FMERommel (Axis) vs Desert Admiral (Allies+16)

Yes, intercept. I knew Ger would be target since that’s where I build. But U.S. CV based escorts could only reach W. Ger, not Ger. So I gambled on where to put Ger ftrs.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

I learned from Japan against Moscow and U.S. against Germany, that if the bombing raid has at least a couple of fighter escorts, the raid won’t be stopped by interceptors; as the ftrs will take the few hits (if any) from the short air battle, and the bombers will proceed on to the target. AA fire won’t stop a big raid.

Very true. I do like getting the Japanese and sometimes the Italian bomber involved in bombing Moscow.

@Desert_Admiral Then Germany doesn’t have to risk theirs.

Starting Round 24!

I’m suspicious of that post by frasil18. Why would he choose to go into a league game to post. Might be spam of some sort. The U.S. has finally moved up its planes from Australia and most of those from the ANZ CVs. Will the mother of all sea battles occur next turn?

The dice in this game are perverse. Ger attacked Gre with 21 units, power of 56: but got only 6 hits (9.3 expected); U.S. defended with 14 units power of 45 and got 9 hits (7.5 expected). I had 100% chance of win and expected 10 survive, but got only 4 survive. Ger also attacked Novg with 21 units, only 39 power, but got 8 hits (6.5 expected), against a single defender. Why couldn’t I have gotten 8 hits in Gre and 6 in Novg? Or 1.2 hits per 6 power like in Novg, instead of 0.6 hits per 6 power in Gre.

Intercept bombing raid on Russia? Japan attacking with 5 bombers and 6 fighters. You have 4 U.S. and 3 Brit ftrs. Need loss by country if you intercept.
-
I didn’t change my builds from what I had planned before the U.S. moved up its planes to DNG. If I win the sea battle, it won’t matter, and if I do poorly in the sea battle, I will concede the game.

@FMErwinRommel Yes intercept. UK planes first
