[Tizkit]

@Tizkit:

British : -2.17
    AA fire in Volgograd : : -0.83

… -2.17.  At least no AA hits though.

You want to try to save that bomber, or max defense?

How do you want those sub hits applied?  Also, if the fighter hits where do you want it?

[simon33]

Sink CV.

If the fighter hits first round I guess I’ll have to lose a fighter.

Well, that was decisive.  The allies concede.

Good game Simon.  I’ll post it in the results thread.

Just out of curiosity since you have a lot of experience, did you notice any major holes in my game play?

[simon33]

I guess there was one small thing: Not buying a third fighter for India UK1. That blocks strategic bombing until I can get some escorts in.

Can’t think of anything else though.

[simon33]

I think the main take away is that 22 is simply not a big enough bid for the allies to stand an even chance. They can get lucky, but at that bid they need to. I think it needs to be at least 30 to be a fair match up.

Thanks for the game!

[Tizkit]

Yeah, I’ve been considering the bid.  I see lots of numbers below 30 and even below 20.  I guess I need more confidence to take the axis at those numbers.

Your axis playbook was pretty efficient though, not leaving much to exploit.

Thank you for the game.
