Well, we pretty much committed to defending Yunnan. So R2 send all air to Yunnan.
He can send his entire airforce and get a 80-20 battle, but will only have 5 planes left. That is a good trade for us.
We can’t stop the advance to Ukraine with the forces we have…can’t worry about that now
Block Novgorod advance by placing 1 inf in Baltic States and reinforcing Belarus or even Novgorod?
Italy can can-open tank + sb, and then G. rushes grab Novgorod (if left empty) and puts 2 inf + 6 mech + 9 tanks to cover the Italian tank for future can-opening.
Maybe buy 3 art, place in Novgorod with 7 inf. Will hold. Saves 5 IPC for 1 turn,
His reinforcements in Baltic States (2 inf + 6 mech + 9 tanks + 1 Italian tank + 2 tac) could be at risk 85-15% battle.
Sounds good, but he can hold Karelia, run to the south and pick up real money, and force the turtle. As soon as the Northern force flees, then he’ll get the Novgorod money.
If we go with defend the north. The units to the south should forget about anything else and run to Bryansk.
The alternative is just by inf and pull back. Not a bad proposition, considering the ground assault that G is building.

@crockett36 Gentlemen,
This is my proposal for R2
@crockett36 you all have 12 hours. Seems pretty vanilla.
The movement back to sakha is supposed to draw Japan’s gaze north, pinning troops in Manchuria. Obviously they are intended to join up with the marines in SFE.
@surfer didn’t see your post. appreciate the analysis. I’m inclined to turtle, but am open to aggression. The weakness caused by the combination of the high bid and the bad luck in 111 opens up potentialities that need to be explored.
@crockett36 I agree. Be defensive in Russia, and look for the cracks to open elsewhere.
Despite the crippled Luftwaffe, the nazis still has a lot of spunk. Go turtle.
I haven’t studied the map yet, but usually anything you stack in Leningrad R2 is dead. Advisable therefore to stack in Belarus and maybe build 3 inf in Leningrad.
@trulpen we need to study map. He won’t have the force multipliers in the attacks. Defense will be more deadly
I need to do the Moscow calculator too
@crockett36 how about this. I think i can keep leningrad, ukraine for one more turn. and let the russian figs defend yunnan. All of that and still turtle back to Moscow? Am I right?

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
So this is what I estimate the battle for Moscow to look like if we turtle. Smolensk vs Vologda.
@crockett36 we win btw
@crockett36 what is the estimated battle?
@crockett36 smolensk vs Vologda
@crockett36 said in ABH and crockett36, (A+69) tutor game:
@crockett36 smolensk vs Vologda
8 tanks, 1 mech next turn, all dive bombers turn after, all bombers turn after. Sound correct?
@crockett36 sorry, that was projected German purchases. Russian man spam.
