1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

Certainly.  Will take my turn late this eve.  PP: just when I realized that I could afford to move ftrs from Iraq > Egypt for intercepting, you realized that you could build an IC in Cau.  I shouldn’t have put so many ftrs in Egypt, since I knew you would move art and AA from Stalin into the IC.  But I finally built up TBs to pair with ftrs, so they could attack at 4 like bombers.  I didn’t expect, or was hoping that you wouldn’t put mobile units in with the art and AA.  And the naval arms race picks up in the north sea.

7 bombers raid Brit and no AA hits!  And no ships returned fire in Atlantic.  U.S. at first put only ftrs in Lon.  Then TB for added offense against Ger fleet North Sea.  Then back to ftrs when realized that if Ger tried Searching Lion, I would need lots of interceptors to challenge bombers and escorts from cv’s.  I almost had enough.  Single ANZ bomber hit by AA last turn and many single Amer bombers in Russia were hit by AA.  Yet Ger inflicts 26 damage at no cost from AA.  I am not at home until tomorrow eve to take my turn.

I see Japan made the dd transfer from sz6>sz35 that I forgot to make for Witt as requested the prior turn.  Sorry, glad that you remembered.

Losey dice rolling again.  Used 5 U.S. bombers to take out 3 Ger mech on first round, but only hit 2.  Surviving mech hit a bomber on second round.  That’s 5 chances at 4 vs 3 chances at 2, and I lose double the TUV.  But when I attack a solo Italian dd, 5 of 8 planes hit.  Also, 2 of the 3 bombing raids only rolled 1, so damage of only 3 per IC.  Then, Brit attack 2 Ger subs with dd, sub and ftr.  That’s 3 dice with total attack of 7 vs 2 dice with total defense of 2.  Subs, defending at 1, rolled snake eyes and sank Brit dd and sub (Ger subs also sank).  At least Jpn is pushed out of Man and China has regained all of its terr.

The game is indeed slowly shifting in my favor.  It would have shifted more if the Jpn in Borneo hadn’t made a Banzai charge and died to a man sacrificing themselves and killing the ANZ invaders.  Emperor Hirohito expressed his pride in them by naming car brands after Corporal Toyoda and Sargent Honda.  Allied income production now exceeds Axis by 50 P.U. a turn.  The loss of the 5 point Brit N.O. hurts.  Italy and ANZ have similar income and unit stats.
