    I wanted to secure Algeria, since the fig was meant to land there. Norway thereby gets 2 aa, which is good against 5 german air. The units in northern Africa may be picked up by tr later.

    Norway most likely wont need a fig, but there’s only 60 % in defence with only the land units. G would probably lose a lot of air hitting it, but still, if dice are rotten it’s great for them. Could be worth a shot and just retreat the air if the first battle round isn’t sufficient. Therefore I will put one fig in Norway to make that kind of attack rather insane.

    Sorry, forgot about farmboy’s idea of putting the US sb in Scotland. It’s a good idea. Changed that. Now it should be final. Italy may go.

    Good Allied Turn. Going to Norway is the better option. While it alleviates pressure on Italy it removes the most money from Germany and allows a conduit to help Moscow. I also like moving the US fleet as you did as it puts pressure on Tokyo. Japan will be forced to move to the Philippines to counter. I also like moving the UK fleet back into the Med to endanger the Italian fleet and remove their NO. You have have moved in the right direction on two of your goals.; Hose Italy and Help Defend Moscow.

    Italy 4: Is my capital safe? Yes. UK has an infantry, artillery, 2 fighters plus bombard attack. I have enough already to be safe.

    So, the two decisions to make are 1) where are the Germans going against Russia to see how I may assist them and 2) what to do with the Italian Fleet versus the UK Med fleet off Egypt.

    Where are the Germans going against Russia? Bryansk or Rostov? I can move safely to either. Bryansk would allow a G6 attack while Rostov will allow me to trade Caucasus and Volgograd. A G6 attack has less than a 40% chance of success so that is off the table. Heading to Rostov then as long as Russia cannot move back to Bryansk. Nope they can’t as it would be 95% or better so Rostov it is. Germany will need the money what with Norway gone and trading Finland.

    What to do with the Italian Fleet versus the UK Med fleet off Egypt? Italy can attack at 40% and UK on average would have 2-3 units left which would be planes that must land and a cruiser probably, maybe a hit carrier. Germany only has 2 bombers to finish off the survivors. Most likely the surface ships could be removed with the loss of the entire Italian air and naval units. Not sure that is a good option. Or Italy could play defense and stay put with a build. If I move the fleet to SZ95 their planes are significantly reduced and the UK has a 67% chance of success and that assumes the carrier dies and thus the British planes splash. Better option.

    Funny how things look different after the Turn versus before. I see I miscounted and only the bomber cannot make it to SZ95. UK still has 5 fighters that can get there. That makes it a 92% battle without losing the carrier. Better have the Luftwaffe in position to finish off the UK survivors otherwise the Italian Navy is toast on the cheap.

    @trulpen I think it looks good to me. Three subs is the right build, and the other moves look good too. My only thought is that it might be time to move the ANZAC inf to TransJordan from Egypt.

    I like the move. Especially the subs. Since I don’t see any immediate movement against central Africa, I like moving inf towards Persia. Plan on the French as well.

    Germany 5: Is my capital safe? After the US takes Denmark, builds a naval base and aircraft carrier the UK has a 3 infantry, artillery, 4 fighter, bomber and bombard attack. I will need significant resources to protect against that.

    Take Volgograd, Caucasus and Novgorod to get some money. Moscow is very safe so need to think about a long-term money game.

    US hasn’t built a mIC in Norway yet though, right?
