@Sovietishcat:

I was sure you weren’t going to attack Yunnan, thought I had good odds for defense. Oh well, I got dice in Yunnan as well with uk lol. Think the game just swing back to axis - Moscow is very bridle, Germany now has good odds of winning, We will see, hopefully I get lots of AA hits  :-P

If you go back and load up the battle, I think it was around 75%~ chances for Japan. Not super good odds. I’m glad that dice was close to low luck. I did have to take a plane hit in order to close Yunnan. I didn’t want to do the stack in Szechwan to close the road.

Battle calc shows me 68-74%~ for a Moscow battle. Not sure if I can try my luck twice. Have to think about it.

I do notice in this game you chose to defend Moscow instead of going all out. If those US planes in China get to land in Moscow, it will probably give the Siberians enough time to make it to Moscow.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

triplea_42085_Ger5.tsvg

You have a scramble option in sz 110 (which I don’t think you’ll do).

Also, you have an intercept option for a bombing raid on Moscow…don’t think you will either, however, you’re game play is off script.

No Intercepts and scramble! What do you mean by off script?

What I mean is that you’re not doing your usual all in against Japan and trying to defend Moscow. Which I think is better for you. Especially if Moscow is delayed for about 3-4 turns.

@Sovietishcat:

Well recently you have build against my super KJF, so I thought I would change the strat and see how it goes !!

Might fair better. Japan is the weaker of my axis side when it comes to actually securing the victory cities. On the flip side, I have trouble when I have to defend with Germany.
