Capt Witt (Allies!) and Private P (Axis) clash in 1940

[Witt]

I think it was the right move. Iwo closer to you and in the middle of nowhere for me. I expected yiu to move earlier.
I cannot Attack and would rather not stay at Iwo. Might have to giSouth, but Philippines is 4 away, I think. Carolines, seems like a step back.
The initiative  is with you.  I can’t afford a mistake.
Will keep plugging in Europe

[Witt]

Afternoon.
Scramble to SZ112?
I have agonised for 3 hours over this go.

My path is strewn with cowpats from the devil’s own herd!

I woukd like to have seen you come back from the loss of Berlin. One turn without buying anything, would have made a refreshing change and given me breathing space. Oh well! You can thank those loyal Danish policemen and Volksturm for stopping us at the beaches.

Morning. We are off soon, so that is me done playing for a while.
Hope you can survive. (Not sure I can!)
Russia only has two units, so have a think about what I can do. Am trying to keep Germany away from the ME, so if you think an attack is worth it, please do it. I won’t complain, if you think it was worthwhile. Then follow up with Japan, so I can have a meaty go go do on my return.
In our Team Game, I am sure you can see what I was doing: I thought I could put pressure on Eastern Europe for the NOs. He could build up and come at Moscow from the North, so watch that. He does not have any Italian units, to can open. Check that does not change, please.
Talk later. Your friend, Leo.

@wittmann:

Russia only has two units, so have a think about what I can do. Am trying to keep Germany away from the ME, so if you think an attack is worth it, please do it. I won’t complain, if you think it was worthwhile. Then follow up with Japan, so I can have a meaty go go do on my return.

Hey Leo - Hope your trip north was uneventful?

I don’t think R should do anything. They are matched by the G force in Caucasus and cannot get anywhere else. If they do win the Caucasus there are no UK units to can open for. So even thought the turn order makes then can openers for the UK, leave it and hope such an opportunity arises in the future.

If I don’t hear otherwise I’ll do R on that basis.

Don’t spend too much time on A&A! Wife and daughter first!

BTW - the idea of launching G fighters against your subs off Italy, supported by the It DD I placed there did not work. The battle did not take account of the It DD. I must have misunderstood your answer when I asked in advance whether this would work.

I know multinational forces attack separately but I had hoped that since in the same sz they might support each other.

So - trying it the other way around - if on It’s go the DD attacks the subs, will the G planes be offered to scramble in support? I imagine the DD won’t be there come It’s go, but would be good to know.

BTW - I started G’s go again when the sub attack proved pointless, as I had wasted a lot of resources on it. Hope that was okay.

[Witt]

They can only defend, if I leave the UK Subs there on my go. I have to risk sinking the DD and surviving the Air’s first round or retreat out it the SZ.
Sorry if I did not explain properly.

Leo - you’ll see my attack on your US fleet in sz 33. I have a 90% chance of success.

In light of your ability to land fighters on the Carolines, what should your casualty order be?

[Witt]

I wouldn’t believe the 90%, if I were you.
Maximum defence please. Fts and Battleship last.
