I made a dumb move with Germany.  Not major, just dumb and unnecessary because I keep forgetting all the details of the scramble power.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, this game has a pretty long learning curve.

take out carrier, so 2 hits, then cc for 3

[gamerman01]

Thanks for the quick response.
I was about to assume that, but there were too many factors (carriers that might have to move to 20, and UK turn immediately following)

Well crap.
I might have to commit both carriers.  Oh well, you’ll probably (maybe?) take some hits back
Of course, with the naval base there, good chance you won’t even get hurt.

Well, maybe you’ll hit me twice here.

Sweet there.
Yeah, but 0 hits is bad for me because I have to commit both of my carriers to death.  Was still probably worth it…?

[Karl7]

zero hits again….

the “random” number generator is not my friend today

Gotta get my nap in
UK terror tonight

[Karl7]

Sounds good.

If you get UK, I’ll follow right up with Italy so maybe you can get Anzac. That way I can get Germany in maybe by the end of the day.

[gamerman01]

That would be great

Slight change -
Cruiser to 26 instead of to 63
Leave destroyer in 33 instead of to 26
INF, AA to Car instead of to 63
US income updated on this map

Yes I’ll be shooting for early evening

You’d better tell your boys on the French Riviera that vacation is over…  :-)

I figure if you are going to take them out, you’ll hopefully lose some planes.  But my luck has been pretty awful lately… so I won’t be surprised if its a sweep

[gamerman01]

Sub to 44 instead of 42

UK6 with 40, spend 4 on a researcher
