I made 1 error.

Please move the SBR from London to Egypt.  I meant to land it there, but wasn’t thinking before hand.

OK,

So we have a dilemma,

I’ve attacked your Navy in Sz62 with my bomber.

My bomber has rolled a 1…  you have an Aircraft Carrier, and a Fighter.  Which one do you take as your casualty?

I suppose I should also mention that there is a transport in the sea zone too.

Aircraft carrier. Fighter will land in Manchuria.

disgruntled about fighter in manchuria

I was going to take that territory for FREE!  :S

So it looks like TripleA 1.5 still has the USA turn post bug where it doesn’t actually do the detailed output.

Kiangsu was a BS move BTW. Would you actually do that in a tournament?

YES.

And I’m going to do it in Manchuria aswell.

In fact… if I recall correctly, I did something very similar in a tournament or league game WAY back in the day of revised.  The only difference was the Japanese has just placed a factory (in FIC?) And the fighter failed to hit back.

The game was mine after that. Â

It’s the same concept as my gamble against your Aircraft Carrier in Sz62.  Sometimes those kinds of ridiculous gambles are worth it.  Even more so if Time and IPC’s are on my side, and especially if I feel it’s going to HAPPEN in my gut.

Other gambles, though they exist, are a double edged sword, and you have to be careful.  For example, I thought about sending my US bomber after your German Cruiser, but changed my mind after I realized… what are YOU going to do with it?  :P
