Wheatbeer (axis) v axisplaya (allies +8)

I thought I was waiting for you in this match  :lol: … sorry about that, should have double checked.

I’ll have Italy up soon, just need to remember what was going on.

I’m guessing you’re not aware Germany can sink the US transports in SZ91.

Germany could send the Paris fighter to SZ91 and a single unit to SZ110.  Although the odds Germany winning in SZ110 would be miniscule, the possibility of Germany clearing SZ110 means that there’s a chance that the German carrier could pick up the the fighter.

I don’t know if tripleA is coded to handle that scenario or not … but before I even try, I thought I’d ask how you felt about this rule loophole that allows an almost certain suicide mission.

(I bring it up now, because it will make a big difference to Italy’s turn)

Now that I think about it some more … France could move a cruiser to SZ91 and reduce Germany’s odds of sinking the US transports to 50% … I probably shouldn’t have said anything  :lol:

Actually, that makes only a 33% chance to sink both the cruisers and the transports.

Western Europe is crazy complex because we have 4-5 powers at work.

Alright, this is the same as the map I just posted except that I also NCM’d 2 fighters from SITA to Western Germany.

And that last is final.  I’m not especially happy with it, but I will drive myself crazy running the odds on 1-2 punch battles all over Western Europe and trying to defend everywhere.
