Hmm, might not have been worth declaring war on Japan to save the Chinese troops for a round.

@666
Sorry for the delay - but on the positive side for the Allies the Brits gave a tough fight in the med -

@Gorshak - those two coin flip battles that you won with the Italains in ALG on T1 and then in EGY were really huge. Kudo’s to you for taking those risks. If your style stays the same there is another below odds battle coming up.
-
I do not mind a risky attack if the situation is desparate and/or a win would gain a significant strategic advantage. But normally I prefer a solid attack with a positive TUV swing.
This attack is tempting me - but I am not sure yet. If Germany wins (32%) then it will be a major setback for the Allies - strategically and economically.
If I lose it will not be a disaster but also significantly worsen my overall situation (which is already pretty fragile but not yet desparate).
-
Just to be clear on the rules:
I believe I can only bring 4 planes from Italy as the 5th doesn’t have a landing spot - even if I build a new carrier (as in PtV ruleset)? -

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

After a prolonged and heated debate in the OKW finally a decision was reached.
Sinking the Allied fleet in the Channel - especially with all the British/French troops sitting as bait in these transporters - would finally turn the tides of war in Germany’s favour again.
But the risk was just too high: the Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe could not guarantee a victory and the consequences of a defeat in this battle would be dire.
So Germany will leave the strategic initiative to the Allies and see what they will do next.
Scramble decision for Holland/Belgium

@Gorshak no scramble

@Gorshak , meant to attack with the R fgt, not the tac, edited their movements, it had no bearing on dice…
