didn’t post uk pac’s placement anyway here you go. uk pac just placed 3 inf.

hehe uk’s air sniped yugoslavia infantry from italy and they all flew away.

lost a fighter with usa vs a destroyer boo.

you sunk 3 ships good job. less stuff to defend italy.

Anyway france’s destroyer is attacking your carrier. Scramble orders? OOL?

pretty nuts, but the fate of this game rests on 1 destroyer vs 1 carrier and a fighter.

no choice got to do it.

maybe that attack would be a bad idea. considering that destroyer could kill a japan sub lingering around.

1 in 100 games it is brilliant idea.

60% of the time it works every time

Minor point of contention here. My mother always said I should have been a lawyer, and said lawyer is begging to know. It may just be a custom/courtesy thing, so please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I am asking purely for personal knowledge, so I know that it is/isn’t normal for forum play.

1. Asking scramble orders out of turn: I know France is going right after ANZAC, and in this case, no real difference is made by ANZAC’s turn. Wouldn’t information based on premeditated attacks affect some turns?

I know Garg didn’t HAVE TO answer, so that may just be our problem for responding.

2. Does declaring an attack and asking for scramble orders not bind you to that action?

It seems to me that asking for scramble orders implies that attack is inbound.

Further confusion for me was caused because I didn’t realize it was asked out of turn order. lol

Good point it does bind us to it. I did ask, but not my country, really wanted it to attack honestly.

Yes of course he scrambles, it is a lone dd, just asking for expedience.

Did the numbers on it. Since we are just hoping for two hits, about 1.3% for that.

If there is a round to go crazy, this would be it.  Russia attacks with 22 inf against 12 inf 2 tank (a battle you win big or lose big with very little inbetween results). If that carrier is dead to french dd or to uk’s air, I won’t get blocked by an Italy carrier and destroyer from taking italy.

I am in the mood to go nuts, but I can wait.

They are not my countries and I am USA, the country that is supposed to be on standby, till things happen, then it goes nuts.

me and veqryn in a debate over this, but it is not my place to tell him what to do. which is go nuts lol.

the next time cow plays france, he is bound to attack a carrier with a destroyer

i however, am not going to do this attack

and there was no need to ask at all.  of course the fighter ‘would’ be scrambled.
