Sure

[Private-Panic]

Hell’s Bells - is it J again!?

It is not going to be a quick move, so I will have to take a look when I have more time to spare than I do at the moment. Will try later.

Leo - when are you going to stop mucking about and take Moscow? :roll:

[Witt]

I said we could kit Win a long time ago. The J1 sealed that. Moscow could have been taken, Seb thinks, ogni had not gone South. I apologise if I contributed to our not winning, therefore.

[Private-Panic]

We have not lost yet Leo. You won’t inspire your troops with defeatist talk! :x

[Witt]

You are my troops, Private. And uou started this bolshi talk.

[Private-Panic]

No-one has ever called me bolshie before!  :wink:

SCramble decision required off Germany.

Also any particular casualty order requests off Malaya, Adam?

Cred

[Witt]

I have to scramble three, please.

[Credulous]

Done. You lost and two fighters and two bombers survived for the Americans. I’ve now rolled the attacking dice for the first round in SZ37, and let’s just say the Americans have done rather well….

However I can’t process the casualties until I know Adam’s ‘Casualty Strategy’.

In rank order I would imagine its probably battleship damaged, carrier damaged, destroyers, carriers destroyed, cruisers, TACs, battleships destroyed, fighters.

But maybe you’d rather preserve planes at all costs which would make it:

battleship damaged, carrier damaged, destroyers, carriers destroyed, cruisers, battleships destroyed, TACs, fighters.

Or something more complex?

Just let me know…

I would expect “maximal defense” … thats what the engine suggests and offers you as standard casualties.

But Adam must say

[Credulous]

Leo’s advised me to go best defence so I will crack on on that basis.

That felt good :)

In SZ37 for the second round of Japanese casualties I took the battleships over the fighters as I felt given you were only going to have three units left after that round you’d have preferred to maximise air. If you would rather swap them back then please do (i.e. remove two fighters from Malaya and add in two damaged battleships to SZ37). Also you may have preferred to retreat to Siam, but I thought you’d rather team up with some fodder in Malaya!).

That feels like a good turn for the Yanks.
