1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

[FMErwinRommel]

Sorry, but U.S. must consult with Churchill, so turn must wait until tomorrow.  Hadn’t realized til now that S. Italy is such a versatile place to park bombers.  Centralized location with an airbase.  They can reach from England to Cau.  8 bombers is like an 800 pound gorilla, even tho no ground troops.

[Private-Panic]

Happy to have demonstrated that one! :-D

[FMErwinRommel]

Germany:  USA strat bomb Ukr 1 bomber 4 escort ftrs.  Do you want to intercept with your 2 ftrs?
Japan:  OOL Korea - USA attack with 3 inf, 2 art 1 bomber.  Assume take your aa first casualty.  Your other units are 4 inf.

No other attacks (because we are so peace loving).

[Witt]

No intercept amd, yes pleaee, take the AA first.

Aargh  blasted Ukr aa struck again.  That’s the second time that Ukr aa has hit a single bomber  1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 odds.  I hit Mos once and gave max damage.

[FMErwinRommel]

And my single bomber in Korea also got hit by aa.  Again 1/6 chance in Korea and 1/6 chance in Ukr = 1/36 this turn.  If it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.  Good thing that I build 6 more  Bwaaah

Leo and I looking forward to shooting them down too Ed! :evil:

Unlucky.

I would have just attacked Italian DD with the 2 subs, gambling they would sink the DD and be sunk by the scrambled figs.  Luckily for us, Adam scrambled and lost all his figs, reducing the threat.  Will Ger now also send planes for scrambling?_
