You're going to need give up 2 planes for the loss of Frunze. I also realized that I had a 3rd Ju-88 shown on my Land Base that was not in my build. It didn't fly last turn, so I don't think it effected much. Removing it from the map. No more DtD for me.
Right. A Pe-2 maybe? This is what the map would look like if you do that (I've marked all the planes that plan to burn Excellent Endurance / Scramble Defense).
This gives you a full attack group and maximizes your air defense from the available fighters + the 2 MBR-2s. The German group is similar: 1 attack group, 2xHe-177s (probably dropping mines), and a few fighters for air defense. Stinks to give up the Pe-2, but it has done its job already.
Edit: This is actually shaping up to be a pretty interesting game in the air over the next 2 turns. We're about even on turn 2, but I think you might have an edge on the attack on turn 3.
Sounds fine. Shove the PE-2 in the drink. Thought about tossing a P-39 but I probably need the fighters more.
My moves:
Carrier group to B4 Kraznaya, Grozny, Varyag to C5 Zivuchy to D4 ShCh-202(3) to E6 ShCh-202(2) to D6 ShCh-202(1) to C6 ShCh-202(6) hold in D5 K-3 to E5
Edit: No idea what is going on. All these links were working 24 hours ago, and now for some reason, they can't be displayed on this forum. They load just fine elsewhere. Did this forum host just adopt some kind of new block against yahoo hosted sites? I have no clue.
