@simon33 Ok. Now I’m rethinking the last post. The advice is real, but it looks like gamesmanship–trying to talk you out of an attack, which is not the intent.

So to be transparent, if you don’t attack and build up again with max forces, I will run. If you want to kill the Russians and Brit AF off, now is the time.

I was just trying to say that I really hate to have dice have very large impact on outcome of games. However, as the attacker, you will get to see what happens the first round, and that will probably decide a lot.

Enough said. Game on.

@simon33 Aha, I understand. These are my die. Which means I did very well.

In that case, it is probably best to sink a carrier, a destroyer, and then 2 tacticals. I guess the computer would suggest so as well?

@FranceNeedsMorePower no, it’s a case by case basis, particularly when aircraft carriers are operating where the planes can or cannot land. Your planes can land therefore carrier hits are not as useful.

@Avner I’ve played several aggressive games with the Italians, and each time everything seems to be going well. Then one bad attack and the Italians are vulnerable.
