3 German ftrs scramble to protect z97 unless 4 land units and a Bombard hit Sita, then only 2 scramble

OOL Sita: art,3inf,cruiser vs 2inf, bmbr, 3 ftr (I will not scramble if there are 2 ftr and a DD,CA in z95) (if only a cruiser then sramble 2 ftrz95, 1 ftr z97 against 2 subs)
OOL: 2 inf, bmb, 2 germ ftr, Itlian ftr
If USSR sub hits in 97, scramble 3, take I-Sub off first
If landing on Nita: Scramble 3 Germans vs dd,CA,2 ftr and hope that UK hits once :)

I’m in the G40 Tournament now and I have online classes I am taking, I will endeavor to continue at least a post a day if I can, otherwise it may drop to every other day.

If that is a problem, let me know.

Good game, I’m enjoying trying to scamper to keep things going. I was so close to placing the Italian destroyer on z94 I1. That would be a different tail…I was eyeing those 2 USSR ftr’s on Ros R1. But I wanted to see what would happen if Italy lost its fleet to test this concept under stress.

I am about 4 turns from seeing if this plan works, its a bit up in the air at the moment. I almost did something exciting this round, but instead I chose to give USSR a bunch of targets: fleet with no planes, 2 land forces with only slightly better odds in favor of the Germans…I gave the USSR air force 3 juicy targets :)

The Pacific is a bit interesting, I’m exploring my options there still. You might successfully distract me Asia

Should be a fun round.

[JamesAleman]

In the Philippines, would you scramble to deny 2 bb, and 2 cruiser (with a ftr and tac in sea zone) bombardments if Japan has 4 air units committed to the land battle, plus 6 land units?

You don’t have to say if you don’t want.

[wheatbeer]

No worries if you turns get more spaced out.  Hopefully my our tourney game will get going soon, so I’ll have that to distract me too.  Mid-September I have advanced exams (doctoral program), so I won’t mind a slower pace by then anyways (although I am really addicted to this game).

Against a 4 shot bombardment, I would scramble the US fighter.

What would have been exciting in Russia?
