Oh, man, I left my bomber exposed? Uncharacteristic. Well, you might have got unlucky and if you survived your bomber wouldn’t be in a great spot, but definitely my oversight. I guess I had German ships on my brain!

@oysteilo

Generous sportsmanship!! 70% definitely were not intended and as I recall I consider it most probable that I didn’t calculate it all but only looked sloppily at the map … life (and health) didn’t let me deep think into A&A during the most recent months and I had overcomitted to gaming before. So I am totally fine with the game over and lost; I feel this is part of this League that you have to manage meta-play too and as you said I had plenty of time to doublecheck my moves

Would you like to scramble in SZ 35?
