At the end I did a NCM and placement edit. I decided to move an infantry from Karelia to Caucasus and then place 6 infantry in Karelia and 3 in Russia.

Only transport 2 armor to Bry, and leave 2 infantry on the home islands to protect against a last ditch desperation effort.
Also, bomber from 57 lands on Japan. -
Since you haven’t posted anything -
I’m going to go even more conservative. Don’t land anything at all on Bry - keep it all on the home islands.
Even if you’ve started planning the UK move, this has no bearing on their turn. Plus, you’ve made more late adjustments (more than a half hour after posting) than I have this game, so this should be acceptable. -

This is a 41% shot on Moscow. Obviously, I would be happy to capture Moscow, but I think as long as I can eliminate all ground units (52% chance) it will be a success for the Axis. Especially if I can keep my bombers. Or, I might get cold feet after the first round, in which case I may have given up a differential of about 8 infantry. But with all 3 axis powers having a decent presence near Moscow, I think going round by round is a good move here, since there are only 4 UK fighters there right now, and a lot of the Russian ground forces are away. I realize by these facts, that Dutchman is prepared for me to attack Moscow, but I think it’s the move to make (obviously, or I wouldn’t do it). Plus, we are going to be the last round 2 game to finish, and I really don’t have the patience.
One more look at it before I roll dice…. -

Make that 8 infantry and 2 bombers, which would be horrible, but very unlikely. You can’t play this game effectively being worried about the worst that can happen, you just have to ask yourself if you’re prepared for the worst to happen, and sometimes you’re not, but you want to attack anyway.

Ow. Bombers must have been seriously damaged by flak. And the panzers didn’t make it there yet. But the 88’s went crazy.
