I want to clarify a few things before we start:
Are we using battle calculators? Are we sending the files to each other here or over email? The play by email function is broken (technical issues) on my end, so we can’t use that (we’ll just have to use the local game function and I’ll track dice to ensure neither of us are cheating). I hope this is okay. Are we using research and development/tech rules?L25 G40 OOB cwglee51 (L+44) v BobbaRossa (X)

Yeah, I hate Sea Lion with a burning passion. But no UK units purchased at home first round is a go button. If the Italian bomber hadn’t been shot down, it was 98%+ odds with multiple tanks surviving at a medium transport investment. Can’t pass that up. Though with how the dice played out it wouldn’t have made a lick of difference…
I’m going to lick my wounds for a bit and then will get a new thread going tomorrow.

Do you want the bid placed the same way or modified?

@BobbaRossa will try something a little different, will message you
