Stalingradski vs Gargantua Alpha 3 No Tech

Good Sir Knight - a damaged carrier is still on the map in SZ97 - you had 7 total hits you could absorb and took 6 hits - I assume you have a cruiser only? I’ll wait to hear from you, though the cruiser makes sense for you to keep.
By the way, a very nice British opener in the Med. I like it - a good use of resources. A good way to limit NOs. A good use of the Scottish Fighter! I don’t see a downside to being able to take out an Italian battleship and two of their three precious transports. Although England did (and should) bleed for it.
Italy purchases a Fighter.

Italy collects 14 - 2 CO = 12. Yeah!
Mighty France is up.
I’m 99% sure about the carrier/cruiser from SZ97… please doublecheck.
-
It was VERY late at night and I had had a few beer, definetely an oversight on my part :P Yes, it was my intention to keep the cruiser. GOOD recovery with the Chitlins!
-
Also, I hate to break your ache breaky heart but… you are minus another 1 IPC for Sz72 aswell! I’ll adjust the charts and the map.
-
France attached.
Sz96 CLEARED.
Malta Taker!
-
Ugh, SZ72… correct you are. That’s the lowest Italy I’ve ever had I1, but I fight on! It’s gonna be a bloody bloodbath.

You don’t have to watch the whole thing. You get the idea!
Also - you sent me you and Jen… Germany later, after football.

Germany purchases 2 Subs, Destroyer, Fighter, 8 Infantry, 2 Armor, Mech Infantry = 70 IPCs. Let the rebuilding of the Luftwaffe begin!
Before we begin, I’m bringing a battleship and cruiser to SZ110 - will you scramble your fighter? Here’s the map with CM.
-
No scramble.

To combat.
SZ109 cleared.

Ah you bastard! You pulled it off!
-
Ummm… what? I need to paint those two German infantry, and keep them in the box for special occasions. Panzergranadiers, I guess.
I need to continuously be reminded that bad luck is only bad luck if comes at the end of the entire round. I’m actually up an infantry in Greece. Those are the little things that keep me in this game.
Germany collects 43 + 10 NO = 53 IPCs.
All things considered, I’m feeling ok. If you can imagine a shift to even odds in this game, you can imagine why I feel comfortable assaulting Russia. Like I said, I’m not saying I will defeat Russia, but I’ll lay out the template for how you can.
And Russia should be at 36… I adjusted it… what are those Imperial Marines doing in Siberia? :)
-
I know! I am a bastard! And here’s the map -
-
Didn’t I collect 37 on my turn??? So do I have 37 to spend now?
Also, can you comment on my game with Jen… you are going to LOL when you see the latest development…
-
Good point. I’ve had one extra shot of whiskey. You have 37!
I’ll check out your game with Jen.
Let it be known that I have nothing against her - I’m like Switzerland. Neutral. :)
-
Good, all I’m asking for is a sober point of view.
-
Good one!

What I see in that game is a massed German assault on Russia, without the benefit of an Atlantic fleet. You alreadt taking Norway is a big deal. If I were her, I wouldn’t let Germany near Norway.
You set up your Russian defense almost exactly the way I do - pulling forces down into Belarus to be able to hit multiple locations - mechanized forces behind ther lines.
This game will depend upon her ability to utilize her mech forces with Germany, and your ability to create dead zones with Russia and create a mobile defense. Since she is already being hit in the Atlantic wall, my first instinct is that you have the advantage.
And for our game, I’m under no illusions that I’m in a good position - just that considering my German opener, I’m doing ok.
