Sovietschat (no bid) vs Ichado

I assume you didn’t want to move anything else except maybe the sub-sahara lone infantry? I moved it on non-combat for you…edit if back if you want.

I’m bringing enough stuff to SZ98 to assume you wouldn’t have wanted to scramble? If you did, we could re-roll a sea battle.

I brought:

1 carrier (can soak 2 hits)
1 cruiser
1 destroyer
1 fighter
2 tac. bombers

Based on the outcome of the dice at Cairo, (UK fighters only rolled 1/3 hits on the land battle), it’s in your interest to opt for a re-roll sea battle. Perhaps they throw 3 hits 1st round and Germany’s sea units/planes throw a whiff, then you have a chance to win the sea battle and keep Cairo.

It’s not game over for me if I were to lose that scenario. It would be a huge setback on the investment made, but in this game, I think Japan has the chance to create attention.

It’s my fault for not asking first if you wanted to scramble. This is a PBEM game; which means I need to have some patience.

Ok…thanks. I just thought for a moment I jumped the gun on the SZ98 and Cairo battle. Battle calc had a sea battle were you to have scrambled at 99%, but I’d have lost some valuable stuff.

I understand your point about wanting to kill more ground units…cause that’s what you actually hold the land with.

I’m sorry the pilots missed 2/3.

Despite the Cairo situation with the planes only getting 1 hit, you just had a nice victory in Romania though…no AAA hits (which is of course unlikely), and killed those tanks. 32 TUV score was definitely something to be happy about.
