Oystello (Allies) vs simon33 (Axis) BM3

@oysteilo:

That was a cruel result in Moscow simon33. Taking out 3 out of 4 bombers is way above average and just 3 in damage. I was hoping for 2 bombers down and 11-12 in damage……

Yeah, it will be uphill from here.

Scramble from Guam?
Intercept in Calcutta?

I’ve just run the numbers - looks like there’s a mistake somewhere but it seems that the most likely result is 2 bombers remaining and over 20% of losing 3 or 4. Probably not worth the attack.

Oops, there’s no attack on Calcutta.

There was a question though - scramble from SZ54?

Yes. I didn’t like the result of that battle though.
