G40L Eggman (Allies +4) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) - Match 3!

@miamiumike:

No scrambles - the tac in Perisa is after the airfield only - can I even intercept that?

No, you can’t.  But I forgot that TAC can’t do SBR.  I guess I’ll roll with it.

Well, there you go.  Lost a battle in NW Persia quite badly.  I’ve had my share of bad luck in this game in battles that may have felt trivial to you, but were vitally important to me.

@miamiumike:

I thought you would forget Turkey and make ‘sure’ you took NW Persia…

Captain Hindsight will say I sent in too few units, but it felt like the only way to make both Turkey and NW Persia more of a lock would end up leaving Iraq too weak.
