I have to scramble three, please.

@Credulous:

Done. You lost and two fighters and two bombers survived for the Americans. I’ve now rolled the attacking dice for the first round in SZ37, and let’s just say the Americans have done rather well….

However I can’t process the casualties until I know Adam’s ‘Casualty Strategy’.

In rank order I would imagine its probably battleship damaged, carrier damaged, destroyers, carriers destroyed, cruisers, TACs, battleships destroyed, fighters.

But maybe you’d rather preserve planes at all costs which would make it:

battleship damaged, carrier damaged, destroyers, carriers destroyed, cruisers, battleships destroyed, TACs, fighters.

Or something more complex?

Just let me know…

Cred

I would expect “maximal defense” … thats what the engine suggests and offers you as standard casualties.

But Adam must say

@Credulous:

Leo’s advised me to go best defence so I will crack on on that basis.

Cred

yep. its a safe bet

Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the dogs of war!  :evil:

Your best round, Cred. Well done.
Could have gone Japan’s Way though. I did it twice in Local and the US lost both times.

did you add Fighters from Queensland and Iraq?

No. Did I miss that they could reach?
My first mistake, not that I would have been in this situation if we had not DW on one. (Sour grapes, I know.)

Or maybe Germany left Japan hanging there too long due to late Euro-DoW?!  :wink:
