Trying something interesting, we’ll see if it works.

Also, I will hit W.Germany with 2 ftr and a Bomber on USA13 for an SBR will you intercept? (As I understand the A3 rules, after I see what survives, I choose my target with the bomber, then if an aagun misses, roll and add 2…this will be my first bombing of the game, if it gets shot down by aaguns, I surrender. :-D)
And, I will hit z112 with 4 dd,2 cv, ftr to amphibious Denmark with 1 inf. on USA13 will you scramble?

I’ll try to post tomorrow if able, but likely will do everything on Sunday

[JamesAleman]

For SBR air battle, I think I roll 3 at 1 and if you intercept you roll 3 at 1, then aagun rolls, then bomber…right?

I’d say when you don’t attack WGer amphibiously on the same round I’ll send interceptors. Will there be an amphibious attack on Berlin by England? If there is I’ll scramble 3Fighters to the seabattle

[JamesAleman]

well, UK comes after USA, it depends on the outcome of Japan, then USA’s turn. If Denmark is not captured, there can be no attack by UK. If your airbase is in tact with planes on it, there can be no attack by UK. Basically I have a 1 in 6 chance, to choose…to try a 45 percent battle(although mutual slaughter works if it permits an amphibious assault). That gives me a chance to possibly turn this long game into a shorter one. That is why I have to see Japan’s move, to see how desperate I need to be :) I can boost UK chances by 10 percent, if I don’t send the fighter to z112, but suicide it to 113 for a a 50 percent chance to boost UK, however that gives Germany a 15 percent chance of holding Denmark, instead of 4-5 percent.

So I can’t say whether UK will attack or not at this point. If I’m not desperate I still think I have some time to make things happen (just like being patient has created this long shot). Although it would be nice to finish my last A3 game ever :)

(did I mention I’m not a fan of A3  :-D)

[Auswanderersland]

Put the stuff in the air and see where he may/may not choose to scramble.  The favor weighs heavily to you this time JJ.  I think he sees the danger now, especially since you told him.

Wgr airbase receives 4+2 damage=6 which is the max an airbase can sustain; Airbase disabled-Germany will not be able to scramble air units from Wgr on UK’s turn.

I forgot to roll my attacks by USA air, 2ftrs and 1 bomber attacked at 1 prior to the fighter going down.
