L22 #3 trulpen (X) vs farmboy (A+17) BM4

Yes, I agree. Wanted to help little brother out.

Going with this change.

G3 edit L22 #3 trulpen vs farmboy (+17) BM4.tsvg

Felt rather committed after the investment of the ab in Greece.

And the sacrifice of the tr of course.

It’s ok to change after Japan.

J3 L22 #3 trulpen vs farmboy (+17) BM4.tsvg

Another change, although I’m not att the computer so can’t post a new file. Anyway, the sub will stay in z42 instead of joining the bs in z37. Juat a little extra support to further dissuade some crazy double-attack on the fleet.

May even have to pull back more from z41 and/or 37. Will have to look at it more closely.

Better safe than sorry. Stacking z42.

If i was to stack belarus instead the buy would probably change as well.

Seems you choose to stack Leningrad after all. That’s a bold venture risking splitting the formiable Red Army, but I guess Russia wants to take a bite after half of the Luftwaffe is taking a permanent vacation in the Med. We’ll see how it plays out.

Yes, might be worth a try. Germany does have a complicated task of protecting both an incursion in Belarus and it’s problematic fleet. Again I realize grabbing Iceland is a pretty suspect move.

This is going to make for an interesting G/R 4. A decisive win in Belarus for either of us probably determines the game.

Oh, I think have to revise the italian grab of Belarus. Calculated with 32 russian inf, but see now that it’s actually 42. Duh. Think it was a good buy and move then of you to stay in Leningrad.
