[MrRoboto]

OOL please for 97.

Note that I also attack TRJ, but intentionally made the seazone first so that you don’t know, if I am successful in TRJ. So think hard about taking hits to your carriers :-)

[variance]

max defense. fighters last

[variance]

no wait.  OOL should be:

1. damage carriers and BBs
2. subs
3. destroyer
4. sink carriers
5. cruisers
6. fighters
7. sink battleships

[variance]

Actually this one depends on the first round of dice.  Can you please just tell me how many hits each side gets in the first round and then I will decide on losses, thanks.

[MrRoboto]

Sorry, but I didn’t read your last post. I was doing the US/China/UK turn, while you wrote it.

But I scored 9 hits with US, while average was 7. So I think you would have chosen max defense.

Combat Move - French

[variance]

its turning into a long game.

[MrRoboto]

Yeah seems like it.

And I feel very confident to win it :-)

Looking forward to your German turn.

[variance]

Yeah you might win, but there’s no need t get snotty about it.  You’re a tier 2 guy and I’m a tier 3 guy, so what do you expect?

[MrRoboto]

Hm, I didn’t mean to be snotty at all, and actually I can’t see how that sentence seems snotty to you. Anyways, since you feel like it, I apologize.
