Tinydictator: First Blood (Axis)

Rule question: Can I send a Tac only as an escort on a strategic bombing run, i.e. does he need to bomb a facility after dogfight or can he simply stay in the airspace? (logically, this should be possible)

very ballsy to send your last fighter off… but I guess once you decide to turn on the pressure, you’d better be consistent about it.

hm, don’t you want to roll with your 2 French Infs before you kill me in Alg?

ok, Germany 3 then.

Convoy raid (sz125):
Rolls: 2@3; Total Hits: 12@3: (3, 5)

Collect: 28 + 50 + 20 - 3 = 95 IPC

yeah baby!

actually, no convoy raid in sz125, as Germany is still in peace with Russia (Though I assume that now Stalin will let drop this sharade of peacefulness of his)

so Germany 98 IPC.

And actually ANZAC earns 21+6 (they have both of their NOs)

Map with updated income and NOs attached.

another correction: the sub from sz112 does not go to sz91, it stays where it is.

First Blood (Germany3).AAM

45 for Russia is not bad either, but having Finland for 1 or 2 turns is not going to save your bolshevik ass. Btw I do not need to get to Moscow as long as I keep London and Egypt.

Oh and you get thoroughly convoy raided in Korea:

Wow, that is some sorry dice-rolling! I roll with 16 in DGu and hit NONE, and I roll with 17 in Hawaii and hit one…

I assume you take the hit in Hawaii on the AA.

Cha retreats.

1 Ftr gets shot down in Yun. I’ll need to know your OOL for Yun.
