What a mess. That is definitely the worst round of attacking I’ve ever had. Your single units hit in all 7 battles and even hit twice apiece in two, preventing capture! I battle calced my moscow army for the counter-attack a couple times each time i pulled a mech away to Caucasus but forgot on the last one to minus infantry from the hits from 8 russian moscow inf. They also hit above average and scored four, shocker  :roll:

I needed an AA hit. Max D, destroy art before mech except keep one art alive. Tanks last of course

@FMErwinRommel:

Why did Ger build airbase in Yugo?  I know you want figs to scramble for Ita sea, but N Italy is better, as it covers 2 sz and flex for shuttling between Ger and Ita.  If your figs couldn’t reach Italy this past turn, that was an expensive build for a one-time situation.

With what Italian money could i afford that??

@FMErwinRommel:

While the amazing dice favored the Allies across the board on Ger turn, it didn’t affect the situation on Rus counterattack on Mos.  A low luck dice on Mos would have saved Ger just 1 inf in the attack on Mos.  It was the size of the Ger move on Cau that gave Rus a slight advantage.  W/o Ger planes being able to land with the army, even that large army was vulnerable.

Umm, no. In LL that you referenced, you have an average of 5.00 units remaining and a +52 TUV swing. I would retake russia two turns later after killing brit blocker. Don’t understate the dice on this round when it’s this massive of a difference.
