It’s frustrating playing Italy. Even tho Ger destroyed remaining Bri fleet in Med, Bri air and ships reappear. Ita fleet could amph to Mid East and withstand air attack from Egypt. But the Indian fleet combined with the Egypt air would have sunk the Ita. And the 4 land units would not have gained much, but would have been surrounded. The Ita army in Africa can be attacked from mobile units from the south, planes from Egypt, and amphib from the coast. They can’t be reinforced. Global 40 with bidding would be even worse. At least Ita got enough cash to build on T3.

Ha, that will teach you frogs to mess with the Italian navy.

Arthur Bomber Harris

I swear that the dice are always cursed for the Frenchies.

FMErwinRommel

Colt, didn’t the Paris AA roll snake eyes once when you were Ger? On another dice item, a few days back you said you lost a 98/99% battle. What was that?

Colt45554

Umm, maybe on that paris thing. Can’t remember. I lost in Egypt as Italy a 99%er vs questioneer then had to abandon a 100% attack on Shadow’s egypt after missing all dice on two rounds.

Colt45554

And from how much effort you see me putting in each game into egypt, it’s clear that i value it more than any other non-capital terr.

FMErwinRommel

Sorry for the delay, but I’ve decided to attack Rus this turn. Had to work out the details

FMErwinRommel

I’m attacking Rus sub in sz109 with 2 Ger subs. Game asks for scrambling, Why, planes can’t hit subs without a dd? I can try scramble and see what it does, or just say no scramble. Please advise

Colt45554

if neither side has a dd, theres no scramble. it automatically asks that but they wouldnt make a difference. i’ll submerge the sub anyway, so no combat will happen

FMErwinRommel

Oh, I forgot you can submerge. Okay.

I always wanted the Euro Axis to sail down to sub-sahara Africa and run wild, taking easy pickings. Prior 2 games I DOW too soon on U.S.A. Like the Nazis in Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark. :)
While I was at it, I decided to shake things up and include some rouge warships. Just to make this game as much fun as our Euro games.
