[rgp44]

assume Anzac scramble and standard order of loss, lowest CV and extraneous allies first?

[miamiumike]

Yup - this will be game….

MM

[rgp44]

well i hit scramble but for some reason the ANZAC planes didn’t scramble, i won the combat with plenty to spare.  I assume you don’t want to re-roll just the ANZAC planes for the 3 rounds so should i just re-run the combat?

[miamiumike]

No - good game. Poor play on my part plus really good dice in key battles has resulted in the bad guys winning (historically at least). I could never get a big roll when I needed it - this last battle included.

But, it happens. I forced your hand, and you got the rolls when you needed. I should have tried something else.

Good game - and take care

MM

[rgp44]

ok, good game
