Try out this UHD map with France Going First as a balancing mechanic for G40i. Let me know what you think.
Interesting, thought you’d go for Spain. I think not taking Spain is going to bite you in the butt.

France will NCM after Italy like this:
IF italy can open sz104, france will move 1CA there and the DD in sz91.
I forgot to delete your transport in sz4, take care of it during your turn please.
What about the British in Caucasus? Are they defending the Turks or moving at all?
oh, it just was not declared…never mind
Didn’t I move them all in Turkey? That was my plan
Okay, just because you declared that you were going to put France in the path of danger, and I like the idea of not allowing them to exist anymore (can’t can open Italy) I was going to attack SZ 104.
I was not going too…so I won’t.
Italy:
Buy(36)
Combat Moves:
8 Infantry, 4 Artillery, 2 Mechanized Infantry, 5 Armor from Iraq to Turkey
Infantry from N. Persia to Caucasus
2 Strategics from Bulgaria to Turkey
Infantry from Algeria to Spain - Activate Neutral
Assuming OOL in Turkey is like a normal fight, except the British equipment dies first.

Yes, but I didnt see it in your typed move. I got them there.
Well, both one under expected (or two for attacker, if you’re an optimist.)

Yeah I made wrong calculations with turkey’s def damn… this will hurt unfortunately.
Land bombers in Bulgaria (if you built an airbase for Volgograd that you forgot to place, I want to land these bombers elsewhere and move the Italian armies as well.)
Fleet retreat to N. Italy
2 Infantry from Algeria to N. Italy
Units from Egypt to Jordan - of course

2 Infantry, 2 Fighters, Tactical, 2 Strategics to Baltic States
Infantry from Norway to Sweeden - Activate Neutral
Destroyer, 3 Fighters, 2 Tactical Bombers to SZ 104
Destroyer, 2 Fighters, Tactical Bomber to SZ 109
(if the French go there, I may have to adjust this attack, odds are they went if Italy cleared the American ship, but since they did not, they go to the Americans in SZ 91.)
Combat:
Naval Base:
Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (4)

Really…thought they were political prisoners. My bad.
Damage:
Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (1)
Yay…one damage… Think that shuts down the base, however. I know Larry was talking about all or nothing on bases…

Shoulda brought 3 infantry…misread the number of defenders…well, here’s to hoping you dont get 100% accuracy!
The naval base shuts down when you do 3+ dmgs
Build: Infantry, Airbase in W. France
Build: Infantry in S. France
Build: 3 Infantry in England
Build: 10 Infantry in Germany
Build: 2 Destroyers in SZ 105
Collect: 5 IPC Caucasus, 5 IPC Novgorod, 5 IPC Sweeden, 5 IPC Egypt, 57 IPC TT - 0 IPC Convoy Damage = 77 IPC
Of course, the French cannot attack SZ 104. If the French go there, the attack will shift and I’ll give up hitting the submarine in SZ 109 so I can have all the planes in SZ 104.
You know our turn maps are listed at 9, but our game turns just started 10?

Yea, that’s what I was thinking, but I know the talk had shifted…glad I left the destroyer in SZ 92 now. I did not want to risk a strategic for a mere navy base, even though it would have guarenteed the base be closed…
OOL in Spain: Italians, then Germans.
I saw what I wrote in LH forums, and so I replyed accodingly.
