@miamiumike:

Yeah, well - this is a common issue in my games. As the Axis, I get off to a good start and then take too long to finish off the Allies. I still need Moscow I suppose. I hope to squeeze them down here in short order…

Well, after this game I’ll give you some advice if you want it. But not before this game’s been decided one way or the other.

Triplea doesn’t roll sub combat correctly and will roll your subs first, regardless of the destroyer I have present in sz92. And that could impact your casualty choices. So I’ll roll it manually here.

Rolls: 1@2 3@3; Total Hits: 21@2: (5)3@3: (2, 5, 3)

I got two hits, do you want to save the dd or a sub?

Defender dice

Rolls: 2@1 1@2; Total Hits: 12@1: (4, 5)1@2: (1)

I lose my dd and to finish it all off (hopefully)

Rolls: 3@3; Total Hits: 23@3: (6, 3, 2)

D
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 11@2: (2)

I’ll edit the map if needed to reflect you losing all the dudes in sz92 and me down a dd and fighter.

I ended up editing out a fighter from EUS. I’d have sent him to Gibraltar anyway and it wouldn’t let me edit him from sz92 after that battle. And I was too lazy to turn the edit back off, wait until I started placing, and then edit a fighter out. It also helped me figure out what I needed to move to sz112 to make sure your Luttwaffe didn’t nail me.
