Tirano (X) Vs. Ichabod (L+17)

@Tirano:

Max scramble both, British fighters taken last. You forgot my sub in 91, I will edit it in on my turn.

I’ll add it. Yes forgot. I’ll have to re-adjust my initial turn…so I’ll ask for OOL again. I wouldn’t attack a cruiser and a sub with a lone sub.

France rolled well…UK sucked.

I wish it was the other way around…rather have my mechs and artillery in Paris than all of my ships…same TUV for same TUV amount.

@Tirano:

Wow what a G1.  France went great and only one German sub was killed.

Exactly. It was really not a good G1. Sub optimal for sure. It’s easy for the UK to kill the capital ship and then Germany is just left with 2 subs…and only 6 tanks on Paris…woopty do.

@Tirano:

I also suspect you were attempting to strafe Yugo but killed it first round.

Nope. I hit Yugo like I did almost every game and capture it. I don’t leave too much for Italy because in my games Italy is usually struggling just to defend it’s own capital.

No Scramble.

Agreed that Sea Lion is usually sub-optimal.
