@VictoryFirst Soviets attack Germans in Norwegian Sea:

[dice 1d6<=2]

@VictoryFirst Yes. I worded my first post extremely poorly and that gave the impression I wanted the sub to stay and fight. What you ultimately did was likely correct. If anything looks off in the save file I’ll just edit it.

@VictoryFirst With that result, USSR Sub submerges. Just wanted to see if I’d get the extremely improbable event where all of your dice somehow missed. Carry on.

@VictoryFirst oops. Meant to say I do not have to choose whether I submerge until after your roll.

@VictoryFirst Stay. Since the sub must roll first for sneak-attack the Transport will be taken as a casualty if it hits.

@VictoryFirst Between the games with you + the games with TGC I am good to concede that my plan with the Fighters did not work (or at least, it has significant counterplay that can defeat mine as long as Germany deviates from the script of “winning on turn 6”)

We can do TGC’s balance suggestion. Under that alternate setup I am probably going to use a more “normal” plan as Allies as I do not feel Germany will have the overwhelming advantage they currently enjoy. We will see how it goes.

@The_Good_Captain Yeah. Similar to what I tried Vs. VictoryFirst in our game (which also regrettably didn’t work out) was the last-ditch-effort to leave Moscow and attack back into it instead of defending. That would have at least eliminated the German air-factor (or alternatively let me throw all the allied air at Berlin), but of course that’s still grasping at straws and did not work out.

@VictoryFirst AAE-game14-R5.tsvg

10% with USSR attacking Moscow was better than <1% with Germans attacking Moscow. GG.

@The_Good_Captain Germans do not return fire because of how sub rule work. Posting the rest of the turn now:
