@cwglee51 no scramble thanks.
do you play v2.5 or 2.7? I have both so checking which version I need to boot up for my turns.
BES was a weak spot, you just had horrible luck… what can you expect with a game that is 99% dice rolling?
Someone needs to start an A&A bad beats thread.
Have you notified Jenn of the setup issues? I think she is managing the startup file.
And I love the Bad Beat thread! Be THE most popular of all threads!

OH, and love the bad beats thread! Already amusing and will continue to be, I’m sure. There are always those crazy .03% chance of something that happens in this game.
OK, in my continued inability to sit back and wait with the Allies….

need scramble orderes for z97
and Here is the UK map with combat moves shown if that helps you make scramble decisions.
Hey, no worries. I’ll scramble those two fighters.
I’m pretty sure that London fighter can’t reach without the carrier going to sz97.
Yeah, thanks about the thread, although that guy saying he rolled 6 1’s against his buddy kind of trumps everything (0.000021% chance).
That’s right, if the fighter survives, i MUST move the carrier to get him. If he dies… I assume he’s going to, then I don’t have to move the carrier. It’s all a big risky move, but having not played A3, I’m going for it! Kind of like your Axis moves this game. Much fun… may never see an opening round like this one again!
So, Combat…

Wow! mutual destruction… almost.
I’ll let you decide how you want to take your hits.
I’ll save the BB and one plane.
I actually got 4 hits, so you have the option of a damaged bb, or one of your fighters.
Ah, I see.
I’ll keep the BB.
Cool. That forces me to continue… I will lose the dd, ca, ftr (from London)
