Savegame

As I stated when Ger sank the U.S. fleet but took higher than expected casualties, including most planes; that having to rebuild my air force negated the victory. The axis are stalled and the U.S. has so much cash to spread around wherever it wants. Ger has to defend Europe from potential amphib invasion and support Italy in the Med. So despite greater income than Russia, Ger can’t produce more troops than Russia. On the other hand, the U.S. hasn’t sent fighters to Moscow and UK hasn’t sent more than 1 infantry. The trick is making U.S. builds usable quickly. Bombers seem to work, under current circumstances. If Ger was about to take Moscow, then fighters would have been better.

The Italians were depleted from the prior turn and the Germans would have to send 2 troops to Caucasus to ensure getting it. The cash would be nice, but Russia could just retake it. Bomber support is going elsewhere. Ukraine was contested and now secured for building, so Italy took it, so it wouldn’t have to send new mech from Italy. Germany hasn’t had enough cash to exceed current capacity in W. Ger. Altho, could have built artillery in Ukr.

Intercept with 4 fighters in Moscow?
Germans bombing with 2 bombers & 3 fighter escorts.

The ANZ fighter evens the odds, but I’m willing to gamble and it won’t stop the bombing raid.
My other bomber is bombing Volg

Forgot scramble fighter in Scotland?
Attacking UK sub with Ger sub, fighter and bomber

No air combat hits, but AA fire hit 1 bomber & the other only did 4 damage. Last turn, my 5 bombers gave 32 or 33 damage, limited to 20. Bombing in Volg did max damage. Both your ships around UK gave hits, which hurts my fleet. But transport in sz80 was sunk

Be thinking of OOL
Now I know why you had blockers last turn. Couldn’t believe I had such an advantage. You can counterattack with planes, but that will cost you too.
