I have enjoyed this game but I am ready for it to be over. 17 rounds of Germany going pretty solidly after Moscow and they are still not there. That is ridiculous! Indeed, they are probably not likely to get there for another 5 rounds or more.
Sure, I probably would have cleaned it up if I had put in an IC on Southern Caucasus and taken Egypt first. I wonder if there is a realistic counter to the move of putting a transport into the Black Sea. Obviously you could buy a bomber as USSR. Or put the British bomber down in that area. So I guess a couple of possibilities but they may not get there in time. I think it would prove to still be worth it.
Since I started this game I will keep playing it, or we can call it a draw.

Scramble from Norway? Presume not but a big battle so I will ask. I would assume Max D.
@nikola1975 said in PtV L22 #3 Simon33 (Axis+6) vs Nikola1975 (Allies):
What a stupid way to lose Australian fighters.
You also got poor dice but they probably shouldn’t have been there at all because of such a possibility.
hold on…
No scramble.
I was counting on 70-75% battle and then some luck for the Allies so only German planes survive. Now, with 90%, it might prove a stupid decision not to pull out all the fighters. Well, you never know.
