[champinoman]

Made a quick edit above after reading the notes and realising I misclicked something in the non combat move. I wanted 2 infantry on that transport to Sumatra. (If you object then feel free to edit it back to how it was during Italy’s turn)

[Thurhame]

That kind of edit is fine.

It might have been a mistake to scramble those fighters. I was betting on the 30% chance of victory, but it didn’t come through.

Scramble to SZ97?

[champinoman]

@Thurhame:

It might have been a mistake to scramble those fighters. I was betting on the 30% chance of victory, but it didn’t come through.

I’m not sure which would be better. By scrambling, even though you lost 3 fighters, you managed to damage the British fleet to a level where it can be managed. If you hadn’t scrambled then the size of the British fleet would have been a larger concern for you to worry about. Personally I was hoping you didn’t scramble.

[Thurhame]

Scramble the tac.

I was wondering whether you’d do that instead of attacking my lone destroyer, since it gives you a small chance of killing my transports.

[Thurhame]

Take the tac as casualty before the cruiser.

Scramble in UK to protect transport?

[champinoman]

No scramble

[Thurhame]

Blast, I was going to attack southern france and normandy and totally forgot about it.

[champinoman]

If you haven’t started attacking then add them in. It wouldn’t have changed my scramble decision.
