179 5/10/2026 12:43:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message You asked about invasion. I can launch them pretty much anytime (for instance, Sledgehammer or Roundup) but of course have to have the card.

It is winter right now, so only invasions in the Mediterranean can take place.

To launch Torch, I must have played US Build up. Invasions of Italy require I hold N.Africa.

You don't need to worry about invasions this turn, but in the Spring, if I hold the cards either Sledgehammer or Roundup could go.

Of course, i have to give up Torch and/or Overlord if I do those.
178 5/10/2026 12:38:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message If you happen to have Hedgehogs in your hand, placing trenches in Kirovograd, and Kremenchug would may your south flank VERY strong

Dig in Moscow(-1) and Dnep
173 5/10/2026 11:57:00 AM Winter 1942 Allied Message Since the ITc is dead and your MO is done, I recommend you use the ops point it would have used to move a unit forward in Russia

This makes your defense in the south pretty solid and there are no threats in the center or the north.

You aren't in that bad of shape to go for a "hold-out" victory.
172 5/10/2026 11:53:00 AM Winter 1942 Allied Message ITc to EB. Thus it is not there to make the MO.

I wll move your PZc from Hellfire Pass to Mechili via Sid Sulieman to complete your MO

Rule 8.3 Requirements of a Mandated Offensive
• For an OKW Mandated Offensive, the German player must
attack a unit or capture an Allied controlled space outside the Soviet Union.*

170 5/10/2026 11:48:00 AM Winter 1942 Allied Message Morning, Alan. I had an attk in message #161 that you didn't do...

C Tobruk: 3 x CWc attk Gazala 6s vs 1s

There can be no damage to the AL but the ITc may survive on dr = 2 or less

I will go ahead and roll it

169 5/9/2026 9:23:00 PM Winter 1942 Axis Message I moved the Paner Unit to Mechali.
The attack of the Itlians is to satisfy my Orders. Almost no chance of me getting a victory point hex, short of Airborn, Armor, Italian Navy, and every stray transport from Casablanca.
I will throw the Italians on the fires of Axis Victory.(Snort) Lol

Alan
168 5/9/2026 9:18:00 PM Winter 1942 Axis Message I will fight in North Africa to the last Italian Unit. ~ Uncle Erwin.

I never got this far in any other game. What is the earliest turn you can invade? I will look at cards more closely.

I probably lost this one, but I won't spoil your fun.. I can practice defensive moves, it will be good practice. You are very good.

167 5/9/2026 5:45:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Ummm....Hellfire Pass.

:-)
166 5/9/2026 5:18:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message BTW, in BtB you don't have to actually make an attk to satisfy a MO -- you can just capture an enemy space by moving thru it.

For instance, the PZc in Hellfire ass could move thru Sid Sulieman...
165 5/9/2026 1:25:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Think your ITc in Gazala is probably dead, see message #161
