11L '41 DM (Axis) vs. LL (Allies + 6) +NO, No Tech, 14 VC

@max334 On PtV, with a German naval buy, I think UK has to do a full London buy (all ground units), not hit Taranto, and save fighters for the UK defense. The risk for Sea Lion is just too high. (this is from @axis-dominion - he’s a top player on this map)
