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

Ger does have almost twice the units and more than twice the TUV. Japan has done a better job getting to Rus than in our team game. But I think 71 P.U. should be enough to repair and build a sizable Rus force. And there are 16 American and 13 Brit planes in Rus. So I don’t see a Ger march on Moscow. Especially now that the U.S. finally built an I.C. in Norway. I will take my turn tomorrow eve.

Savegame

As you can see by the dice stats, the Italians rolled 3 hits under. One under on round 1 and 2 under on round 2. I only had a 1/3 chance of winning, but I expected to drastically weaken the U.S. for Ger to follow up. I don’t think the Euro axis have won a major single battle with positive TUV. Ger has just under a breakeven chance to finish off the U.S. I think you got complacent, not adding any new units to Gre.

You’ve been duplicate posting lately. Same post, almost simultaneously. The Euro Axis need good dice more than Japan does. They can’t afford to continue losing.

Ger dice differential was -4 and U.S. +1.5. Ger rolled below and U.S. above. I had no chance of winning, so I retreated while I still had strong units. Ger attacked Arch with twice the units and twice the power and missed completely for 2 rounds. This is a drag.
