Trajan (axis) vs Alexgreat (Allies) G40 A3

[lexgreat]

Go ahead with that order, and dont forget that US AA hits 1-2, so roll the three UK separately from the one US.

[lexgreat]

and for the record, after typing my orders I think I was in two minds re the fleet and Norway before sleep finally got the better of me. I wonder what your reaction would be for the following situation:

My fleet in SZ 125 with one ship blocking 112. 5 air would defend with the fleet (2 US, 3 scramblers), while 5 more UK fighters are in Norway.
Both set ups have draw backs, and I could not make up my mind. Norway could still fall even with 5 more figs, of course, but your bombers would not be able to reach my fleet.

[Trajan01]

I think that set-up would have made Nor very dicey.
But I think I would have had a decent attack on your fleet, and could have profitably employed the Boms against R (not doing so in any case is going to cause some issues).

Earn 51 Ter + 12 NO = 63  <=== Can you confirm G gets the Irq NO? Also, don’t forget to roll the damage on Anzac at some point.

Well that was awful. I think I still have a path to victory, but that makes it real tough.

Hi, did not go well, unlucky you truly were. Still nothing decided yet.

No, Italy controls Iraq, gets the bonus, Germany does not.

Sorry, ANZAC convoy, my fault, doing now for a max of 2 damage.
