I’m rather surprised you haven’t seen other games end with axis getting the VC win even though it’d lose in the long run if there weren’t such a win condition; or maybe I misunderstood your statement. Since the current game state is already looking to be an instance of that, and it doesn’t look THAT atypical to me.

see, better than going down and taking a Mech with them.
2 AAs I guess

The AAs did their job protecting the planes. Now since the French cruiser is sunk….

L O L and here I was, thinking that a CR can block the subs (boy, must have looked weird to you). I am still too much in the old game without DDs.
Re Sea Lion I did not rule it out, thought the fleet would absorb some air. 3 more subs were never calculated looks sheepish -
I mean of course I know that CRs cant. I just sometimes seem to blink it out and fall back.
-
That’s an honest mistake. How about if we pretend that you put the cruiser in z110 instead.
So do you scramble?
-
the only job of the cruisers was to block the subs, doesnt matter in which SZ. I would not have even started to build a fleet, otherwise.
And I am not even sure if its Sea Lion or Novgorod you are after.
But no, my mistake, no excuses. Scramble the three fighters. There is still a chance to take some air with me.

gracious from you.
Sorry to distort this so much. I was hoping you’d use the Italian air for the two cruisers in two SZ, if at all, with a good chance not to take both of them. And without the three subs the attack would have been hard. Thinking was ok I guess, but based on horrible noobness.
-
Ooops almost forgot to move my subs
z102
2 subs from z106map corrected.
-
I don’t think this is distorted at all. It is very much the “Battle of Britain” scenario that comes with the new setup.
-
Actually it wouldn’t have made much difference where you put your ships. I would have sunk it wherever you put it. As soon as you built anything other than infantry, and i was sure I could get the french blocker, I would have decided to go sea lion.
-
No doubt that you would have sunk it totally, agree. I just wanted you to lose as much air as possible in the process, to make Sea Lion harder just in case you tried. You moved your inf away first turn, I was suspicious of a feint, but to be honest I judged that Sea Lion was, all in all, very unlikely. Had the German BB remained, I would not have built a fleet. Well done anyways.
USSR coming up

I think I have 1 too many tacs on West germany. There should be 3.
