That’s probably (hopefully) true. Sometimes my aggressive opening works out great and other times I get stymied and bogged down.

At what force level would you have given me the option to scramble? I dunno if I would have TBH, but that fight looked like one that I could have traded UK and French fighters 1:1 for German.

Seador

and just to be perfectly clear, I dont want to go back and do it or anything; this is purely a game philosophy question.

Odds were it would’ve been a 2:3 trade.

@seththenewb:

Odds were it would’ve been a 2:3 trade.

And I am OK with rolling that battle on the forum if you want.

Like I said, I dont want to roll back the clock, I wanted to know your thought process for not asking. In another game, I had a player dive my subs even though I had built them to be cannon fodder to allow my DD an extra shot at his subs.

It’s just interesting how different people interpret risk levels.

seth4god

I sent just enough that I didn’t think you’d scramble, a single air less than that I would’ve asked.

Typically I look at a couple things when deciding to scramble or not.

TUV difference: Will I gain more or lose more by scrambling. Battle went from +5-6 in my favor to +12 in my favor had you scrambled. Hence losing proposition for you to scramble. Expected TUV change still was in my favor had you scrambled against 1 fewer fighter/tac. But it was marginal difference and maybe worth it. Less a fighter/tac and now the expected TUV change swung in your favor, dropping from +5-6 for me to +1-2.

Importance/Payoff Does scrambling prevent something that could impact the game. IE, US landing in Norway or maybe Denmark for a can opener. Maybe clearing a blocker would expose a fleet to another friendly power. Not really applicable here.

Win Percentage How much do the odds change if the air scrambles? 99% to 91% doesn’t really impact things too much. But 91% to 70% is suddenly a lot more viable.

Attrition Which side is in better position to replace and/or absorb the losses. Who needs that air more?

I don’t have a hard and fast formula and I try to weigh the above to figure out whether to scramble or not. And a lot of times I internalize these things and just kind of eyeball it. If it’s big enough, important enough, or close enough I might run some calcs and figure out what I should do.

Axis have met victory conditions in Europe. The allies have 1 turn to retake a VC.

I see two possibilities, Rome or Cairo. German air will be flying in to support both and your odds at either are already pretty low. I’m fine with you taking a shot though.

I don’t think I need to, I know the game is over even if I recover one turn. ill post the loss.
