Germany’s odds on G9 if they go all in are 39%. The Italians get 2-3 hits on average in a suicidal attack, and that only pushes the odds to 50% or a little better. I don’t think that is worth the risk. A loss is game ending, and in the event of a win, the effort opens up the rest of Europe to the Allies. But still, we should have been considering the possibility of the Italians going in first.

Think I did. Silently. A reason to access so much air.

Italy 7: Is my capitol safe? Yes. The US has a 6 infantry, 1 artillery, 2 fighters and 1 bomber attack plus a cruiser bombard followed by a UK 2 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 armor, 7 fighters and 1 tactical bomber attack plus a 3 cruiser and battleship bombard. Luckily UK has a lot of planes but not a lot of ground troops and US has a lot of ground troops but not a lot of planes. So realistically Italy has enough to hold already since I doubt the Allies would squander their Allied air force just to take out Rome. Even with no reinforcements and an all-out US sacrifice the Allies have about a 60% chance of taking it. Why do that when Italy is already out of the game? So, I can use my two planes elsewhere if I want and still be safe with a new build. The main problem is anything in Northern Italy is dead so can only build 3 units. That will not be a problem next Turn since Italy is going to be broke anyway so may save some money.
So, what to do? The Italian fleet is dead therefore do I attack SZ92 to get the most bang for my buck? 31% chance but I lose both planes and on average kill 5 units. That means most likely, SS, 2 DD, CA, CV with both fighters and both transports surviving. But without that I probably kill just a couple of subs when he attacks me. So, is it worth a fighter and a bomber to on average kill $50 instead of $12 with the hope of the lucky 30% winner take all? Maybe…
Greece is the only other target. A mere 13% chance there and most likely I am not even killing a plane. Since Germany has no ground troops nearby even a strafe is useless especially since the French are going to land 2 infantry there after the Italian attack. And with no Italians there the Allies will break out. Nope – not Greece.
So SZ92 or nothing. If I do nothing can I hold Bulgaria? Probably. US has no real attack and the UK attack is again mostly planes. So, if I hold Bulgaria then that minimizes the southern threat. That is good but then I lose the Italian fleet on the cheap. So, the comparison is try and kill a few more ships on the sea that I have already lost or try and protect land that I still own. Protecting land seems the better way to go. Bye-bye Italian Navy.
In Northern Africa make sure the Allies do not clear off the Italian ground troops so Russia can claim Tobruk and Libya. Already Russia is getting too much money from Africa. Italy did not do their job this game. Got too cocky early on with all that money and did not protect its territories the way it should have. Costing the Axis now. Bad, bad Italy.

The suggested turn from Franz.
No dice rolled except the sub-bug, so carried out all of it. Will hold a few days before finalizing in order to welcome comments.
-
@trulpenplay Do you want to take some of those ANZAC fighters off of the US carrier? At some point you might want the additional offensive power of having the USA fighters.
-
Also, do you want to grab Celebes this round? It seems worth it to exchange equal value of ANZAC and Japan.
Perhaps a few ANZAC fighters in Queensland can be used to take out Japanese destroyer which is used to kill your sub.
-
They are quite nice to have there. Means the aussie figs have a reach of up to 7 moves. Easier to take fortified islands, killing off stray trannies etc.
-
My only suggestion would be to change the buy to include a transport for ANZAC. Maybe 2 SS + tran or tran+inf+ftr. It keeps pressure on J to defend DEI plus whatever else the Caroline group wants to attack.
-
Think I’ll change the purchase and include a tr.
Might actually be a good idea to take Celebes.
-
Except that it isn’t reachable. The tr was moving out from z62.

A bit later I might cut it down to 2 aussie figs only.
-
Consider the turn finalized.
-
So is this game dead, or hibernating for the winter?
-
I believe unfortunately the former.
-
It’s a pity that it stopped.
Would it be possible to make another one? BM3 or maybe on PTV?

There’s no patent in play, so feel free. I can take the reins, if you want.

@trulpen the confrontation was with andrew but I don’t know if he has time to continue or resume
if it can also interest others … maybe.
