@Zhukov44:

I doubt many players would scramble in that scenario.  Especially given my early rolls the risk is hard to justify.

I guess I’ve always played as a trader; if I get 1:1 or fighter for a fighter i take it.

That was a weird round.  Another absurdly lucky result for the Luftwaffe along with a heroic defense in Greece.  I took the bomber as a casualty round 1 cause I didn’t see an argument otherwise–ie if the brits got their average 2 defensive hits Germany would still be heavily favored to win the battle, so i figured you would want to maximize your odds of winning or doing max dmg.  Looking back that might have been presumptuous–if it was let me know and we can work something out.

Well, I can honestly say that I considered the attack posibility and had planned to take the bomber last, so I would like to swap that for one of the inf instead.

[Zhukov44]

well in that case, I’ll continue with the attack, so I’ll roll it here
