Killofreeze - a carrier gives you four casualties at sea (assuming it is loaded) vs two hits with destroyers for the same price. IMO, you can start buying lesser naval pieces thereafter. The German fleet is primarily defensive for me, not offensive, so I’m looking for maximum deterrence. A carrier does that quite well.

Secondly, a carrier is a much more versatile piece if you choose to head to SZ91 and take Gibraltar/Morocco. It makes you feel safe when you combine it with your starting navy, and allows you to project your airpower.

All for the price of two destroyers!

Anzac is done. I saved 9, collect 19, total of 28.

France will move their cruiser to SZ91 to join the Allied fleet.

US sub in SZ125 will submerge… question… can I stay and defend vs. the sub and not be killed by your sub? What’s wrong with me that I don’t know this rule? I’ll defend if I live regardless, and submerge if I’d have to die if you got two hits… make sense?

Italy is up! You have some cash this turn.

Well, it was a big deal, I got a lucky hit.

On round 1, I forgot to boost my two infantry with artillery, hence the extra roll I just did.

All apologies - spent 85… I’ll change E US to 4 Inf. Please use this revised map.

An even turn, I think. Up a unit at sea, and I had a decent chance of not taking Holland - lost my bomber.

US placement -

W US - 3 Destroyers, Transport, 2 Inf

E US - 3 Inf, Art, Destroyer, 2 Transports

Normandy - Inf, Art, Armor

Nothing has changed with IPCs… collect 84.

Well, you shot down the American bomber over Malaya… that hurts. The rest of my battles went well, so it probably evens out… kind of. First bombing run of the game, shot down. Go figure!

A question - with my long turn of US, both Britains, Anzac - do you want a separate map of combat moves for each country?

Stalingradski

Steve - I believe Britain should have 44 IPCs, not 39… all originals + no subs when they collected plus Persia, Iraq, Ethiopia.

Stalingradski

Right, and right, on both counts - I’ll start attaching the map… pbem etiquette!

See ya man -

Stalingradski

Actual placement, and map.

Leningrad - 2 Inf
Ukraine - Inf, 2 Armor
Stalingrad - Inf, 2 Art
Moscow - 7 Inf

If you notice that I screwed up any placements/moves, and it’s obvious, just change it. I’m in a hurry to hit the road -

Well, you’re right. I apologize for that gaff… and that does give Russia a great round. I’ll redeploy as fast as possible and get it to you -

We should firm up our rules for rolling wrong - in this case it was clear, but in some it won’t be… I even went back and proofread, but missed it twice.

Stalingradski

Ok, you’re right… I’m still adjusting to the platform just as you are - things look and feel different.

I’m sure you’re enjoying this! I just got repelled from f’ing Vyborg, leaving you an armor… whatever luck was against you before is surely against me now. Check that last attack in Vyborg. I hate this dicey - it’s been cruel to me so far, IMO. You’ve had a great turn on the Russian front, when it mattered.

So, placement.

Leningrad - Inf
Ukraine - Art, 2 Armor
Stalingrad - 2 Inf, Art
Moscow - 8 Inf

Let the stack war begin. You’re playing well to make up for early mistakes. And I’ve made a couple mistakes. By the end of this turn, I’d say we’ll be pretty even. Game to follow, once I non-combat and place…

Nice moves. I hoped you’d miss or choose not to attack SZ91, but I should have known… brings you back into the game full force… so be it! From my perspective, you’re up an aircraft as well. You rolled out of your head for the SZ91 attack.

Anzac places - Inf, Armor, Transport… in the only place they can. They also saved 6, and now have 25 IPCs.

Italy is up!

France will land their Infantry in Normandy, and takes no other movement.

Man, I hope the map is all ok… I put a lot of time into this turn.
