Savegame

Counting both sub battles, my subs rolled 1 for 5 on your turn, which was just average. The potential for the attacker to miss several rounds like you did in sz111 and a sub to sink a DD and amphib tt is a possibility in the Pacific isles. Now that would be costly, taking out a tt and troops and ending an invasion.
You are addicted to the U.S. income of 10 points from France. So until Germ can overpower you in the Chan, I don’t see you leaving the gravy train that lets you threaten Nor & Berlin at the same time. Moving to sz91 spreads the threat, but at this point, you don’t want to face the powerful Italian fleet with its double scramble (Ha). Unless the Euro Axis can control Gibr, its almost impossible for them to overpower sz91 with just bombers and subs.

Intercept SBR on Russia with 5 Rus & 3 UK fighters? Against 3 bombers and 7 fighter escorts.

No AA hits, 50/50 chance. Max damage. You rolled poorly except where I wanted to block you in Tambov from being able to send mobile ground units into Rostov. I put the max units I could spare from Bry, so your odds are poor, but battle calc said I should of had 2 1/2- 2 3/4 units left, not just a plane. Operation Barbarossa resumes after an intolerable delay.

Russians lost 8 troops, UK lost 5 and Germans lost only 6 on the Eastern front. I had to abandon my Ukr I.C.s for the moment, but you can’t build much either and I think my advance will cause major scrambling by Russia and UK.

I wondered why the U.S. put DDs by two isles, until ANZ took Sum. I thought it was an expensive way to prevent me from retaking it. But both blockers hit, so was worth it for you. I would have taken a hit on my BB, but the primary threat is from the air, so I took a sub. I moved my fleet closer this turn and brought reinforcements. But protecting both fleets from waves of attacks took a lot of planning. The fleet off of Malaya can be hit by 3 successive Allied attacks. The best defense is a strong offense. So I’m hoping to take advantage of the UK’s aggressive advance. Didn’t expect to buy a plane, since I have so many, but had limited options with Japan home waters so poorly defended.
