now that I’ve had a chance to play that turn, I think you are right that you were hurt more by that G1. I was thinking in terms of the dice (0 hits in 110 and getting annihilated in 111). But the outcome of that compared to other G1s (is that you have a couple of surviving subs in 110 and we trade BBs. Not significantly worse for the allies.
I thought one of my mistakes in our previous game was that I didn’t try very hard to save the damaged 111 BB. This time I had planned to change that, and then your dice denied me the opportunity and forced me to sacrifice units to recover it. But the German BB is a more valuable piece. Its interesting that if you had one less hit in 111, this becomes a much better turn for you.
I also am generally hesitant on vichy since in the long run doing it gives the allies the income from French territories, so I overlooked the implications of that. Now you have to adjust and either risk Italian air or just not do it in round 1 or at all. So that produces quite the dilemma early in the game.
