    About a 33% chance you take Moscow. Probably your only chance to do so, too.

    Last game as Axis I gambled with poor odds against Mos and lost.  So this time, I tried putting all into Novo N.O.  I can’t believe that by T6, the Brits could put 10 air and 10 ground into/available to Rus.  Ger can’t strat bomb Mos because of all the Allied figs.

    Nuts, I thought my subs and scrambled figs would overpower the Bri amphib.  But I overlooked that Bri can ignore subs and go beyond and also that the Bri bombers can land where USA took over.  Otherwise, I would have loaded up Ger

    I concede.  Ger put more ground units into Rus and attacked 1 turn earlier. But Bri strangled Ita and was free to build ICs and rush air and ground units to save Rus by T6, much earlier than I’ve seen before and in significant numbers.  Bri fleet to Gib & airport. and consolidate Egypt and pick off isolated Ita in Africa, seems to be unstoppable, ideal opening.  Bri must commit to protecting Gib with figs.  Ita needs PUs from S. Fra, but Ger has the resources to build fleet in S. Fra, altho it would require a big investment.  Forum discussions suggest Ger build IC in Rom.  Rus key is concentrate in Bry  Novg is Ger N.O., but it’s far from the rest of Rus  Ukr is 2 spaces from Moscow, Staingrad and Cau, so Ger must take it to build & threaten multiple locations at once.  Ita N.O.s offer lots of potential, but it’s limited initial PUs and vulnerability to Bri attack, and inability to supplement army in Africa, means a good Bri strategy always seems to win.
