Now that I think about it some more … France could move a cruiser to SZ91 and reduce Germany’s odds of sinking the US transports to 50% … I probably shouldn’t have said anything  :lol:

Actually, that makes only a 33% chance to sink both the cruisers and the transports.

Western Europe is crazy complex because we have 4-5 powers at work.

Alright, this is the same as the map I just posted except that I also NCM’d 2 fighters from SITA to Western Germany.

And that last is final.  I’m not especially happy with it, but I will drive myself crazy running the odds on 1-2 punch battles all over Western Europe and trying to defend everywhere.

I assumed you would want a UK fighter survivor on SFR rather than a French fighter, but please change if I was wrong.

It seems to be fine.

When I used EDIT to adjust Italian NCM on their last turn I accidentally removed fighters and added them back as strategic bombers (the Italian ones don’t look strategic bomber-y enough!).  I can fix that on Japan’s turn, but can I assume their being on the map erroneously did not affect ANZAC, French, or Russian decisions?

Also, I apologize for being slow with these turns.  While the Axis will get two significant capitol sacks, they’re still significantly outnumbered on both sides of the world (especially in naval units).  With the Pacific in particular, it looks impossible with China almost to the coast, strategic bombers in Sri Lanka (I still hate them!), and an big fleet off the Caroline Islands.
