Tinydictator: First Blood (Axis)

[tinydictator]

Nah, but my point is that Italy and Germany together have some 115 IPC per turn. And approx. 80 IPC of those will be sent against Russia - every turn. All I need to do in the west is to place some more infantery in Gibraltar and the UK regularly, and those guys are cheap.

Listen, I’m going out now, so I’ll do my next turn probably only very late tonight or tomorrow. No need to wait in front of your PC. :-)

US 6

Buy (66):

2 sub (12)
1 dd (8)
3 fig (30)
1 ac (16)

Combat:

Sz26: 5 sub, 1 dd, 1 cc, 1 ac (Sz10); 1 dd, 1 ac, 1 fig, 1 tac (Sz12 land Mid); 2 fig, 1 tac (W.US land Mid); 1 fig (E.US land 1st ac); 1 fig, 1 tac (Sz 89 land 2nd ac)

That’s 5 sub, 2 dd, 1 cc, 2 ac, 5 fig, 3 tac - do you scramble?

[tinydictator]

Yes I scramble.

OOL: 1st hit on BB (x2), 1st hit on AC (x2), sub, 2nd hit on AC (x2), Tac, Crs, Ftr (x6), 2nd on BB (x2)

If things would go extremely well for me I might consider pushing the second hit on the ACs behind the Crs.

I admit that I got a bit sloppy. Didn’t see the Tac in WUS for example.

But whatever. It should be more or less mutual destruction. You may prevent a Japanese Victory in the Pacific by this. But Europe is still mine.

[Pakitho]

Go time! Since you don’t have a dd, I’ll separate my subs from dds and your planes from your fighters (first the cheaper units) and run attackers before defenders.
