BM3 Karl7 (Allies) vs simon33 (Axis) Game II

Major mistake there. I was thinking the 2 bombers in W Germany could reach Moscow this turn but that would only be possible if I took ownership of Bryansk which I didn’t. Should have hit Rostov. Oh well.

2 bombers 2 ftrs will bomb Moscow on the German turn. Intercept?

I still need the ANZAC/French turn.

I have to say that I’ve never seen this battle/outcome before.

yeah, I got luck to say the least

You wonder if it is worth losing a plane G1 to prevent such a possibility. Even if you know this will happen, probably not I would think.
