Apparently the USA developed Aegis destroyers a few decades early.  Although the radar on this one must have been malfunctioning.

Whew - after all that drama, I avert a 2% disaster.  I would say “another” 2% disaster, but the loss of the cruiser was a 2% disaster  :lol:

If you don’t like my commentating, just let me know and I’ll stop, or at least scale way back.  Some like it, some don’t.

Gamerman:

The Soviet fighter was actually in NIN, not SUI as I typed and as I posted on the map.  So as much as I loved that dice result, you should still have the ability to continue in that battle with 5 infantry against one infantry as long as you want to also roll Z53 again after (so you don’t get the benefit of knowing that dice result before deciding how to continue in SUI).  Or you can just add two infantry to KIA and call it a day.

Cheers.

That’s what I get for cutting corners and not comparing maps (and not using your map).  If there was just 1 infantry there I would have continued, but I of course don’t want to re-roll Z53 either, so I will add 2 infantry to Kia (so 1 was killed), and thanks for your honesty.  I was a little surprised you would leave your precious Russian fighter there in Sui.  Looks like it would have been a brilliant move, in hindsight (which doesn’t ever count)
