@Gamerman01:
Hindsight is 20/20, right?
I guess, but you’d think that 65% of holding a territory is pretty good. Plus if his attack failed, as it should’ve, the Italian fleet would’ve been destroyed etc. So it was a risky strike that he claimed was to prepare the zone for a german airblitz w/1ftr 2 bombers to clear the zone. But I could restack no to mention build out of the mic I put there UK1.
He basically was going all in on taking Egypt, willing to sacrifice the Italian navy, Luftwaffe etc, which is fine. Maybe he could have done it, maybe not, but it SHOULD have been costly. But in any event, he managed to just walk in on a lucky roll, throwing the UK into total disarray.
It’s like BSD came to lay siege to my strong fort, but one of my guys left the side door swinging open and he walked in and stabbed all my guys in the back…. :-P
