I didn’t realize how bad a shape the Euro Axis are in until I did Italy’s turn.  Ger lost too many planes trying to shore up Italy; and the collapse of Italian Africa and lack of threat to homeland, has allowed Brit to send air andl land units into Russia.  Now I know how Dawg felt as Ger in our first team game.

I know Dawg was upset.  In the future, I will consult my allies.

One battle lopsided my way, one your way.  Attacked Smol with 9 units attack power of 26 vs your 6 units defense power of 14:  Yet, I rolled 3 hits, you rolled 4 hits.  I had hoped to kill most inf and retreat after first round; rather than capture and leave too many units there.  In Novg, I made 7 of 8 hits (over kill) and you made 0 of 4.

Stand my ground, fight

Another lopsided set of dice rolls.  I rolled 6 of 7 against Shan, but there were only 2 defenders and they both hit.  So I lost both land units and didn’t take Shan.  But in Burma, I rolled 0 for 4 with power of 12, while the sole defender hit my only land unit.  So I didn’t take that either.  But the Chinese lost and Allied blockers sank without hitting me.    So I won 2 battles with excess units, but failed to take 2 terr because I lost all my land units.  It seems like there are too many lopsided battles.  Would like to have a general who could give some bonus to a more important battle.
