Europe '40 2e: Rommel (Axis) vs Colt45

[Colt45554]

Would you like to scramble or intercept?

[FMErwinRommel]

Scramble fig WGer to support cru in sz113  I thought you would try to take out the cru, but it doesn’t do any good retreating.  Too many US planes everywhere.  My AA better work this time.

[Colt45554]

I haven’t completed US turn yet but in all three of my games, my opponents’ respective turns has my confidence in winning slightly/somewhat/greatly down  :lol: but they’ve all been a blast

All three of my 113 planes got 1s and all of my forces in 125 missed first round come on they gotta tell me which pilots are my aces  :-)!

[FMErwinRommel]

random dice are crazy, W.Ger needed 3 figs to scramble and more to intercept.  At least AA got one, didn’t see what damage strat bomb caused.  Above average temp today, will be working outside.

[Colt45554]

12 damage so equal trade-off, economically

Last game as Axis I gambled with poor odds against Mos and lost.  So this time, I tried putting all into Novo N.O.  I can’t believe that by T6, the Brits could put 10 air and 10 ground into/available to Rus.  Ger can’t strat bomb Mos because of all the Allied figs.
