If you’re only reading this via phone, the Allies have the following left in their fleet:
UK - 1 damaged BB, 1 damaged CV, 3 cruisers
US - 2 destroyers, 1 cruiser (and also the 2 empty transports)Isn’t there 2 UK-figs there?
How silly. There were of course 2 figs that should’ve landed on the ac.
-
There are no planes in the SZ other than Italian ones
-
There should’ve been. Quite evidently. Why move in an empty carrier.
Anyway, was going away for dinner and rushed the turn. I did move a lot of air to Cairo, right?
-
I usually ask my opponent when I see something that’s an obvious over-look, but we’re all different.
I*m sure I moved 2 figs to the fleet, but must’ve undone it and not seen it while stressed.
Ok, I guess I have to suck it up. Take out 1 US-des and 2 UK-cr.
-
You left the odds 50/50 if Italy went all-in and I assumed the Allies were baiting me, since even if Italy won there, it would open up SZ97 to convoy.
Are you asking me to redo my turn and throw out the dice results?
-
I’m not saying I wont do it, but it’s kind of rough to ask this after a 2 rounds of dice.
I would also point out that I redid one my Soviet turns in our last game because you wanted to edit a prior turn.
-
Yeah, there’s logic to that. Didn’t mean to sound harsh or whining. Baiting is not really part of my playing-style, although I might use it if I’m in a desperate situation.
The mistake is mine, so the choice is yours. When I calculated for that fleet I had over 90 %. Was more concerned about the smaller fleet in z98, so was surprised that you attacked z96. Was only on my phone and with friends, so only realized now that the air was missing.
It was however an honest mistake. My idea was to to a primary and secure stacking in z96, and then a bit more shaky stacking in z98 with subs.
Anyhow, whatever progress you choose, I’m fine with it.
-
I want to play people’s best strategy and not win or lose as a result of misclicks.
But you really need your mistakes to be more obvious if I’m going to have any hope of identifying them as such.
-
You can fix your UK turn and I will redo Italy … I expect Italy’s dice rolls in Russia to stand (although depending what UK does, Italy might substitute Bryansk for Smolensk).
I don’t know about other battles until I see a fixed UK turn.
-
Certainly. Thanks for your lenience and sorry for making a mess.

It’s good.

You could’ve done a different attack in Algeria though, since your sb was relieved. Like 1-2 inf instead of 1 inf, 1 tank. It’s ok if you want to change that. You can look at it during G.

The bomber started the turn in Berlin, so it would only have the option to land in Tunisia, which wouldn’t be safe.
