Combat Hit Differential Summary :
I spoke too soon, didn’t realize I had a decent chance of destroying your entire fleet. Though a bit of a screw up there I initially had forgotten my bombers which I wouldn’t have done it without them and then you rolled poorly, not sure how you want to handle the losses on average I would have had 4-5 units left. I’m more than happy to lose my fleet in the end as you have enough power to outright destroy it no matter how it ended. Sacrificing the USN to allow ANZAC and Britain to get aggressive is a strategic advantage that was woth any cost.
Also, you have scramble options.
Correction most of your fleet and all those juicy transports.
@Culann No scrambles. If I’m gonna roll like that you would have won even if the rest of my fleet was there!

For now. I don’t like the longer-term outlook on the Med. Playing pretty conservatively so I can maintain some punch. Losing that first battle of Leningrad so badly has hurt Germany a lot, usually have had +10 income between territories nearby and the NO for a couple rounds at this point
Pretty sure I can take it and about 50% chance I can hold it next round though 😅
@mr_stucifer In other words if I can take either or Japan or Germany it’s a win for me unless you really want to play to the end. I think you might get 8 victory cities in Europe. Western Europe and the Med will be swinging the other way here soon, the US doesn’t need to devote as much money to the Pacific now. I don’t know if Russia will be able to hold though. I think it’s going to be tight.
@mr_stucifer Err take and hold Germany or Japan.
@Culann Yeah, I would probably concede if that happened unless I was super close on the other board. Which might happen if you push Japan hard with US/UK.
But I have to capture and hold Moscow or London, and all the continental VCs plus Cairo.
