    Tiebreaker? We’re one each IIRC.

    @simon33:

    But I could have bought more subs and one DD might not have made the difference to defending in SZ98. Hold in the Red Sea? I could have put down a blocker in SZ98 then.

    I could have moved the fleet to sea zone 98, dropped two DDs there, then dropped a CV and two figs the next turn – no amount of money Italy spent at that point would have helped.

    @simon33:

    One thing I learnt from this game is that you can be better off holding off on the Moscow assault to retake Norway. Flying fighters to Moscow is a real problem for Germany.

    In my opinion, you actually spent far too much effort trying to reconquer Norway. If you had poured those resources into killing Moscow, especially after my serious blunder on R3 (or 4 if it was 4), you probably would have won. True, you would have lost Finland, but it would have taken me several turns to push you out of Leningrad. By that time you could have destroyed the Russian resistance. Go back at any point and add the mechs and artillery you had in Finland to your attack on Moscow – you would have easily won the battle. Then you would have been fighting a two front war instead of a three front war.

    We can, but it will have to wait til after Chrismas before I can actually start.

    Yeah, I thought I had enough to retake Norway but you kept reinforcing more than I expected. Same problem in Moscow.
