???????????? (Axis) vs Corriganhp (Allies)- Alpha3- no tech

[corriganbp]

I am limited to a 3 planes in the scramble.

[corriganbp]

so you agree that losing the cv was a decent move?

[questioneer]

LOL- I have to laugh at myself sometimes- all this thinking and overthinking one can do in this game and I forget a detail on a rule- ugghh. :-D

[corriganbp]

it’s very easy to do that.

unlimited scrambles would be one effective way to reduce the sea lion odds.

@corriganbp:

well let’s look at the odds now

att
1CV, 1BB, 1SS

def
3ftr, 1CV-damaged

…actually no the BattleCalc says 83.3% UK advantage still…hmmm interesting- you got the battlecalc app???  Very handy. :wink:

[questioneer]

that b/c the CV can take hits but can’t dish them out

Att only has 2 hitting units
Def 4 hitting units

[questioneer]

Gotta go right now- we’ll talk more later tonight maybe.  Go get the AASim app for your phone- by Skelly- really nice. :-)

wait a minute, given the fact that I’m down 1-2 fighters on land, you wouldn’t have committed a couple of planes to the sea?

[corriganbp]

and why would I assume that you weren’t bringing the cruiser?

[corriganbp]

if you bring in the cruiser and 1 bomber, I’ve only got a 7% shot at knocking out the transports.

so you would go forward with 1 less bomber, and I would have 1-2 fewer fighters.

if I had one less fighter and you had 1 fewer bombers, your odds are pretty much the same,

but the thing is, I would have expected your Italian bomber to take one last shot, and so if I was down 2 fighters, your odds are improved by about 10% and that’s really significant because they you not only have better odds on land, you have better odds at sea.

[questioneer]

I get it now- yes you were right- the AC takeaway was the best move.

Anyway- where were we???

Do we play on???

[corriganbp]

yes, we play on.  will try to get my turns done tomorrow.
