we will need to both state our optimum OOL if odds are normal. I have you with 2units left if we both go optimal. Are those marines landing? Technically that comes before scramble… I assume Morocco?
Yes sir, Morocco is the landing destination - and if I don’t go with an optimal loss I can’t win the battle… do I’ll lose carriers first etc. When I ran the battle through, I ended with three aircraft, but I have to lose all remaining but the two from London.
I respectfully disagree about your playing prowess - we’re roughly 50-50 through the years for a reason. You tend to be more inventive and outside the box - I rend to take good ideas (that I usually didn’t think of originally) and improve upon them. We’re both logistically sound and have a good grasp of overarching strategy.
This game is far from over - Germany is taking a hit but it’s costing the US everything it has in the Atlantic.
I’m watching the Celtics tonight - will try to get to all the games as I can.
hmmm I did it again and had you with 2 units left period… I wonder where we figure different?
Might have been my mistake - I accept your analysis, cause you’ve done it twice. Regardless, if I end up with 3 planes, one has to die… I do understand it will affect a potential reroll, but I’m cool with it.

Well, that’s a wrap. In an unprotected dice game I would have quit. Use one of my two remaining rerolls.

Well, I’m down two fighters, but don’t dare use a reroll. Best result you could have had, other than me failing all three times.
Your transport lives, and I ignore it to land in Morocco.

I bought a carrier with those two remaining US fighters in mind… :(
