  • GG.

    Thanks for the game. I think I’ve made the same mistake in one or two other games I’ve got going.


  • my pleasure.  you mean egypt?

  • '19 '17 '16

    Yeah, I mean Egypt


  • Egypt is a huge PU swing, yeah. and axis air is so mobile, it’s a nightmare to retake egypt.
    You do have a good offensive knack, but you leave openings everywhere when you go balls out like that. Jus’ sayin’. Pay attention to defence and income/TUV swing as well as your tactical flair and you’ll post more W’s.

    Yeah, defence is my weakness. Losing that USN fleet SZ35 near the end was a major setback, or would have been had I not lost in Europe.


  • yeah. It began with your decision to scramble 110 on G1  :-P. That was pretty ballsy

    I think that is a good decision! Reduces the Luftwaffe for Barbarossa.


  • run that through your bcalc and tell me again if you think it’s a great idea :wink:


  • It also means you can’t hit 97. You either have to build an airbase in gib +transports and air, hit 97, or build a factory in Egypt to have a chance to hold it.

    It’s a negative one TUV expected value. However, killing two Luftwaffe is worth losing more than 2 RAF IMO. I suppose I lost 3 to kill two though which may be dubious. Without the scramble, there’s a chance your BB can live. I don’t like that much.

    It means you can’t bring a second plane to SZ97 in this case. You’ll note that I still hit SZ97.

    I’m still not entirely sure how to handle it when the SZ91 cruiser is sunk. Looks like my attack on SZ96 failed which is a real problem. I suppose if I had more fighters in London I could have brought a second fighter in and used the SZ98 cruiser to sub in for the SZ91 one.


  • you had an underpowered attack on 97.
