Italy lost 2CA 1BB 2TT vs UK losing 1BB 1CV 2ftr. Seems a bit of a wash.

58 TUV loss for Italy. Plus the 31 TUV for German air. A sweet 89 TUV loss for poor Axis.

UK actually lost 1 des, 2 cr, 1 bs, 1 ca and 2 fig, so that’s a 88 TUV loss for UK.

More important though are the strategic elements. Is the UK fleet displaced by Egypt? Perhaps only temporarily. Moving Italy out east instead of west was a big mistake. UK recaptures Egypt without any contest. Germany is rather happy though not having to struggle with a combined US/UK-fleet in the Atlantic.

Thanks! Of course missed to move up that bs from z54 to z33.

That Axis still are stronger than Allies in BM3 is not under debate. The balanced bid is however not all clear. As you say, it will likely be bigger than 10. Maybe 20 is the level? Who knows. 50 is out of the question though. Also, there might be strategies with the Allies developed that counter this still.

Shouldn’t be partzying on that Chardonnay. Thatz will teach zem.

Trulpen (axis) stomps Shin-Ji (Allies +4)!

Well, after having crawled up from being pushed down heavily into the ground in the previous clash, ze nazis were in for a vengeance… A tough battle with many awkward dice swinging both ways.

Now onto G3. Let the attacks finally begin.

Curious Andrew, how well does this ignore-China plan work in Balanced Mod?

He doesn’t really play BM3, so the question is unfair. Think he’s tried it or in the process of trying it, but it’s a lot to adjust to.

It might actually be stronger in BM3. No need to keep any guerilla down. On the other hand J sorely misses the income-boost that China provides.

Now J1 is posted. Very different.

@oysteilo, hope for a good game!

Hey, if the figs go to Karelia, one of the can pick off the trannie and the bomber can do some damage on the WG MIC.

@surfer is exclusive the Tsugaru Strait is controlled by Japan alone. That doesn’t necessarily mean that sz 6 is exclusive to Japan, however, since ships can freely pass in the north and south of the sea zone.

But you just can’t reach z6 from z17 then.

Both. I had trouble with my ordinary account here, so started a new one. You can say that one is for posting moves and the other for communication.

May I say the F-word?

Horrible dice in the north.

G kills off an inf in Karelia and stands untouched in Vyborg.

Now there’s a choice to make. I’m considering securing Leningrad, but it hurts.

One thing, is it possible to make the numbers on the map bigger?

I’d like to zoom out, but I can’t, because then I don’t see how many units there are.

My playernick is trulpen though.

So what do you suggest, Bomber?

Protect Leningrad and risk the air or abandon it, letting that single inf take it and focus now on Moscow?

@trulpen Just select the territories tab and mouse over areas of interest.

I do at times, but I prefer to be able to see it directly, if possible, excluding piles of different units where all is crawling over each other fighting for breath.

Happened to walk onto S France, but changed my mind and edited. Not sure if it impacts the Toulouse fleet? Anyway, if S France is occupied by anyone except the Free French later on, I guess we just have to edit manually.

My gosh, so much spent to kill 1 German and keep Novogorod for an additional turn. Wow, that just wrecked the game.

I insist that the plan was good. :)
