@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

@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 . . . .

@mainah no thats fine…quite happy to kill the italians next turn lol…and at least you got the bad rolls out of the way on a null battle!

@mainah just giving you something to worry about! :wink:
I could possibly have held on in bryansk 1 more turn…but you had a potential 50/50 on moscow if the can open with italy went well, and a 50/50 ish in bry if you went allout attack…unlikely but not worth the risk. So a fall back and reinforce seemed the best option…still got a fair amount of cash with the russians…potential 6 armour build next turn!! :smile:
-
@mainah but you are doing mostly the right thing with germany in this game…mech and bomber builds ae very strong…you still have an atlantic presence and shoring up italy is a solid play.
The only thing I would say is that you havent been aggressive enough against russia…to still be pulling in 36ipcs in R7 is very good for the allies. The key to a fast advance to moscow is that italian can opener…those mech units in the balkans would be far more effective rampaging through russia…an allied landing in greece can be a pain but the logistics of reinforcing a landing are tricky and the germans can bring a lot of air and mechs v quickly to kick the allies out if you are worried about that…
Hope you dont mind me noting that!
-
@mainah oh and very good block with the german dd! That saved you from the allied landings this turn! :+1:
-
@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. -
@mainah The big advantage germany has over russia is mobility…Russia has 1 army which at all times must cover moscow and which is limited to moving 1 square a turn…once germany gets a few fast movers around the north or south flank 2 squares away from the main russian stack then you have many routes to moscow… In our game for example you have a force in archangel…with the right can open you had a 80% chance of winning against a max 10 build in moscow…so I would have to send units back from bry to make sure it didnt happen…that would weaken the main stack…which would then be a touch too weak against an all out attack.
Even worse for russia is a strafe attack…if you do a 1 round attack in which we both lose say 20 men… you can replace it in 1 turn, it takes 2 for russia to do the same… I cant afford the casualties in a battle that isnt for moscow so the sensible route is to pull back which adds 20 or so units to my army…last rounds build and this rounds. It will now take you at least 2 turns if not 3 or 4 before you can hit moscow by which time i can hopefully get reinforcements and landings going…trading space for time!
