I am going to redo this because the game is glitching.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

So strange, the game is skipping over the non-combat phase and place troops phase.  Its happened to me four times.  I tried rebooting and that didn’t help.  Any ideas?

[nerquen]

I tried it locally in my save and it works just fine, at least in local mode. Try re-downloading the file, maybe it got corrupted during network transfer. I also attach my copy here.

Scrambles?

[nerquen]

waw, UK is pretty agressive, well after that horrible G1 they can… but Axis is not giving up yet, full scramble everywhere

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I figured that I would lose my fleets anyway if I weren’t aggressive.  I can always retreat my planes if I roll poorly my first round.  Perhaps the dice will like me today.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Critical choice:

You have a battleship, and 2 fighters remaining.  I have a sub, a fighter, a tac, and a cruiser.  I hit twice with my planes.  Lose the battleship or the planes?

[nerquen]

but the BB is already damaged right? So the question is if I remain with a fighter or a damaged BB for the last round, right?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Of course… I’m sure that you would be mad if I didn’t tip the Battleship with the first hit!

[nerquen]

lets keep the BB

On the last round of rolling, I accidentally kept a fighter with no moves instead of a tac that could land in the Med battle.  I edited that.  Let me know if that is an issue.

The dice were on my side during the two big sea battles.

[nerquen]

yeah, this is kind of Brutal against Germany… two major naval upsets in 1st round and Germany is left navy less and pretty much air force less, never saw anything like this before. Well the luck favors the bold… your risky, under 50% odds attack on SZ112 really paid off.
