@simon33 Yes, let’s see what we can make out of it. Haven’t played it in a long time; forgot about Manila scramble.
A small chance of keeping the plane alive.

@wizmark your game…americans way underperformed…I went max def just to click through after the first round…tactical defending would have left at least 1 loaded carrier which with a scramble and your fighter unitsa left, brits would be unlikely to break through.
Intersting decision to leave germany undefended…relying on the dice to save you there…worked though!"
Yeah, I’ve underestimated the break-through in sz113 on several occasions. Kind of my achilles heel.
Well fought. Lots of counter pressure with Russia. Japan got a bit too strong though.
@trulpen yeah…takin germany and hong kong would leave you short in the pacific for a turn but I dont think I could ahve held germany for long enough to take a VC back properly. You get japan very strong very quickly…can’t seem to do it myself…always seem to get stalled
Maybe it’s the two mICs in the east of China and focusing on getting the DEI asap?
Also building 1-2 ac per turn until you get about 10 is pretty strong, capitalizing on the strong airforce.
@wizmark said in L20 trulpen (X) vs Wizmark (A+9) BM3:

Think it’s more of an over-sight than a concious decision. Have made that mistake twice this year and usually pay dearly for it. This time I must’ve just gotten lucky.
