G40 BM3 akreider2 (allies +12) vs Majikforce (axis)

@akreider2 said in G40 BM3 akreider2 (allies +12) vs Majikforce (axis):

Hmm, do you think building an airbase in gibralter was a mistake? It might be if the Italians just get it. Though if the Italians hold Gibralter, and I don’t get a big advantage elsewhere the game might be mostly over.

It’s a good move. The US will be coming soon to help out. The allies have to hold Gibraltar. They can’t get locked out of the med.

I guess you assumed correctly that the French fighter wouldn’t join the air battle. But stating assumptions is good.

You are right. I forgot to inform you. I am just so used to people not intercepting when there is no chance for the interceptors to shoot at a bomber.

@akreider2 said in G40 BM3 akreider2 (allies +12) vs Majikforce (axis):

I think you mean bad odds, not zero chance? (Just making sure I know the rules here.)

No I mean no chance for the interceptor to hit the bomber. You had 1 fighter to intercept with and I had 2 escort fighters and 2 bombers. My escorts and bombers would all roll 1 die each and hit on any 1’s. Your interceptor would then roll one die and hit on 2 or less. Even if you got a hit I would just lose a fighter. Now your factory AA would then have a chance to kill my bombers at 1. But that is always the case when bombing.
