Scramble to SZ95?

[Thurhame]

How… Drat, drat, drat. I thought I had closed off all your options there. Didn’t realize you could reach 95.

[Thurhame]

No scramble. Those tacs would slaughter me, and I still have a slight advantage on the ground.

Take the bomber as first casualty.

[champinoman]

I have roughly 40% chance here, c’mon dice!!!
