Scramble SZ112?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Sure, let’s get lucky!

[simon33]

Pretty happy with that decision. The fleet was dead anyway. Took down some of the Luftwaffe as well as the Kriegsmarine.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Battle calc gave me a decent chance of winning that battle with the scramble.  Was worth the gamble because I didn’t need those fighters much anyway.

Nice for the Germans.  You won’t be doing any more amphibious assaults on Europe for the rest of the game.

OOL SZ41?

3 hits first round.

Not a good attack since the landing didn’t succeed, but oh well.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Tip two carriers and lose the destroyer.

Round 2 and beyond if you keep fighting: 
cruiser,
carrier *2
cruiser,
tac,
fighter *3,
BB

[simon33]

Didn’t continue, but had to kill Triple-A, so you might get two sets of dice. I’ll edit back to be the same as the first result.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

No problem, crashes happen.  I have never had another player cheat with his dice rolls.

[simon33]

Forgot to attack Algeria. I’ve edited. Presume it’s ok.

No problem. Always fine to edit attacks that didn’t involve dice rolls.  Most players don’t mind.

[simon33]

@Arthur:

Nice for the Germans.  You won’t be doing any more amphibious assaults on Europe for the rest of the game.

I have to try a few things in this game because I’m well behind.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

It is tough to recover after losing Egypt early.

[simon33]

I thought about conceding in the first turn, but decided to play it out.
