If G does significantly move south to help the Italians, the large landing force can pivot to Normandy if he moves too many guys. Either way we can gain and he is moving around in central Europe.
-
I am concerned about attempting a Normandy invasion at this time, however. It typically requires significant investment in London inf to reinforce, which pulls $$ from ME, which isn’t safe yet.
-
@surfer I’m tempted by Normandy as well because the fleet is better positioned and the us can start using a factory sooner. Plus some of the fleet can still end up in 92 since 110 is pretty safe. But I think the fleet should be safe. It’s quite a risk for Andrew to attack. Trulpen can land UK air on one carrier. They would still be in range of Moscow if needed because the us carrier can move them in range. If he is attacked by Italy he can take one air as casualty and land the French fighter. And UK fleet in 98 might be enough to pressure the med. I’m on my phone though so maybe I’m mis judging but I don’t think the risk to the fleet would be the reason not to go to Norway.

@farmboy I think the fleet should be safe by Norway to be clear
-
Ok, I did forget about the French ftr reinforcing after the Italians. So the battle is 75-25 for Axis, which I would agree is probably not what @AndrewAAGamer wants to bet the game on. But it is a concern…
He will probably just push ahead on the Russian fronts – which can be a real problem if he presses south into the ME. -
@surfer I remember checking the odds on the allied fleet in 112 and got around 12%. If I misjudged it if it really changes dramatically with an average Italian attack I would reconsider.
I am tempted by Normandy as well because one can still push into the med and simultaneously put threats on Italy (with UK). Going all in on the med might be tempting too. -
Normandie is nice, but Norway is better. If it can hold, which it should be able to. Axis, and especially Italy, has a very hard task of retaking Norway. The tactical benefit of that landing is simply awesome. Will keep G very much on their toes, looking back at home. If they neglect the defence, Berlin is screwed and the conquest of Moscow is arbitrary.
The Med will have enough pressure from the Cairo fleet. No need to make a pincer maneuver on Italy. They’ve already stated that they will not waste resources on fleet, except that des to scare off some subs, so it’s an easy match. It’s actually enough to just contain it for now, keeping threats in the Med alive.

A better buy?

Hmm, I really want some more subs. They will be very good for both pressuring kamikaze zones without risking kamikazes as well as convoy disruptions.

I’m rather satisfied with this purchase. Lets kick some japanese ass.
-
I want to sink the italian cr, but don’t see any good way of doing it. Perhaps with the UK, using the sub and a fig from London?
-
If UK puts 2 figs on a US carrier, G only has 12 % with an all-out air-strike + sub on the fleet in z112. I looked at it before and it’s the same figures. Pretty damn safe. Norway, here we come!

I think that my current game is tough, but nothing compared to this one!

That’s not at all what I get in my analysis. Did you miss the UK bs and des? Or some figs?

The suggestion for US. No dice rolled, so still changeable. What do you say?
Some alternatives are a) to build 1 inf less and bring the mech that attacked Tunisia to Norway instead, boosting the defence there, b) land two more US figs on the carriers by Marianas, waiting to land the aussie ones on the one of the other incoming carriers next turn, c) not keeping a des in z26, since it will hardly be needed against the attack of 1 sub, unless we’re super unlucky.
-
Think I will change b and c, but keep the inf and reinforcement move.
