[trulpen]

Another change, although I’m not att the computer so can’t post a new file. Anyway, the sub will stay in z42 instead of joining the bs in z37. Juat a little extra support to further dissuade some crazy double-attack on the fleet.

[trulpen]

May even have to pull back more from z41 and/or 37. Will have to look at it more closely.

[trulpen]

Better safe than sorry. Stacking z42.

If i was to stack belarus instead the buy would probably change as well.

Seems you choose to stack Leningrad after all. That’s a bold venture risking splitting the formiable Red Army, but I guess Russia wants to take a bite after half of the Luftwaffe is taking a permanent vacation in the Med. We’ll see how it plays out.

We will see how it goes. There is a good chance I’ll regret this but it seemed to me to be possible in the circumstances. And it’s fun to try something different.

[trulpen]

Yes, might be worth a try. Germany does have a complicated task of protecting both an incursion in Belarus and it’s problematic fleet. Again I realize grabbing Iceland is a pretty suspect move.

This is going to make for an interesting G/R 4. A decisive win in Belarus for either of us probably determines the game.

Oh, I think have to revise the italian grab of Belarus. Calculated with 32 russian inf, but see now that it’s actually 42. Duh. Think it was a good buy and move then of you to stay in Leningrad.

[farmboy]

@trulpen that is fine. I was surprised you went for it.

[trulpen]

It would’ve been a washout. Thanks!

@trulpen I was surprised you went for it but I was thinking of ways that you could make it work after and I thought one option you had (which I initially missed) was to attack Leningrad and retreat to Belarus, either trading the inf in karelia/vyborg against mine or retreating them and the tank to belarus. That might have evened the odds in belarus. I still don’t think I would have risked it, but I thought that might make an attack by me more of a gamble.

I actually looked at that option, but the problem there is that I would likely lose much more than you, which would make a counter-attack even better for Russia. If the expected TUV would’ve been about even it might’ve been worth the risk, but probably not. Still a very high risk option. If the stack had been in the Baltic it would’ve been a great move, but then you wouldn’t have stacked Leningrad.

[farmboy]

@trulpen yeah you would likely lose more than me, but probably not lose many units that could defend Belarus whereas I would have lost units that were part of the attack. Definitely risky and depending on the dice, it might make things worse, but it might have given you more of a chance too. When you took belarus I thought you must have been thinking of something like that given the odds I had were 80%.
