  • @trout Thanks - sounds like just cleaning up the non-com moves of G 6 should keep this thing going and interesting, thanks.

    Oh and I looked into it again and still got a 8.5% chance at victory for Russia. I guess I just concluded that with such low odds you would not try - but then why not try right? I will be sure to keep that in mind in future situations.

    I armed the 4 mines on the Berin/poland border and flew in the 3 fighters.

    Thanks

    PS. what is the Taranto Raid? is that the UK wiping out the Italy fleet?

    @johnnycat Operation Sea Lion can be successful within the rules. I have one game against Panzer and one game against Beelee which you can look at where I won doing that. Just need to ensure that you have fighters in W. Germany that can scramble plus some 2/3 surface ships at least. UK only has a few air units and if they do a Taranto Raid, then they only have very few for Home Defense.

    Do what you want with your friends but I think without those rules, it creates some imbalance where the Axis can too easily do a Sea Lion. For example, you could come really close to having a situation where UK cannot possibly do a Taranto Raid and prevent OSL at the same time.

    @johnnycat Absolutely - no issues with your suggestions so yes please redo your G6. So I had six guys plus an entire Army Group (page 47 of the rulebook explains them). That Army Group contained one Tank Army/one Commissar Army/nine dudes/1 arty. So that was in addition to the six dudes. So all of that plus my TacB and a few other tanks/commissars constituted the wipeout. Yes, if you redo G6 and put together a really good defense, that should hold against the Army Group in Poland.

  • @trout wait what? Your 6 guys in Poland took Berlin?

    If I thought that was even possible I would have put the 4 mines along that border and sent 3 fighters there.

    Is this another case of super powers I do not know of?

    I even mentioned this to you in my note last night.

    So look I am not into winning and loosing through little tricks - and if my Operation Sea Lion was successful without being spoiled by another trick I could not has known, I would have banned it from future play and that is what I have done with the other guys I play.

    I want to put time and thought into this game and get to turn 15 - 20 and learn all I can. So please explain these super powers and I will redo the turn. I'm actually surprised that you would not first tell me of the weakness. Like I said I saw the move but figured there was no way your 5 guys could take out 16
