X-DAP-05 TeamBoldDutch vs. DairyQryn

So true Garg, especially since the axis are looking to win before round 8. :0

Maybe it is best I wait for Veqryn to take over his countries. I want to see what he does with those countries. I just like playing japan.

Need scamble order for Zero Uno in Tokyo.

I cannot open the file as I am not home right now.

However all I read are 2 fighters attacking sz 6 and 2 infantry moving into Korea, if that is the case then I will scramble my 1 fighter.

Sounds like a small risk for a big reward. I can live without the fighter.

Ugh, that was 92% to clear.  US loseses without killing the Jap fighter.  The dice are brutal so far.

            Objective Americans 1 Homeland: Americans met a national objective for an additional 10 PUs; end with 70 PUs

My mental math said 10% defense. Probability of going fighter for fighter above 50%. Payout of 33 ipc (more like 26 because the transport would die on J3).

So it seemed like a good move to make.

Yes, you need luck to win games.  Always need luck, not many people will turn down a scramble in that spot, so it comes down to luck for both sides!

That is just how dice games go.

Probability of going fighter for fighter 70%+, which is 20% better than a 50/50. That is not something people turn down.

Odds of losing the fighter without killing a fighter compared to odds of winning and the payout… it is a good risk to make.

Yes I have had some real fast league games. Nothing wrong with a quick game.

All:

The game glitched on the retreat on the tnp. It sent it to zone 5 with 5 infantry loaded on it. I deleted it and tried to add it to z16, but of course, you cannot add a loaded tnp to the map.  So, I added the two inf to Midway and the tnp to z25, but:

THE TRANSPORT AND 2 INFANTRY ARE IN Z16 WITH THE REST OF THE AMERICAN FLEET.

Oops, looks like i will have to add that to the UK map….
