
