Yeah max defense. RIP.
Well I got a -77 score from an expected +24. I think I am the one saying RIP.
Although in honesty, with less air on that fleet, US will need less force to crush it and more importantly hence less fleet displaced. But perhaps it doesn’t matter so much?
@trulpen looking at the bigger picture… things dont look good for the Axis… I might try a Hail Mary, but its a long shot. I cant believe you got me… even after the euphoric fall of Moscow

pls tell me why you didnt put more planes on the carriers in Gibralter. I’m trying to learn…its almost like your goating me into a disadvantaged attack on the fleet as I grow more desperate

I considered the fleet there very safe without more air. Can scramble 3 figs. Germany can attack with all its air, but just have too few ships to make it a devastating attack. If they’re really, really lucky it would be worth it, but most likely an attack would result in tremendous costs.
@trulpen interesting… do you just kind of see that or do you have to use the battle calculator (ctrl B) to figure just the right balance

In this case I initially went with the feeling, but checked with the calculator to be sure. The 8 subs are great as fodder and I got plenty of soaking as well (as to G too ofc).
@trulpen :cry: for me…I guess I better stick with playing tier 1 or 2 opponents. Guys on your level just dont make big enough mistakes

Oh, I make plenty of mistakes. Can’t count the number of times I’ve unnecessarily lost Berlin or Tokyo for being sloppy.
I dont think things look very good for the Axis, but what’s your assessment?

I agree. Japan is more or less finished, so the mighty US can direct it’s beady eyes towards EU.
The Allies have a strong economical advantage, so if Axis can’t win by VCs soon they’re pretty much toast. I don’t mind playing it out though.
@trulpen Is it 13 victory cities?
@max334 said in L21 #1 max334 (X+5) vs trulpen (A) P2V:
@trulpen Is it 13 victory cities?
Not sure, but could be 8 in EU or 7 in Pac or 13 total. Think it is stated in the notes.
Checked now and it’s correct.
ty. I’d hate to fold prematuraly so pls allow me to review options for my Axis

Please do that.
Can carriers scramble to a territory that only has an AA gun? I see that the rule says that only if it has defending land units.

Yes, they can. It’s only trannies and subs that won’t initiate scramble.
Also another difference is that it’s possible to retreat from an aa during land-battle.
