Scramble fighter to 92 to defend Red October?
1 DD and 1 fighter attacking

[Ghostglider]

In my search for clues against a future top opponent I stopped at your game and noticed Bold asking for a late walkin in East Persia…
What a surprise based on his message (29 april) to me "… the one rule i try my best not to be flexible about is changing combat movements (including walkins) after dice have been rolled… "

Wow!  :-o

[gamerman01]

He asked for permission, and I granted it.  What’s the problem?

[gamerman01]

East Persia was a noncom walkin, not a late combat movement.

OK, if you want to intercept Moscow, it’s fighter/bomber vs. 1 fighter.  You cannot possibly stop the SBR so I rolled it.  If you want to roll my 2 dice against your 1, just tell me before we continue and I can roll it on the forum.

I need a casualty choice for Norway for my lucky 2 bombard hits.  I checked the rules to make sure - you do have to decide bombardment casualties before we roll more dice.  If you don’t mind, perhaps you can tell me what you will take off if my infantry/artillery also get hits to expedite things.  If not, that’s fine, you’ll probably be available late Thurs. morning when I resume.

2 SBR’s of Moscow and there is only 7 damage (rolled a 1 and then a 2) but of course I’m happy I didn’t get shot down

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

Of course, you’d better hope I don’t just mow down half your stack…. or more  :wink:
