Soulblighter (Axis) vs. Whackamatt (Allies +15) TECH TOKENS 14L

@Whackamatt:

I disagree on the scrambling. ��The odds state that you are pretty much guaranteed to win, and on average, you may lose 2-3 planes for my guaranteed loss of 4, which puts any operation Sealion that much closer to realization.

I used to scramble, but the odds played out as they should most times, and bad dice for the UK on G1 means I threw away planes FOR NOTHING. ��Many times has that happened, which makes Sealion a 100% chance regardless of purchase. ��From a pure mathmatical standpoint, scrambling does not make sense if Germany brings everything. ��Only when Germany tries to skimp and doesn’t use the battleship, or the subs, or only half the planes, do I ever scramble.

Scrambling to Z110 is a waste. I agree. Especially in this case, but Z111 is almost always a plane and probably more then 1. So that depends on how you wish to play or look at it. But that is preference. Shame the tech didn’t score a hit for me. I was hoping for a rocket base to start bombing london :D.
