ABH vs Innocentbystander G40

[innocentbystander]

@Arthur:

I should have easily gotten Java except that one AA shot down 2 planes, and your destroyer also got a hit in.  3 hits out of 4 for rolling three ones and a two…  I had to take the risk since the islands are worth so much.

That’s terrible.  If you want to go back to that turn, I’ll let you.  Dice shouldn’t be that…. evil.

@Arthur:

That infantry wall protecting the Caucuses took critical troops away from the main stack.  Now the main stack is too week and I can crush it unless the dice are evil.

I thought about that.  The thing is I felt I HAD to move “six” to Rostov.  I had no choice.  The Italians with their bombers might actually attack it if I went light and you dice were good and I don’t get a hit.  Then Germany Blitzes the Caucuses and Volograd.  Now I’m screwed.

I almost moved the Anzac carrier to Java this turn.  But I would have had to spend the 15 PU on a Java airbase to scramble Americans to protect the carrier and fighters from Kwangzi and Philippines (Anzac sub can’t block CVs) which meant no transports and no real possible attack from Anzac next turn.  I may regret that.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

The events of the Pacific are generally irrelevant now.  The easy fall of Moscow with no losses of airplanes on G6 inevitably means doom for the Allies.  With Egypt already in Italian hands, complete victory will likely happen on G7 with the fall of Volgograd.  I don’t see a way to stop it.  No way to get Egypt back anytime soon and the four US transports are not sufficient to capture a victory city.

[innocentbystander]

Russia is real hard to play.  I think I’m good with UK, USA, and especially ANZAC (whom are vitally important) but I keep f-ck-ng up the Soviets.

Unless something strange happens, I should have all of the European victory cites next round.  I don’t see a way that you can regain any of them.  Moscow, Volgograd, and Novgorod should all be captured and easily held by the Germans. There are some battles that will have a 1% chance of winning to get them back, and I have lost on such events before…

It isn’t over till the end of this round.  If you can regain a European VC, you will prolong the match.  I see a couple of opportunities with a slim chance of success.

I wish the American fleet was in sea zone 92.  Then I might have a decent shot at Rome.  Alas…
