@simon33 Yeah, the game is going to get a lot more interesting soon. I probably should have run from Moscow, but my initial battle estimate was very close to TUV zero slightly negative. I ran it a few more times now and it is all over the map -7 to +27 (for attacker). You should win Moscow, but I guess we’ll find out how much you win.

Probably max D, but I don’t want to assume here, OOL?

@Booper Good to hear, welcome to the club!

@FranceNeedsMorePower no, it’s a case by case basis, particularly when aircraft carriers are operating where the planes can or cannot land. Your planes can land therefore carrier hits are not as useful.

@Avner I’ve played several aggressive games with the Italians, and each time everything seems to be going well. Then one bad attack and the Italians are vulnerable.
