G40: Private Panic (Allies, USA +10/turn) vs. teslas

[teslas]

Jesus, I know, I take back all the mean things I said about what UK did to Italy. What Germany did to the U.K. med fleet was every bit as unfair, perhaps slightly moreso.

I might be overextending Japan just a little bit too much, but I think I can keep it together.

Don’t forget to +10 America at the end of their turn after they make income, sir.

You sneaky punk! I did not see that bomber in range of my transport. That stings pretty hard.

Time to think about what to do as the Axis in the light of you pushing both theaters at once as America. You definitely invested enough to outpace German naval spending.

[teslas]

Okay, the entire Italian turn likely depends on this one thing:

I ended up pussying out of being super aggressive with the Atlantic Axis. I think I’m going to make you have a Very Bad Day with decent odds instead of trying to make you have an Extremely Bad Day with chancy odds.

Saw your sub blocking TT question. Only thing I can think of is Italy declaring war on Russia, with G’s TT going north on its turn? There’s no subs to block Italy’s Med TT.

I was thinking of declaring on Russia, then using the German TT to take Novgorod, but the economic gains/losses weren’t worth it, especially since I need my navy to kill the American navy, so I couldn’t have blocked SZ 125 against the Russian NO.

Scramble all 3 fighters please tes.

BTW - I think I am killing the German navy rather than you killing the US one!

You should win it, but the avg is 5 units left - which is 4 bombers and 1 other unit. Whereas the US has more navy to bring to bear……

G has purchased 4 subs I see so that will cause me more problems.

Good luck though! :wink:

Phew, that first round was awful. The second round, thank sweet baby fucking jesus, went a bit better for me.

I had 4 units left, not 5, but that’s fine. I kept my expensive bombers, and the rest was just there to take hits anyway.

I think that pretty much ends the American threat in the Atlantic for the next two turns, but unfortunately, I have been building almost no land units, so soviets are going to have one hell of a fucking wall up by the time I get into Russia.

[Private-Panic]

That’s the idea of course - the more G invests in a losing naval war the better for the allies I reckon!

No doubt you’ll prove me wrong!
