I could perhaps also have played a bit differently around London as well.

I didn’t look at it closely. Also wouldn’t a sub have served the same purpose as the dd in the channel?

[max334]

I’m out of town and don’t have my laptop charger. Nearly out of power so I’ll do the invasion later today when i get home. Do you want to do it live?

Nope, since a sub can be ignored. It doesn’t make the sz hostile. The point was to block picking up troops for amphi.

No rush. If it’s a big battle (seems you refer to Sea Lion), I’d prefer to be able to look at casualties. Atleast in the first or maybe even second battle round. Probably max d is the choice, but it’s not completely certain.

I will be home for about one more hour and thereafter I won’t be very available. I might be able to look via my phone, but not for certain. Will play Terraforming Mars with some friends.

[trulpen]

Might be that I’m back by then.

And negating any shore bombardment as well, of course.

This way also the fleet has to either stay and fight or move away.

[max334]

@trulpen well that sucks, but it’s probably balanced out by your loss of air in Scotland. I think i might still have 70/80% odds

Yeah, sorry about that, but it was simply too much of an impact on the position primarily during UK.

The loss of 2 air in Scotland was a horrible affair for the Allies. Makes things very promising for the nazis.

[max334]

I think it might be fun to do sea lion live. Have you ever played live? What kind of time do you have tomorrow and, if you like, we can schedule a time to do Sea Lion.

[trulpen]

I’m home now. Have time tomorrow, so just start it and I’m likely around.

[trulpen]

SL is not so common, but it happens. I’m positive I’ve experienced it on both end with both players present.

[trulpen]

Germany/Italy has 7 VC’s, so if you manage to bring down London it’s practically game over. There’s a chance to take it back though with US, but it can easily fizzle.

What I can see there’s 65-70 % on the defense, but perhaps I’ve missed something?

Abstained to take Scotland with 1 frenchie just to maximize the defense of an eventual SL. Losing 1 fig, 1 tac was extremely bad.

[max334]

yes you did miss something… you missed my two planes in Rome… oh, never-mind it was actually I that missed them. And of course I also blundered with my troops on the French coast by not fully understanding the impact of the English Channel DD. So now my chances are down to 28%.
Kind of a busy morning, I’ll see if your available a little later for the big battle

[trulpen]

You are daring. Looking at the dice history it seems to be the right choice.

I’m leaving in one hour and will be back in 2-3 hours after that. Will be available both before and after.

But on the other hand, if you don’t win in Europe soon, it’s likely a lost cause for Axis.

[trulpen]

Have to sleep now, but we can try tomorrow.

[max334]

@trulpen thats a surprising statement. Is that the general consensus that if the Axis dont win big in Europe they end up losing the game? I was thinking that with the loss of Russia, the Axis was looking good
