Scramble to Taranto?
L15 - Ghostglider vs. Boldfresh (+15)
-
whoever takes allies already has the win - this has been true every game in our series - pretty wild eh? can the axis break the trend?
-
ghost, aren’t you going to need more german boats? :-o
-
both cruisers hit? sweet well that helps a lot.
and both hit on a three right? man i’m going to have to remember that - that’s the best dice i’ve had in quite a while. obviously the best in all recent memory is the last time i had the allies against you so….

that is just WAY beyond ridiculous.
-
as usual, i catch a little break and then give it back X 2.
-
zero hits for 17 punch round 1 in z99. your response? three hits with 12 punch. incredible.
anyway, i clicked through on the battle, i mean to keep a ftr instead of the tac, if you’ll allow it.
geez.
-
no to mention the follow up in syria where there was another miracle defense. what in the world.
well, i just went from thinking i had this one easily won to thinking i’m in trouble.
-
there were supposed to be 5 aircraft sitting on cyprus with syria wiped out and maybe even a damaged acc in z99. :? :?
-
bottom line, the axis can actually afford trades when they are that favorable. sheesh.

ghost, i just realized i mobilized incorrectly - meant to put one of those carriers in the atlantic. if it would have changed your italy then just leave it as is.
-
also i’m quite glad you didn’t ask me if i wanted to scramble into z92 - i probably would have had to strongly consider it, knowing i need to get really lucky back after that UK2 sucker punch!

OK to change placement of AC
