I can't get a hit on your turn and vice versa. So 27 turns is really 13,5 chances of diplohits. At 15% that's 2 hit on average.

Are you sure about that? I read in a post somewhere that diplomacy hits for both sides happen at the end of both players turns. Also thought that at least one of your hits happened at the end of my turn. I also know that the automatic mobilization changes (such as for Italy and Russia in 1941) happen at the end of both players turns. But it could very well be that I am wrong about this as well. It certainly is not explained in the Rules. Accordingly I would appreciate if either Hubert or Bill could give us a definitive answer.

If they do only fire at the end of our respective turns than all I can say is that both of us have been lucky, me more so than you. You have played 11 turns; of which you have had a 30% chance of a diplo hit on about 6 of them. On the rest of them your chances varied from 5% to 25%. So you should have averaged about 2.5 hits and you've gotten 4. I have had a 15% chance of a Spain hit on about 3 of my 12 turns and a 10% chance on about 6 of them. So I should have averaged only 1 hit and have 3.

Good turn for the axis all things considered! Yugo surrenders. They get their long awaited USA diplohit (minimum 8% but still!) German bombers are revealed to be MASSED in north Afrika and unleash fury on an unsuspecting UK HQ. (part of that is that I confused the UK AA with the UK anti-tank (doh!)) I'm murky of what's considered in supply for HQs, I guess the fact it was providing supply 8 doesn't count to see if the unit was killed in supply. For a second time, the UK comes short of killing an italian army. The Royal navy manage to slink in and snipe a cruiser however.

Actually its a bit confusing how large a diplomacy hit I got with the US. The message I received said I got a 12% swing. But you were at 87% and even if you got the maximum 5% swing for the surrender of Yugoslavia that would have only put you at 92%, so less my 12% swing should mean the maximum US mobilization would be 80%. But at the start of my turn US mobilization was 81%.

The Axis did even better with my last turn; destroying 2 Fighters, a TAC, a Tank, an Army and a Heavy Cruiser (at least I think it was a heavy cruiser). All but the Army and, of course, the heavy cruiser had 6 or better supply though.

Meanwhile Greece joins the Allies. Something I didn't even think was possible without a diplomacy chit.

No kidding. Maybe now hopefully the call to nerf uberdiplo will subside? [;)] I had a lot of hardware present but everything was underteched, a consequence of the strategy.

Same regarding Greece I guess it's possible if the coup impact rolls very high?? I marched into albania to trigger the Italian loss of moral but I don't expect them to last very long...

Ah... Maybe the 1-2% per turn from the US is kicking in?

Forgot to say, Irak surrenders at the first sight of UK troops despite efforts from Germany to arm the insurgent.

Greece still kicking despite a successful use of italian bribery. [:)] I don't think there's an HQ supporting the Axis troops because the understrenght Greeks are giving them trouble. Notably a 2 pip panzer lost 3 damage in the fighting. Part of that however is that German tanks are still at lvl 1.

I'm saving some of my luck for latter. Hopefully yours will be spent by 1942. [:D]

Learned something new this turn. If a defending unit starts your turn with supply level 5 and you cause it to retreat to a hex in which it has supply level 6 before you destroy it; you do not get the morale hit and I assume your opponent can rebuild the unit at the reduced cost. So does this work in reverse? In other words, if an enemy unit starts a turn with 6 supply and you retreat it to a hex in which it has only 5 supply before destroying it, do you get the morale bonus hit? I suspect not, but does anyone know?

You only get the moral thing if its under supply 5 though.
