13L G40 PGMatt vs Eqqman (allies +9) Game 1

[Seador]

@Eggman:

Time for one of the most crucial decisions of my gaming life…

My guts tell me to go for the 55% attack on Rome, but I’m just to nervous about that going badly.

Well, for what it is worth, I think you made the right call not attacking.  I dont normally look at the odds from a battle calc when gaming so might just have seen it differently, but you’re enjoying a 2:1 income advantage, and none of the primary Allies are in a position to crumble…so why would you fight a 50/50 battle?  Even the autowins can go sideways sometimes.

Destroying my factory in Germany was something I didn’t think about as a tactic, that was dirty.

Like I told Jeff in my other mid game; i’m going to keep playing this one for a bit longer.  I dont see an Axis comeback, but midgame play for either side is something I have no experiance with.

Scramble in the Red Sea?

You’re basically deciding if it is worth it to remove some of your Fighters from the defense of Cairo in order to try and stop 4 Art + 1 Inf arriving.

You’re basically deciding if it is worth it to remove some of your Fighters from the defense of Cairo in order to try and stop 4 Art + 1 Inf arriving.

but, if I have the rule correct, the fighters “return to base” so they would probably be destroyed on the ground.

I’ll take my chances and not scramble.

Yes, you’re correct.  Since there are no other Italian territories adjacent to the Sea Zone, if you scramble and I capture Cairo anyway, the Fighters die.

Ok, thanks for the game!

I’d prefer to stick with playing the Allies, if that is ok with you.
