16L BM2.0 Mr Green (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis)

@simon33:

Odd move to attack a tank with the Flying Tiger unescorted. It’s 50/50 and the flying tiger is worth more to you than the tank is to me.

I fear I committed a few mistakes that turn.  :roll:

@simon33:

Odd move to attack a tank with the Flying Tiger unescorted. It’s 50/50 and the flying tiger is worth more to you than the tank is to me.

I fear I committed a few mistakes that turn.  :roll:

In hindsight attacking with the Flying Tiger’s were one of them. At the time I didn’t think so.
Well my initial mistake was the turn before. I didn’t count a bmb and though that a -40 average ipc swing in Yannan might deter you from attacking. Alas that bomber turned it into -25 and then the dice turned it into +10.
So I realized if you could hold Burma, build an air base and build 3 bmb in FIC you would crush whatever I could put into India. I don’t even know if you needed the bomber build and/or the airbase but with that the outcome was given.

The easy solution would have been to be less greedy, buy a counter-attack force in India and possible suffer from more SBR.
The second mistake was not to realize that the first American airmen I should have tossed at that tank was the bmb in Queensland. The third and at the resolution if things the really bad one was bad logic: While the Chinese sacrifice and the British assault on Yannan both had ~75% chance to succeed so only about 1 time in 16 a British unit wouldn’t be blocking the path to Burma I had already witnessed the Tiger’s fail when it was time to decide to build with India. At that point the odds was just ~79% so I really should have build something able to counterattack.  :roll:

I took a page from your playbook and didn’t spell out my mistake in the hope that you wouldn’t capitalize on it. Turns out you were in no hurry to capture India.  :-)

I’ve had some battles for UK in between but all of them easy battles on the Europe map. This is the one I prefer if you don’t mind.  :-)
I realized that since I opted to change the position of the American fleet, it only needed to stack up (and luck) instead of blockers, to survive.  :-)
