I probably would have scrambled those J fighters.

Assumed you would not scramble from the UK given G air superiority. If that was wrong I’ll perhaps have to go again.

Hope you don’t mind the Scotland edit. Forgot that move!

Couldn’t realistically take London that go. Game on a knife edge I think?

[Witt]

You got me. I ignored Germany too long, but had fun closing in on Japan.
Next game, I will insist on a bid.

[Witt]

Scramble to 97?

[Witt]

Can I change my casualties in that last Round  of that Naval battle, please? I did know now that the surviving air could not reach England and would die, therefore.
Could I swap the downed Ft and Tac (already dead, for lack of landing space) for  2 damaged Carriers? I am not sure you can edit back damaged carriers, so if you are happy fro me to change my casualty choice, please use my second file with 2 DDs in the SZ.
I am sure you will attack the survivors and that means the defence value and Hit Points stay the same. If I survive (!), I will edit back to Carriers, when they are repaired.
Oh, did I say: you will never take  England from me!

Going away to sulk for a bit ….

[Witt]

You are never safe from me!

[Private-Panic]

Quite!

For G to win this for the axis they need 8 VCs in the west. They have 7. The only others available to them are London, Washington & Ontario?

Am I missing anything? :|

[Witt]

You have 8 actually.

[Private-Panic]

I am a bloody idiot! Forgot to include Italy & Rome. So as long as I hold on to those 8 until the next G turn I will win?

Feeling a little perkier! :evil:

I didn’t need to go for London! Doh!

Did Italy on the basis that my previous post was correct - if it is not I might want to do it again.

Isn’t this game over? Am I not victorious? I don’t see how ANZAC or France will stop me?

Shall we stop and start a new game? 8-)
