Yeah, I’m glad the Frenchie missed.  I was prepared to lose my bomber

Scramble to 91?  If so, make sure you specify whether the American one is going, of course…

You have a fighting chance!  Risky for both of us…

Probably wise
I have a retreat option, you don’t
I’ve lost 3 precious German fighters for not much when scrambling in two different playoff games this year alone

Holy cow I only got 1 hit in the Baltic States.  1 or 10, I guess there is no difference

Now it’s my turn to apologize for luck.  Man, that turn went perfectly for me this time

@wittmann:

Off to school with Maddy, so will check out the carnage you have caused in 90 mins. Please don’t wait up. Goodnight.

Good to know, thanks a lot

At least the sub in 91 is dead anyway, as long as it doesn’t roll a 1 on you.  So a destroyer hit in 91 would have been fairly meaningless I guess.  But I took chances in 125 and 114 and the dice just blessed me this time……

The Russians are in it now!  Unfortunately, they realistically probably don’t have a single attack  :-(

Just remembered I needed reinforcements for the bomber in Greece…. maybe Bess is a little vulnerable now -

That’s what happens when you go from double to single screen…. didn’t have my notes up.

@wittmann:

Don’t know what double or single screen means. Sounds like you are watching two thjngs simultaneously. Nice, if you are.
Looking forward to a few turns of stalling defence, but don’t hold our much hope. Perhaps I can only hope to get enough units in Moscow to prevent your taking it early. But then you can make money in the South instead.

You show a good understanding of G40

Italy never does thsi well against me. I pride myself on keeping it poor from the start. Thatis my first Allied strategy and goal.

You even got good luck attacking 97, and I didn’t try attacking the 2 ships in 91 on G1

Smart man, making a gutsy attack…. you’re no pushover

Double screen means I have a second monitor hooked up where I can view other applications (calculators, spreadsheets) without covering up the first screen (map).  Dual monitors are very common in workplaces in America - I assumed they were common in Western Europe as well
