Turn 18. Jul/Aug 1942. Axis #7. (Continued).

3/5/21, 3:06 AM - [Axis]: I reworked the German land move a bit. Japan moves stayed the same. You have 2 defending HQ support decisions in USSR. I felt it best to send the file so you could look over the attacks. One of the attacks you have artillery support available. Let me know if you want to used it please.
3/5/21, 9:58 AM - [Allied]: taking a look now. FYI: My son came up from college last evening for the weekend so my play will be spotty this weekend. He goes back Monday morning.
3/5/21, 9:59 AM - [Axis]: no worries, thanks for letting me know
3/5/21, 10:00 AM - [Allied]: No HQ support. Both land combats in China blitz please.
3/5/21, 10:01 AM - [Axis]: roger
3/5/21, 10:01 AM - [Allied]: No ground support either
3/5/21, 10:01 AM - [Axis]: roger
3/5/21, 10:01 AM - [Allied]: But may attempt intercept if you fly. Would have to see.
3/5/21, 10:02 AM - [Axis]: ok
3/5/21, 10:06 AM - [Axis]: btw, I wasn't criticizing your decision to make the attack in France yesterday. I was just agreeing with you about the importance of the air battle. I think it's great what you've accomplished in this invasion, shows real fighting spirit. Many good players think you should never make an attack unless it's + 8 minimum. I think that's hogwash. One has to judge risk vs reward of the attack.
3/5/21, 10:25 AM - [Allied]: It didn't even cross my mind that you might be criticizing me so nothing to apologize for. I felt that I had to make that attack; otherwise I was going to lose what little initiative in France I had. I viewed it as a risk/reward gamble worth taking.
3/5/21, 10:25 AM - [Axis]: Good, was worried it came out wrong

They seemed highly likely to happen as soon as the Northern army group broke thru and headed South. It's really a question of style what one does when a power is doomed. You chose to go out attacking. I probably would have chosen to defend to the last man, but who knows which is better...
