Intercept on Egypt.

Also battle against Italian fleet might get a bit hairy. First two hits are obviously to the HP units, my question is whether the next hit goes to sinking the carrier, or to sinking destroyers.

[nikola1975]

@Hythem Ok, I see what you have done with the Italian airport :)

Sink the carrier first, of course - try to defend Italians on maximum possible.

[Hythem]

Heh, yeah, if I assign two planes on the airfield, I should have (I think?) only a 1/36 chance of your airfield still being operational. America before Britain was quite the advantage there.

Thanks for the answer regarding the attack. That said, I still need an answer for whether or not Egypt intercepts.

[nikola1975]

@Hythem Sorry. No intercepts.

I was going to complain about losing that Russian plane to a 1/9 chance, then I get hit with this awesome luck.

Jap/America fights were fine, both sides over-rolled and I lost roughly as many attacks as expected on that attack I think?

British/Italian fights were busted though, -2.33 +3.17!!!, came out of there with many more British planes alive than I expected.

[nikola1975]

@Hythem Well, ok, what can I say. I stopped complaining, or even thinking about things like this. It is a part of the game, it can happen, and it will occasionally happen. It is also my fault that I overlooked the possibility of bombing the airport.

Now, let’s try to save this game somehow.

[Hythem]

You are right, sorry if I sounded like I was expecting you to complain, and statistical anomalies are indeed pretty much inevitable.

Thanks for giving me credit for the bombardment, yeah I am proud of that find.

@Hythem No, not at all. I am just making a comment from my side. No need to apologize at all :)

I was thinking of how the British will be squeezed in the Middle East after Cairo fell and India hopefully to fall. It should have led to their demise, right? But now, instead, they are somehow the aggressor again.
