In that case I say we gamble on some Stukas, they will be very hit and miss but it looks like our best chance of taking out the enemy armor
Seems like a good idea! Can we order a air mission on that group to the west without engaging them on the ground?
We still have to figure out what to do with the rest of our troops...
Where is our CO? Herr Cargol, wo sind Sie?
Ratzki, can we order a air missions on that group to the west without engaging them on the ground?
yes, I will have to abstract it, and you will not know the outcome.
What is the most we can effectively spend on air support?
Hi Ratski! Regarding the outcome of the air attack, wouldn't our "Rec" element shadowing the armor column be able to report the result, as well as a report from the pilots that made the attack? Let us know! Thanks and have a good one!
Regarding the number of aircraft we can order, it would appear we could spend all 8 Reiforcement Points on them so we would get four air missions/2 points per air mission! See Reif Excerpt below:

*Will only arrive when weather permits. You are purchasing
an air mission not just a plane. You are assured 1 plane but
may receive more, up to 3 planes. You imrove your chances
of getting more planes by spending more points. You will
always get at least one. All planes received will arrive in one
battle, your choice, but you must choose one before the end
of the day or loose the air mission with no refund of point spent.
I suggest we spend all 8 pts on air missions this turn and send them all on that west column.
Hi Chuck and the German Team! I agree that we should use all of the points to buy the Air Support! But, since we are facing a lot of armor in our current engagements in the town, airport, and vicinity, I was going to suggest that we take 6 points to attack the column of Tanks to the west that are moving behing us, and 2 points to provide air support to our current battles, so that we can maybe make a dent in the Russian Armor attacking us there. Have a good one!
I agree! What about our KGs and reinforcements on the SW road?
I think that we should not use a lot of our points for chancy air support as the outcome is doubtful and the surviving tanks would still be able to proceed unimpeded.
I think we should buy an inf company and a 105mm howitzer platoon and place it where it can block further progress of that tank column. We should accept the loss of the western road and concentrate on defending the south-western route.
Most importantly, we should not abandon the town centre as we would lose too many victory flags. We stay where we are, redeploy a few of our units and buy a new inf company+howitzers to stop the enemy.
The situation is simply not as critical as to warrant using 8 points on air missions that are going to be there for only one turn. If we buy troops they are there to stay.
