BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

[gamerman01]

New neighbor came over. Now I know better where one of my property lines is and where to mow.
So far so good - 4/4 neighbors met are great people, easy going

Now back to the high stakes FRANZAC move
Could have broke the whole game down on one quick assumption. But I don’t do that… :D

Will need scramble decision for 97
Asking in advance so it doesn’t hold up the move…

SS, DD, FTR, 3 BMB at 97

[gamerman01]

Oof, I’m tired.
But I know I’m attacking 97 with everything, so I’ll still need that decision anyway.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 missed this last night but the answer is full scramble. German fighter would be the last casualty

[farmboy]

actually, it might depend on your other moves too. If the US has any other significant moves on the europe side of the board, there is a chance I would reconsider that.

[gamerman01]

Right, I hadn’t even thought of that, sorry I asked early

Couldn’t do the move in one sitting, especially after my humanity caught up with me suddenly
On a challenging new contract this week - move tonight at the earliest

[gamerman01]

So I will ask you again after properly posting the combat move

[gamerman01]

I apologize again. This morning I realize one could ask for an advance scramble decision that could help them with their purchase and CM decisions.

Of course I was just trying to facilitate the game and not have the big move interrupted, but now I remember there are 2 problems with that.

Also of course, I will follow through with the attack - I would have never asked if there was a chance I wouldn’t - and I will ask you again because you haven’t seen purchase and CM

I’m not flying over Ukraine (or Stalingrad) AA when I have another target! 🪦🤨

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 all good and I’m not concerned that you asked in advance. I think it is often not going to be an issue and it can speed up the game. It just occurred to me that I should see the full move in the event I want to save that air for something else. I don’t think that is likely though and I expect to want to scramble.

[gamerman01]

Very close now, thanks

Still wanna scramble to 97?

[gamerman01]

GAA - you went offline.
We’re just a little out of sync this week!

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 sorry for the delay. Full scramble.

Worse things have happened to me

Thanks!
