2/3 AAA hits in Caro. That stung :-P

FMErwinRommel

The AA has been good to me the past few turns. I’ve been busy following the history of your allied moves and thinking about Jpn retaking the Carolines. I left the Jpn fighter there to stop any minor/unsupported invasion. The Carolines could be a major fleet battle and thus decisive. ANZ could reinforce the U.S. fleet and then Jpn would have to up the ante, or pass. Yun is unique because of the China rules. FIC is off limits and a Chinese move east/NE without India, would open up an opportunity for Jpn to attack. Brits from Mideast finally coming to the defense of India and taking pressure off of Italy.

The battle in Rostov went my way and now Ger can blitz into the Cau and/or Stalingrad. It’s nice not having Italy pressured. Even tho it has no tt’s, it built fighters for flex instead of defensive land units. I’m going to work or run outside. I’ll check back in periodically if you need battle orders for ANZ vs Jpn. I won’t take Ger turn for a while, lots of tough decisions.

Will be interesting to see how you split your German army among going north, bryansk, Vol, and Cauc or if you will keep it largely intact.

FMErwinRommel

Norway was the softest target, Ger unable to counter. Plus, can rescue Rus from the north, while Brit rescues from the south with ground and air. Also, troops in Nor can reload to attack the continent. Ger has the cash to build in Ger and Rus. Cash from taking Cau and maybe Stalin (even if it’s just a token force), will offset lost cash from Nor and that N.O. But Ger doesn’t have enough strength around Lenin to take back Nor and the Allies have heavy air support. It’s low 40’s outside, sun feels warm but light breeze chill factor offsets it. Got to get out of the house for a while.

FMErwinRommel

I’m included to roll the dice and have Jpn attempt its goal of sinking the U.S. fleet in one big, decisive sea battle. Lately, I read about the Jpn strategy. Pearl Harbor was their attempt for a decisive battle, but the shallow water meant that much of the damaged U.S. fleet could be repaired and refloated. So the Jpn planned Midway to be a deep water/open water battle that the U.S. fleet could not repair. What are your thoughts ABH about the U.S. fleet’s invading Carolines and exposing itself; and a Jpn counterattack? My reasoning is that if Jpn doesn’t attack, it would have to move the Phil fleet to cover the homeland, thereby leaving Phil open to attack, but then Jpn could counterattack there.

2 fighters intercept strat bomb raid by 4 bombers and 2 escorts on Mos?

Colt45554

No, thanks

I hope the men on the AA guns open their eyes this time… otherwise Stalin will expand his military purge :x

FMErwinRommel

One AA hit, but this time my bombers had their eyes closed. Only 11 damage and I lost a 12 PU bomber. At least my ill-advised bombing raids on Ukr and Novg previously were low dice. But I still could have used the cash wasted on repairs. Your ground troops didn’t do as well. Stalingrad fell quickly and I will get extra 17 PUs from terr and N.O.s. It won’t last more than this turn, but it will cost you to take them back.

Gone for the night again

FMErwinRommel

Have fun. I wanted to put a mech in Arch, but assumed you had no better use for your planes than to support a mobile unit there. I didn’t want to leave the valuable Ita tank alone, so added an inf. Was surprised to see the show of force from planes without ground support. I should have put the mech in Arch, so your plane(s) would have gone there instead of taking out the valuable Ita tank. I considered moving the army to Ros and thought you would follow and combine in Tam. But if you had gone to Bry, then I would of had to retreat to Ukr and you could have caught and destroyed me. I didn’t think I should go to Cau and have you send a small army towards almost undefended E. Euro. I will have to strat bomb Rus again and hope I roll like the first time and not this past turn. I’ll be interested to see if you wait to take back Cau or let the Brits take it and you lose the N.O.

Colt45554

So many choices as UK. Do i send figs to protect vs SBR; do i try to clear cauc; or do i send figs to help india? UK is one of the hardest powers to play IMO because they have so much great position but not enough money to spend effectively in Med, London, and Persia. Hard to decide where to go.
