It has to be a full scramble, reluctantly. I didn’t really think you would not attack there.
Max D.
hold on please
I’ll wait.
@oysteilo said in trulpen (X) vs oysteilo (A+5) BM3:
nothing wrong with your defensive hitting as always :blush: a coulple of edits
It was risky and costly, but I believe the right choice under the circumstances. Don’t have to hit any fleet in sz99 now and the sub disappeared. Dragging down 2 sb with me I guess made it materially worth it as well, although the luftwaffe is rather shaky against that swarm of US air.

i guess i was -59 with usa and now i am +66 with the british, the odds said about +80 so i guess i lost a plane too much.
Killing 7 axis carriers in the med is not something i do every day. It just had to be done. I was soooooooo close to doing it last round as well. At least it will be costly to rebuild that axis fleet and italy is in no shape to help (much).
go ahead, no more edits
Very true. I should’ve stayed with the fleet in sz97.

Forgot to use my tac in Bryansk. Sloppy. would’ve gone to Caucasus and one less land unit there. Need to be more thorough…
The fleet debacle also shows.
That I need to be more thorough when doing my turns. Take more time and contemplation on all eventualities. Noggrannhet.

this game is a typical example why BM is broken. This game will easily last another 10 rounds. Too much money handed out to both sides
I wouldn’t say it’s broken, rather more balanced. Might change my mind, but somehow I think it’s a good thing. It would be broken however if one side could win by default.
playing a game that lasts 30 rounds is not fun in my mind. It is okey once or twice, but in BM it happens almost 50% of the time I think.
I’m too fresh with this game, but that’s a good point. Main thing is that it should be fun.
