need scramble decision in 109 and intercept decision in london (soon to be german occupied london)

@Veqryn:

i would say no to both, but since cow owns london for now, he’ll need to make the decision

so please wait for his confirmation

Veq, i got a genuine laugh when i saw this.  Thanks it brightened my day  :-)

hey veq, were you the one who warned cow about the sealion?  i didn’t think he was gonna max build in london last turn.

@Veqryn:

It is really no different for any other A&A game, but once again I am willing to bet that the fate of this game will depend on AA rolls.

the SBR for the next few turns, the eventual assault on London, (and maybe moscow sbr + assault too eventually?)

I’ve always, always, considered AA to be the largest load of bullshitty in the entire A&A series.  And to make matters worse, Global tends to have both more AA rolls in general, and more important AA rolls, than the other A&A games.

interesting assessment.  are you saying you would like to run it low luck?

@Veqryn:

we mutually agreed 2 rounds ago that you would probably do sealion, and it became definite last round

cow has been building units in london every round since it was a possibility from the start of the game

i did notice that cow built 3 inf in london 2 rounds back.  by no means a max build.

i would be very happy to agree to low luck AA rolls from this point forward… that way the fate of the game would depend more upon strategy right?

i know cow would never agree to it because a big part of cow’s strategy IS TO get really lucky.  :-)

Churchill is so deep in a bunker that he can’t receive communications

for the record (for those watching) i sent cow a PM saying an intercept and scramble decision were needed.  the only reason i did it is because that sends out a notification to email which he may have seen before logging on to the site.  :-)  don’t want anyone to think i’m sending cow mean pms…  :roll:

for the bombing run over england, since tripleA does not correctly handle bombing runs on multiple facilities, it will have to be rolled on the forum.

i am going to edit the map to remove the bombing run and will roll the dice on the forum.

here is the AA fire

at tac (bombing airbase)
Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (4)

at bombers (bombing IC)
Rolls: 4@1; Total Hits: 14@1: (5, 4, 5, 1)

1 bomber down.

airbase damage
Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

IC damage = combined dice + 6
Rolls: 3@6; Total Hits: 33@6: (6, 4, 2)
