If you had below average luck, I would be confident of an Allied victory. With the slightly above average luck, I will see if you make any mistakes since this isn’t looking very good.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

Here are the remaining German units after 20 simulations of the Moscow attack:

0, 5, 8, 10, 11,13, 15, 16, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 33, 38, 40, 43, 46

I think the <16 range will be a loss for Germany and the >25 range will be a win for Germany. Those intermediate numbers will still be a toss-up. Somewhere around a 40% chance for an Allied win, 40% of an Axis win, and 20% where we need to keep playing.

Tbh, I hope that I keep getting diced in this League games and then crush you with good luck in the 2025 playoff!

It would have been far better to have kept another 2 fighters in Moscow, although this does open up Norway for the Allies to control.

The bigger mistake was having the Chinese stack leave Yunnan in the first place.

@shadowhawk it does take either good dice rolls, an Allied bid, and/or meticulous execution to pull of the alternatives to Taranto. Otherwise you find that you lose Egypt, Gibraltar, or London early in the game and it is almost impossible to recover.

I have to spend a long time battlecalcing every scenario if I decide to place my fleet next to Gibraltar. That certainly is the best option if you can avoid mistakes, but I wouldn’t do that in a face to face game.

Congrats Adam. Good luck to both of you in the finals!

@farmboy playoff games are so close that one extra artillery can have a huge swing in decision making. There is no way I would allow a NG infantry as part of the bid unless discussed pre-bid. It is way too beneficial for just 3 PUs, of similar cost/benefit as a Scotland fighter.

@Tamer-of-Beasts if we are talking about OOB matches with no bid by good Axis and Allies player, the only way the Allies will win is if there is bad Axis dice on the first couple of turns.

If Moscow falls on G7, the match is likely lost unless something lucky is happening on the Japan side of the board. We have to assume that Moscow is still holding for one reason or another when discussing strategies.

In most games with a bid or balanced mod, the Allies can have enough planes in Moscow to hold it until much later than G7.

This extra income gives incentive for the Axis to defeat Moscow before about R12, assuming the Russians send a couple fast movers towards Africa. It means more risk must be taken in defending the beaches of Western Europe so you can free up more spending to send to the Eastern Front.

You also have to watch for opportunities to knock out the Russian forces heading towards Africa. A smart bombing raid can take out the forces if they aren’t properly reinforced. I will gladly trade a couple German bombers to prevent more axis territories falling into the hands of the Russians. Also can be some opportunities for the Japanese to assist if India has fallen.

Agreed though that getting more Axis territories into the hands of Moscow is a key part of some Allied strategies. That extra income is game changing in the long run
