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.

Your best round, Cred. Well done.
Could have gone Japan’s Way though. I did it twice in Local and the US lost both times.

did you add Fighters from Queensland and Iraq?

[Witt]

No. Did I miss that they could reach?
My first mistake, not that I would have been in this situation if we had not DW on one. (Sour grapes, I know.)

[Elrood]

Or maybe Germany left Japan hanging there too long due to late Euro-DoW?!  :wink:

Okay: I lost the game.

You had a good turn there Mark. Well done. :-o

I expected to lose off Malaya, but not so badly. My counter attack potential was supposed to either frighten you off or bring me out on top at the end, but you did much better than expected, so we’ll see. :cry:

I await the Anzac follow-up in trepidation. :-(

Always happy to accept that witt lost the game Elrood! :wink:
