Adam514 (Axis) vs simon33 (Allies) PTV

Assumed no scramble to SZ99 and Shan State.

That Japanese turn went better; Apparently I forgot to blitz through Shantung USSR6. That meant I couldn’t easily consolidate the two stacks, well unless I let you have Shantung which in hindsight would have been preferable.

I am surprised that you have now built a second IC on China. I think you needed that before but obviously you feel you can stand and fight in Kiangsu.

@simon33 Intercept in Greece?

Uh oh.

Full intercept.

@simon33 Interesting air battle.

Indeed. The dice gods where with me there. I would take the 3vs1 losses in the air battle to keep my airbase in business.

So the move into SZ99 was a mistake whichever way you cut it. Wonder if I was thinking it would be worth it to thin down the Luftwaffe?? Sounds ill advised.

Full scramble of 3 US fighters.

@adam514 said in Adam514 (Axis) vs simon33 (Allies) PTV:

You rolled good enough that the end result was close to a wash, perhaps even to the Allied advantage.

If I win this it can be called a dice game, although I think it was a mistake to let the Siberians run rampant. And also to only built 1 Japanese IC until J7.

Hmm, I find shipping units alone just not as good as the IC build.
