Kilroynothere (Axis) vs Wheatbeer (Allies)

[wheatbeer]

No problem, and thanks  :-)

[kilroynothere]

Hope the delay wasn’t too long. Finally had a moment to think about things. Your opening move is really fascinating. Put me off my initial Italy ideas.

No worries on delay.  I thought I could stop Italy from getting any NO’s, but not quite.  I was also happy to find a use for British Somaliland.  Still, I’m interested to see how long I can fend off Italy in the Mediterranean.

[kilroynothere]

Plus, with the -4 convoy raids, knocked Italy down pretty good. With the big french/UK navy at Suez, not sure how fast Italy will grow. And, with the US massing in the Atlantic…. not sure. Having not played the Axis, it really seems daunting, but certainly is fun.

I’ll have German moves in an hour or so.

Wow!!!  OK, that was painful, but it worked.

So 4 hits, CV + 2 ftrs gone.

Germans lose 2ftrs, 1 tac

[wheatbeer]

I forgot about German planes, glad my carrier punched back though.

[kilroynothere]

Oh yeah… all 7 units in the battle hit. That is some crazy odds. You may have forgot, but you cost my German airforce dearly. Brutal.
