I went with the assumption that you wanted to scramble into 109, since your planes were safe pretty much. As it turns out, I got VERY lucky, plucked the dd and then got out….

bump on up!

On Germany’s turn, I attacked into sz109 to try to kill your DD - you had the option to scramble 2 planes (which could only be hit by my fighter) and I went ahead and scrambled them. In the end, it did not make a difference though.

Well - I had to risk the Italian bomber to open that door - but, I thought if that worked, killing those 6 planes would be a huge boost to Germany…even though I had to divert a lot of other land units as well…

Sure - you want same sides and bid?

First - GG on the previous game - was a bit of a different play for me to be sure…

As for a new game - that works - 11 bid to you for Allies - what would you like to do with that?
