@wheatbeer:

Let me know what happens round 2

after i shot round 2, i knew it would go to the end, so i gave you the best OOL possible.

[wheatbeer]

No problem … I must have been just eyeballing the odds when I parked my fleet there.  Got too used to those bombers sitting idle  :lol:

[Axisplaya]

well, i didn’t like the odds when i had 11 bmb, 8 fgt, and you had 4dd in your fleet.
After you spread out dds and you only got 1 left while i got 2 more fgt, that’s another story… :-D

[Axisplaya]

Hello.

Just a reminder in case you have forgotten.

:mrgreen:

[wheatbeer]

I thought I was waiting for you in this match  :lol: … sorry about that, should have double checked.

[wheatbeer]

I’ll have Italy up soon, just need to remember what was going on.

[wheatbeer]

I’m guessing you’re not aware Germany can sink the US transports in SZ91.

Germany could send the Paris fighter to SZ91 and a single unit to SZ110.  Although the odds Germany winning in SZ110 would be miniscule, the possibility of Germany clearing SZ110 means that there’s a chance that the German carrier could pick up the the fighter.

I don’t know if tripleA is coded to handle that scenario or not … but before I even try, I thought I’d ask how you felt about this rule loophole that allows an almost certain suicide mission.

[wheatbeer]

(I bring it up now, because it will make a big difference to Italy’s turn)

[Axisplaya]

@wheatbeer:

I’m guessing you’re not aware Germany can sink the US transports in SZ91.

Actually, i’m aware of this technique, i’m even using it myself when i can…
I just didn’t pay enough attention to it in this position. Just checked that Italy couldn’t make any landing spot for Germany and that’s all. So i deserve to have all my transports sunk, just as you deserved to have the Japan fleet sunk because you didn’t doublecheck the odds.

[wheatbeer]

Now that I think about it some more … France could move a cruiser to SZ91 and reduce Germany’s odds of sinking the US transports to 50% … I probably shouldn’t have said anything  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

Actually, that makes only a 33% chance to sink both the cruisers and the transports.

[Axisplaya]

lol…you can be sure that the french cruiser will end up there !!

:-D

one sec

[wheatbeer]

Western Europe is crazy complex because we have 4-5 powers at work.

[wheatbeer]

Alright, this is the same as the map I just posted except that I also NCM’d 2 fighters from SITA to Western Germany.
