13L wheatbeer (Axis) vs Rasmustb (Allies +12)

No worries and no rush.

Before I proceed with Italy, I just want to ask if you’re sure you want to drop men off in Iraq via those unguarded transports?

Italy can build an airbase for Egypt and take either Transjordan or Syria which would allow a German plane to sink both of them and land in either of those territories.

Ok doke

I may need OOL in Normandy shortly if you’ll be around.

need OOL normandy

Italians attack with 1 inf, 4 mech, 1 art and open with 2 hits (Allies have 1 aa, 2 inf, 1 mech)

I’m asking since Italy might retreat and whether or not the UK loses or saves its aa gun could make a difference to Germany.

@Rasmustb:

great

We definitely don’t need to count that as your reroll (unless you insist).

I apologize for interrupting the game again (and if you prefer I play no mercy, let me know), but two Japanese strategic bombers can reach SZ26 and land in Marshall Islands. This gives Japan 90% odds to sink a carrier, 2 transports, 2 infantry, a mech, and a tank.

If you want to buff that defense with an ANZAC fighter or something, let me know.
