Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Rather disappointed in that Bulgaria attack. Battle calculator says there was an 85% chance of victory.
By the way, was the attack on Greece a good idea? Thank you!
Also, in response to your comment about serving in the 11th ACR (in case you missed it the first time I sent it):
Cool! Does that mean you were an instructor?
Also, did you ever consider joining the Navy, Marines, Air Force, or Coast Guard? Or were you always set on serving in the Army? Thank you!

I did a little instructing and participated in a few notable wargames but most of my time was spent helping the units get on and off the base. The units that train there bring their own equipment. Trains come through the base that are miles long with Abrams, Bradley, large trucks, HMMWVs and all kinds of other vehicles. Its nuts. Anyway, it takes a lot of coordination to load and unload all this stuff.
Hah, yes and I like your questions. I wanted to fight so I aimed at the Marines first. I had a very bad experience in a Marine Corp recruit depot so I walked next door to the Army. And that was that.
Good to know. Must’ve been crazy to manage all that equipment, depending on how many units were there. Nice story about how you chose your branch.
Anyways, you can go now on your turn (and in case you missed it, I’ll ask it again). Was the attack on Greece by Britain a good idea? Thank you!

The whole story about selecting my branch and all that is in my other book. It’s not as raw or gripping as my first book, the account from Sapper school but it’s got some interesting stories about training up to be an officer. Anyway, heres the link if you’re interested:
https://www.amazon.com/Cadet-Experience-Ryan-Andrew-Voznick/dp/B08DVD64QQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24U92ZQ0TB7S9&keywords=cadet!+ryan+voznick&qid=1696301052&sprefix=cadet+ryan+voznick%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-1
As regards Greece, I’m still developing my opinion on Greece in this position (who should take it and when after Constantinople falls). I’m not sure. No matter what though, it appears to be a “no man’s land”.
Cool! I’ll check out the book sometime.
Yeah, Greece is a tough one.
I will say I didn’t anticipate you moving the entire Bulgaria stack, but it makes sense considering that I wouldn’t have been able to move in force into that territory.
