FMErwinRommel (X) vs Wizmark (L+16) BM3

Changing my builds: -2 inf, -mech + fighter. Please allow me to do this via edit at end of my turn, rather than redo everything now.

My turn for perverse dice, the DD that was attacked only by air, hit. If the other DD had hit instead, I could have taken my sub as my hit. Plus only 1 of 7 defenders hit in Russia, where I could have taken an inf as a hit.

Oops, I didn’t do Moscow battle. ha. Let me do that now

I thought that my sub in sz105 would submerge not retreat. There was no chance of battle, since you wanted to submerge. I should have stayed and then submerged you. I will edit that.

After all those turns of being in Bry but not attacking Moscow, it became a habit. I had decided what units to attack with, but just overlooked it. Max convoy damage of 7 was higher than I ever, but at least I got to 100. How the tides of war change based on who the allies decide to attack. Poor Japan. I shot myself in the foot by not taking Shan with sufficient force. Bad timing with the U.S. ready to rampage throughout my Empire.

The raw Russian conscripts left to defend Moscow either just surrendered without a fight or ran away, because no one hit. That makes up for my downed bomber, as bombers can be used as soon as they’re built, but Germany can only build a limited number of troops inside Russia and the ones built in Germany have a longer journey.

Wow, I was expecting a more conventional move to Volgo and then to Cauc. There must be a spy somewhere, how did you know Japan was going to attack Sui? Nothing like kicking a guy when he’s down.
