@wizmark
No - you can not have the MARTI results in SZ 98. I know what your thinking. stop.

You would have submerged, not scrambled, knowing you can take it out without risking any planes on your UK turn.

Freaking ridiculous. It’s even more ridiculous because we never would have seen it if it weren’t for the glitch.

Absolutely painful to watch
:grimacing: :angry: :face_palm:

@wizmark
Unless you would actually have scrambled. Then I’m sorry, and we can re do the battle.

But it still hurt to watch that . . . .

@wizmark
That’s all i wanted. I turn reprieve of an british amphib assault.

Edit was for my sub in SZ 125

@wizmark When the russians by mostly tanks, bad things happen to germans.
I remember this from an Aesop fable I read in kindergarten.

@wizmark
Danka.
I have learned that I have not been aggressive enough. That stack is massive. Trying to rectify it in this game, and not making the same mistake in my other 2 as Axis.
I did think about sending the mechs last turn (or was it 2 turns ago, I’d have to look) but I think you are used to playing better players than I. I see a huge allied fleet in the med, with a factory in Egypt, and this turn Italy is going to net 0 or close to it in income. My reasoning was if there is a 1-2 punch in greece, it is an area that is hard for germany to reinforce. Italy can’t cover it without income, and if the US gets just 1 turn, a factory is built. and that would be game over.
I supose the best of both worlds would have been to start sending a few german inf with an art or 2 down there, to free up the italian mechs. But that was 2 turns ago. Lessoned learned.
Your analysis of the over all german position is much rosier than I see it. That gives me pause to really look at it from a different angle. With my lack of experience, I looked at that stack, after 2-3 turns growing, still not seeing a way around it, as such a huge delay, the fate of germany was sealed. You see 50/50 battle worth pulling back? I saw those numbers, at turn 7, and assumed by turn 9, the end would be clear. Regardless if that 50/50 played out. MARTI would have to be wooing my daughter to give me dice that would allow me to continue on to russia with minimal reinforcements while fending of US/UK alone.
