Third time is starting off as an unlucky charm!  This is the first time that I haven’t taken Paris on T1, even tho battle calc was 98% and I used about the same attack force as usual.  Fra out-rolled all 5 die-rounds, rolling 50% on the 1st and 2nd rounds.  I had to continue, since the consequences of defeat were too dire; and my odds, tho decreasing, were never negative.  This is a significant drawback.  Round 1: Ger 2/17 attack 34 pts; Fra 6/12 defense 21 pts.  R2: Ger 4/11 att 28 pts: Fra 5/10 def 24 pts.  R3: Ger 2/6 att 19; Fra 2/6 def 16.  R4: Ger 2/4 att 13; Fra 2/4 def 12.  R5: Ger 0/2 att 7; Fra 2/2 def 7.  I still had a 50/50 chance on the last round.  SZ110 round 1: Ger 3/8 attack 26; Bri 3/3 defense 10.  Won’t be available again until late Sat eve.

Lately, I stopped trying to take all of Fra by Ger on T1 in Euro 40, not because of Vichy, but because it stretches Ger too thin and it gives Ita the terr and cash.

I agree, Ger lost about 50 TUV more than normal, 5 tanks, a plane and several other land units. Bri and Fra can disrupt things even more.  The capture capital cash will be delayed.  What do you want to do Colt?  I guess I wasn’t meant to play the Axis, 3 strikes and I’m out.

I like the idea of a Punic wars game, but just Rome vs Carthage, not an ancient world war.  I like Global BM.  How about I redo this game, same moves for Ger?

Restarted game from a saved game after combat move, so same game # but different battle results.  Won Paris and no planes lost in sea battles, but Yugo killed all Ger inf.
