Omega1759 (Axis) vs. Paksos (Allies) - No Bid

[Paksos]

Fair play, my bad!

Will sort that out over the weekend  :-D

[Omega1759]

No problem. There are a lot of rules to remember, I still get surprised once in a while!  :-D

Glad I can keep my sub, which is keeping the Canadians away and destroying UK’s industry.

[Omega1759]

For further reference, I will nearly always submerge a lone sub against cruiser or battleship. Subs punch better on attack, so I prefer to live and fight another day.

Get em Paco!

@Gargantua:

Get em Paco!

Paksos has been fine tuning his strategy quite a bit, what does he has in his sleeve?

Okay, have edited your sub back onto the map and re-done UK’s turn - over to you as to whether you want to scramble, amigo!

(Loving the support, Garg!)

[Omega1759]

Scramble 2 Italian and 1 German fighters in 97.

Please consult on my order of loss after your first round of rolling. I’ll be on my computer most of the day.

This will be a dicey battle…

[Paksos]

Three casualities on Italy in the first round (not nearly enough in my opinion!)

(Also forgot to send the mech to Iraq as well - Aaargh!)

[Omega1759]

Free battleship hit, cruiser, German fighter

Lets see my defense!  Gooooooo

[Paksos]

Two more hits on Italy (you knocked out my carrier and destroyer)

[Omega1759]

Two Italian fighters

Roll!!

[Omega1759]

Nice shooting in 93!

[Omega1759]

Since there was no subs in 93, I assumed that you would go with maximizing your defense for the second round. With knowledge of both of your units hitting and me retreating, you would probably rather have the destroyer left, but usually you expect only 1 hit out of a cruiser and a destroyer. If you did keep the destroyer though I would commit the bomber to the battle to finish it.

[Omega1759]

Decided to place my sub in 95 instead, revised map.
