15L G40 Luckyinmaroon (+20) vs. Gamerman01

[gamerman01]

I think it was a safe assumption that your fighter wouldn’t scramble from Guam, but it rolled a 5 anyway…… let me know if you take issue with this - if you want to scramble we could roll the cruiser/battleship and if they miss, proceed to round 2.

I also assumed the loss of a sub in 54 on my lucky hit.  However, you very well may want to lose something different to keep a concentration of USA attack power.

If you want to make any changes, I will need to re-visit my noncombat move before you move USA

Please do not hesitate to speak up if you do not like either of these assumptions.

[gamerman01]

You certainly got your hits in, but I was lucky here and there too.  A nailbiter in Sze - I won’t spoil it by announcing it here at the top of the thread….

High drama

haha, ur assumptions were correct.

i’ll keep movin.
