@trulpen 2 more in Syria is probably enough as you can build the rest on subsequent turns. I’m thinking though that your units will be a bit more tied to the mid east because of the Germans fast movers. In which case, at the moment, 4 inf in Iraq are as good as in Persia.

AA fire in Germany : : -0,17
I’m thinking 2 art to Syria now, in order to beef up the brits in Greece. They will be transported along with the 2 cyprian inf.
Then UK may build 3 inf in Cairo next turn and will have 2 more that are already there. Also, mechs are coming up from SA which may complement the purpose if need be.
Therefore I’m thinking all 17 inf going east to Persia, keeping the option open for a full thrust towards Calcutta, depending how the north plays out.
Nice to see the Italian income finally reduced to a small value. I will be interested to see if Germany focuses on attacking Moscow, the Middle East, Greece, or Sweden. So many areas in trouble and only resources to focus on one at a time.
@trulpen Is moscow on the roadmap anytime soon? I don’t see that Germany+Italy can overcome the stalemate on the Eastern Front unless they get their income up. The only way to get that up is to reclaim Norway. The Med is lost.
I would attack Finland with ground troops and strafe Norway with the air force in the hope of getting lucky on G8. Perhaps send 18 mechs towards Greece that can be backed up with additional plane build. He needs to avoid the meat grinder in the Middle East.
I reran the numbers and he actually could capture Moscow on G9 if he goes all out next round in preparation. He likely wouldn’t lose any of his air force during the raid, although insufficient ground units would exist to follow up for a run towards Egypt unless the dice heavily favor him.
The final push to the capitol would leave a big gap in the other fronts that the Allies would have three rounds to exploit. You would have room to establish a third beachhead in S France. I probably would take the gamble if I were Axis as there are few options to regain income now unless Moscow falls ASAP.
@trulpen depending exactly on how Italy tries to help out, there is about a 60% chance of capturing Moscow. Many of those statistical victories are Pyrrhic with too few ground units to continue protecting the Eastern Front from a UK counter-push. I would give him about a 30% chance to win Moscow and still have 10-20 tanks left to continue expansion towards the Middle East.
G9 is his most likely moment to capture Moscow until perhaps G14. I see a continued growth in allied defenses there as Russia adds another 10 infantry/turn and UK+USA can probably get another 4 fighters there / round. There is no way that Germany can devote another 32 attack points/round of additional forces there while trading off units in Scandinavia, the Balkans, and the Caucuses.
Hence his only choices for victory is a G9 desperation assault or a long-game economic win. In such a case the fastest way to gain income would be recapturing Scandinavia, capturing and holding Caucuses, and conquering China. The trifecta is likely required if he wants to make progress in unit value.
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.
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.
