Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Russians regular : -0.67 Germans regular : 1.67
-
As tantalizing as a German fleet is, it is so important to get on top of Russia fast.
This is old school - buy as many ground first 3 rounds as you can, or Russia stuffs you.
Let’s see if I can remember how to deal with this - it’s been a long time! In other words, well played
-
I’m going to attack 113 and ask for a scramble -
You can tell me now or wait until I post entire Combat move - but just so you know it’s coming soon -
Actually, I’m ready…
-
Oh, and do you submerge the sub
-
And as strategically valuable the Russian sub can be, thanks for destroying it. It’s a pain figuring out US/UK fleet movements on Russia’s turn.
-
@gamerman01 full scramble and the sub fights.
-
Confused on my 2 computers - that was a local mode map so am re-doing the exact same thing I showed you, then rolling
-
Triple A regularly crashes on my desktop, so I normally don’t use it to make my moves…
-
Your sub misses, my sub misses, my cruiser hit, your casualty?

Yeah. When I played you last, I was rusty with the axis (as like you I prefer playing allies) and I was letting your Western allies distract me to much. The axis have to be able to get past Bryansk before they face too much pressure on the West or they are done. So I tried to be a bit more aggressive against the British in G1 (which didn’t fully pay off) and then focus more on the soviets after.

@gamerman01 sub
-
Order is restored, average result of 1 sub lost
-
Fighters do their job, what they’re paid to do. Just like they did in 97 UK1
-
@gamerman01 phew!
-
Right! I’ve yet to see that one go bad, but it sure could. Of course I’m very happy to get something
-
Oh. I see there’s a lot more math to do. I can set up better than I thought…
-
Like I said, long time since I’ve had a good strong traditional G offensive with a huge stack on Bel G4. But it’s coming back…
