15L G40 Playoff game Alexgreat (Allies +24) vs. Majikforce (Axis)

[majikforce]

No worries Alex. Life always comes first. Get to it when you can. My Japan turn was rushed so it might give me time to look it over, but don’t wait for me if you can get to it tonight. Thanks for the heads up!

[lexgreat]

I am back and will move tomorrow, needt to think anew as I kind of forgot initial thoughts. Will try my best to move tomorrow Tuesday! Hope you had some fine days over Easter.

[majikforce]

Great!  Can’t wait.  Easter was awesome.  Hope yours was good too.

I forgot to non combat move a US DD, did so with edit. Unaffected by any UK or Italy rolls, hope thats ok, sorry. Totally useless in sz42…

Nice N-Ita outcome for Axis, now the Axis double-move! Rd 17, wow.

[majikforce]

Yes quite a favorable defense for Italy in such a big battle.  Kinda makes me laugh that such an important battle involves France vs Italy. :-D

[lexgreat]

true ;)

[majikforce]

So apparnetly I messed up the greater southern germany battle.  The extra fighter and bomber from southern italy were supposed to be in on the attack, but they went to western germany instead.  Clicked on the battles too fast before i realized the error.  I will roll the fighter and bomber here in the forum.  If they hit then its one loss of an inf for each of us.  I will edit back the losses from western germany and my planes.  Hope I explained it well enough and you agree.

[majikforce]

Here goes.  I think i remeber how
