I continue with my risky attacks against USSR… fortunately my beginner’s luck still holds…

hey Robert, have you not forgotten about our game? You have not done a move in more than 48 hours now. On the other hand I see you did already 3 moves in your other game with ShrimpBoatChef since my last move was posted. Why is this game getting such a low priority over the other game in your schedule?

wish you good luck with the tax returns… I am supposed to work on mine sometime this month also… I was just not sure whether you did not think it is my turn or something… as I saw you active in the other game. Now I will know what is going on if it takes a bit longer with a response. I am tempting to start another game in parallel… but am not sure if it is a good idea. How do you like playing multiple games at a time?

Ok, I scramble all 3 fighters in SZ 33, kill destroyer first, then submarines, then fighters.

actually I don’t scramble SZ33, and normal OOL there, subs first, then destroyer.

One more request: I have realized only now that my surviving submarines in sz112 would not block British from going all the way to sz111 and land in empty Germany and simply take my capital.

Could you please move my whole navy from sz112 to sz111? I believe US cannot clear the cruiser in sz112 and my West Germany fighters should defend against landing via SZ111.

You could redo your whole US move of course then…. Thanks in advance.

Actually, please keep 1 of my subs in SZ 112. This way, I believe, you get 22% chance to land in Germany via SZ 111. (1 destroyer + 1 sub have to win or draw against 1 cruiser + 2 subs)

I believe, in SZ 111, you would get as much as 33% chance to break into Germany if I were not to keep a sub there.

Anyway, I screwed this up! Giving you 22% chance to get 138 (Germany -69, UK + 69) gain in PU is huge! You should definitely try it… in the worst case you will lose 24 (sub + destroyer) + transport + infantry) but potential gain of 138 is huge. I can only hope that my luck will hold

In a case you feel the edit is too much… then I scramble all 3 fighters to SZ112 hoping in a miracle that my cruiser would survive the attack (keep him as long as possible)

sorry for all the confusion, I was using wrong sea zone codes in Baltic Sea in all my previous posts!

Here is what I am asking to edit:

move 2 subs + cruiser form SZ113 to SZ114

If this edit is too much to ask for, then:

scramble 3 fighters to SZ113, keep my cruiser as long as you can in the battle.
