I assumed scramble to SZ110. It was a winning scramble.

A 1 bomber on 1 fighter SBR is a negative expected value. I couldn’t get in any escorts. It would have been 3 on 4 and I didn’t like the idea that the USSR IPCs were worth that much more than the German ones.

So yes, your Russian fighters were a major deterrent.

I also knew that the sub in 109 was trapped and needed to attempt a breakout.

Not sure if you would have scrambled the French fighter instead - you can edit that.

@majikforce:

Thanks for the analysis.  I was trying to come up with some counter to the devastating turn 1 attack and subsequent bombing runs.  I sacrificed ground units but it also takes a couple turns before you can bomb and escort so I figured it was worth the risk.  The escorts are the key.  Also I keep getting test rolls from you.  Not a big deal just letting you know.  I will look at the fighter thing later tonight.  Thanks.

Don’t worry about the test rolls. I’m trying to get the combat move post after purchase for combat move first games.
