Varn H(Allies) Vs Crunch(Axis) UK5.AAM

[Varn H]

The  :? symbol was an accident. I do my turns ahead of time in notepad, and I put 3 question marks by the battles I might lose troops in. I was supposed to remove the 3 question marks before I hit post.

Japan’s Turn!

[Varn H]

It might help if I put the bomber back in Caucasus on the map file…

[MrMalachiCrunch]

I too use notepad to do my turns, I was using two as I am playing two games in parallel.  It makes for an interesting turn when you open the wrong text file and look at your income from the last round, plan your moves and do your builds only to find out you have more/less than you thought!

Varn H(Allies) Vs Crunch(Axis) R6.AAM

[Varn H]

Germany’s Turn!

Question: does SZ 16 border SZ 14?

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Yes it does.  One angle is Russia on turn 1 builds a sub that can attack Sz14 or Sz15 the following round.  It forces Germany to either sit back in Sz14 and build a destroyer to protect against attack from Sz 16.  As Germany I would still go ahead and attack Egy.  Russia should really be building boots on the ground. 5 Inf+Art+Tank putting the tank in Russia or 3 Inf+3 tanks putting 2 tanks in Russia or the two most common builds for Russia on R1.  Putting the tanks in Russia means they can hit PLUS the newly built units in Caucus.
