FMERommel (Axis) vs Desert Admiral (Allies+16)

I clearly see Taranto in the Allied bid.  I personally wouldn’t do Taranto without 2 bid builds such as yours.  GL and I hope that I’m lucky in my first league game.

Game long Soviet-Japanese peace pact?  Ha, ha.  That would be improbable in a 2-player game.

I took more naval hits than expected from all 3 sea battles. Sank my BB rather than lose a plane, since it would be sunk on Brit turn anyway.  Allies rolled above average in EngCha, so I lost a plane in addition to my 2 subs.  Chose a TB, since one would have had to land in Hol.  But made up for it in France, which rolled poorly.  So I had more ground units left than expected.  Yugo went well, killed all but one, so was able to retreat forward and leave it to Italy.  Never tried this before.

I knew what I wanted to move and where for the most part.  But making sure every unit was in position for next turn was time consuming.  The computer often refuses to load and move tt’s where I want them if more than 1 tt in a sz.  I should have loaded and moved tt in sz6 to target, before moving another tt into sz6.  Had to undo move to sz6 and its payload for Korea, in order to get the correct units to Carol.  Yunnan battle went well, no losses.  Hunan made up for it with both inf hitting.  Brit is fun to play, looking forward to your moves.
