Wiz (X) vs FMER (L+16) BM3 G2

Scramble 2 G fighters in S. Italy? UK invading N. Italy & bomber & 2 fighters supporting tt.

Its cheaper to lose a tt & inf than risking multiple bombers in SBR on a major I.C. (in the future). Plus I get 4 points to offset the loss. The I.C. becomes minor and then only requires a single bomber to SBR. With a poor country like Italy, that is significant.

Didn’t think of that. But my inf may give a hit and offset its cost.

Your German strategy is perfect. Income 80 on G5 and Cauc/Vol income with N.O.s can’t be stopped. That allows you to put defenses in the west and build many ground troops for the east. I have little chance. You blocked me from retreating south to join up with the Brits. And your large mobile force will make me hold below NWP.
