16L G40 Simon33 (Axis) vs ktylu (Allies +24)

@ktylu:

I dont understand, i was 85% to win even with a full scramble. and you had 4 units survive. This game drives me bonkers  :-D

Those odds also assume that you will lose the CV first, because it has no attack. You lost the sub and fighter first. I would say that was ill advised. I would have had to completely miss for you to splash 1 fighter.

The entire error was because i forgot to bring in the carrier, i wondered when i moved the destroyer south why it didnt look right  :wink:

All is well good sir

No, I think there was a further error in your OOL. You can’t follow the calculator if you don’t follow its OOL.

Submerge sub SZ125?

Scramble from Leningrad?

Intercept in London?

Ooh, I also take Vyborg with one inf from Finland.
