@simon33

Scrambles to battles in a seazone (presume yes) and on Palau (presume not)? Also, order of loss for the big naval battle?

US15 battle.tsvg

[simon33]

Correct assumptions. Full scramble to the naval battle.

Did I miscalculate the odds?

[simon33]

Sneaky planes coming from India and New Zealand.

[nikola1975]

@simon33 You might have forgotten the plane in India and something else. It is showing 85-90%.

[simon33]

Oh dear. Just go max D.

[nikola1975]

@simon33

Ok, I had 4 fighters and 2 tacticals which could not retreat from the battle, i.e. they did not have place to land because carriers were sunk. I had selected them as casualties. Others should have had enough movement points to land either on a carrier or on nearby islands.

Please check when I send the savegame, because the game has chosen wrong casualties as usual - just to make sure I calculated correctly.

Well, nice… with the excitement for the Philippines battle, I missed the problems for London.

Hm, yes, that was lucky. Reminding me of that Scandinavian gambit with the Soviets in a previous game. But, in that one, you were forced into the attack, here the credit to you for the bold decision.

My logic was that Germany could probably finish off the survivors but that may well not have happened actually. Anyway, it went well.
