Duh…just realized that my Brit planes couldn’t make it to Egypt which in turn was a wasted US turn.  Just dice whipped there anyway.

I wanna still play on but with that blunder along with the France cash lotto I gave you I think its time to stop this one.  This being one of my earlier games, I definitely learned from my mistakes.  Without those 2 blunders Allies would be in very good shape.

I’m thinking for the Med, I like the Tobruk move, with naval blockers, build the IC in Egypt right away and send aircraft to protect it from Med and India maybe.  This should solidify Cairo for a while.  US protects Hawaii and Australia and maybe just goes all Europe from round 3 on.  18inf to Korea, US fighter shuck to Moscow.  I see a good allied strategy coming together here.  Just gotta hone it.

Good game, we’ll league it up next time- got 7 other games going now. :-)

I’ll take U.S. and I’ll check what happens w/ Russia because I think my strat is not up to the point where it’s good yet.

@Vance:

OK Germany purchase was 1 minor and 4 artillery.  Scramble 109 or z110?

I will scramble 1ftr fm Scotland to z109 and all 3 ftrs from England in z110

I don’t like those moves, I think you are going to lose a lot of planes.  Looks like your banking everything on the Minor IC and some SS kills.  Interesting to see.

Ok hold on, now that you have a BB coming, that may change things.  I’ll wait til you get things straightened out first.  Show me the map, then I’ll decide what and what not to scramble.

Yeah I’m still gonna go for it to knock out some planes- all 3ftr in Eng to z110 and Scotland ftr to z109

Right, plus if I roll well I could win the darn thing, hopefully take down planes.  That’s less planes on the Eastern Front and planes are hard for Germany to replace.  They really can’t afford to “trade” planes with the Allies.

Right, no Sealion threat so I gotta do it, also there are no SS for fodder.  No Taranto, so I’ll settle for Tobruk again- I can live with that I think.

Yeah that’s about odds for z110.  Germany lost 5 planes for my 3 planes- definitely worth the scramble.

Usually is you’re gonna attack z110 you gotta have the SS for fodder. 
Without the threat of serious air strikes there are so many things I can do and not worry about like…

Take Norway or Denmark to be annoying b/c there are no scramblers.
Russia feels a lot better now that there is not a serious air cover for your land units…he can match land unit for land unit now.
The British navy can rebuild quickly with ease despite your 3SS and 2bmrs available for the counter.

I do like the Romanian IC- it might make the push faster now that the north and south will be threatened.  Its too bad you don’t have your aircraft though.  A G2 or G3 Barbarossa push would be very good with this I think- fast and furious.

Are you gonna combo this with a J1 gambit???  That might pretty devistating.
