ABH and crockett36, (A+69) tutor game
-
@crockett36 I’m trying to guarantee a scramble into 110 with no loss to b1 attacks.
-
-
@crockett36 a little better
-
@crockett36 I like it. All the subs are really making it painful to attack the UK.
One possible adjustment. Put the Egyptian fighter in Malta. Can attack SZ97 without needing to land on CV.

@crockett36 Re: fighter in UK for scramble. Only need 1 ftr from UK to make Taranto 90% winner. Good since it can be chosen as the one casualty and then CV doesn’t have to hang out in SZ97. Everyone else can land in Malta.
Even if both SZ110 and SZ111 are attacked, you should have 1 free fighter for Taranto. Because SZ111 would probably only be a raid, 2 sub + BB+ 1 sb+1ftr+1tac and then retreat after one round to save the BB. If he presses the attack its only 50/50. If more air is sent to SZ111, then SZ110 could be come tragic for G.
Thus you could use the 10 IPC to buy ground units in the Middle East.
-
On the other hand, the fighter in UK is insurance against a really bad G1 attack and still kill Taranto.
I did think that the goal of these tutor games was to find moves that avoid game deciding moves that were based on 50/50 choices – unless/until the game was out of control and such desperate moves were necessary. Hence, I wouldn’t expect @Arthur-Bomber-Harris to press both SZ110 and SZ111 to the end. And suggest the alternate bid.
-
Yeah, unlikely to do 50/50 battles on the first turn of this game as I need to slowly dig out of this big hole I start in. Losing too many Axis planes in risky attacks will surely doom me.
Are we close to a final bid decision?
-
@surfer good call. I thought about Malta. Excellent.
-
Yes. I have taken into account the push for Yunnan. London is safe. Lets do this.
