Scramble to SZ110?
Care to nominate an OOL? I will do the 110 battle first.
Booper (Allies+21) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM
-
tip CV, BB and lose a sub.
-
only 1 CV I mean.
-
-
I took 2 subs in the interest of keeping this moving along.
-
Oops, it looks like I took 1 more tip on the CV and 1 sub… but it may not matter. It was just the default order.
-
I think I prefer your original thought of 2 subs lost.

I think I prefer your original thought of 2 subs lost.
Ended up not mattering, as the 2nd tip maximized your defense power. The dice turned harshly on Germany’s 2nd round, and only got 1 hit. US got a really lucky 3rd round, which pretty much ended the battle.
-
I think sinking the transport fleet has probably ended the Axis here. I think this should have been a victory. I will have a think about this.
-
Very well could/would(?) have been an Axis victory if Sea Lion was successful. You were pretty much committed at that point with the transport buy. Good disguise going for it, I should have done better to see it coming.
USA did have pretty good odds to sink the transport fleet, I think it was 73%, but USA rolled very poorly, but fortunately for the Allies, Germany rolled even worse.
Let me know what you decide to do. Happy to do a re-match as well, with same side or flipping sides, whichever you prefer.

Well played, enjoyed the game, let me know if you want to go again.

I’ve posted the result.
Yeah, would like a rematch, same sides. Same placements?
-
sure, let’s do it, that all sounds fine with me.
