I am going to make a rather LARGE assumption on your behalf.

I assume no scramble against SBR in London.

It would be my 6 dice at 1 versus your 3 dice at 1.  And considering my build “looks” like a sea-lion build, you’re not going to want to risking fighters.

If I happen to be wrong, you are welcome to re-roll the whole shin-dig.

Well I have to say…

There’s nothing that makes you feel like you’re the “greatest Axis and Allies mastermind that ever lived” than a German opening that is running like clockwork.

Initial results and gambles are working perfectly.  Glad I’m not on the other side of this table… :S

I suppose this could have gone ALOT better…  but, it was a victory in the end, and better than losing planes.
