@simon33 said in 2025 OOB Playoff round 1 Simon33(L+40) vs Booper:

Sorry about the delay in this turn, I found it exceedingly difficult.

A couple of minor changes to USA NCMs there.

No problem. Yes, definitely a very complicated position!

@aequitas-et-veritas

This one we can just go max D.
Kill 3 AA, 2 bombers, and then 11 inf.

Take logical casualties from here on based on cost and defensive value.

Thx!
