Champinoman (Allies) vs Thurhame (Axis) 1940.2 Global

[Thurhame]

Attackers
Italy: 3 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 bomber

Defenders
France: 1 infantry
ANZAC: 2 infantry
United Kingdom: 2 infantry, 1 artillery, 1 fighter, 1 tactical bomber, 1 bomber

So yeah, you have me pretty well outclassed.

[champinoman]

Anzac first, French 2nd, UK 3rd.

[Thurhame]

What about the bomber?

[champinoman]

Infantry and arty first. And then can I be annoying and get you to ask about the bomber if it gets that far? Not sure if I want it killed before the fighters until I know the situation.

[Thurhame]

Sure, no problem.
