2016 League General Discussion Thread

@crockett36 I know that complicates the software. It will only be an issue if the sub gets a hit the second round. My advice is to play it out. If the sub gets a hit, I still get a return fire at a 2 under Game: roll dice.

@dawgoneit No scramble.

Typically, I’m not going to scramble if you outgun me on the ground & air.
And if scrambling causes me to lose more TUV than without, I’m probably not going to scramble.

Just putting this out there so that if you have a scramble event, but it’s unlikely for me to scramble, you can just move on.

I’ll try and let you know in advance if I see some place where there would be questions. Like right now in SZ38 (pacific side) I might scramble to defend the DD or Malaya, unless you bring overwhelming forces.

@ArtofWar1947 No.
