PtV - Mr_Stucifer vs Culann
-
@mr_stucifer Mostly I’m just hoping I don’t screw up. It’s hard to process all that information at first and the idea of choosing when to strike gives a lot of strategic options. Given a lot of minor mistakes I made as the Allies I’m not sure how well it’s going to go.

Scramble and intercept options. I assume you will intercept but I’m not sure whether you want to scramble to snipe a few infantry.
-
Err I made a bunch of minor mistakes as the Allies and a few big ones for that matter.
-
@Culann Scramble no, intercept yes, thanks!
-
@Culann I’ve made plenty of mistakes this game too, we are learning all the time. Good for the brain engagement :D
If you aren’t quite ready to play Axis I can play Axis again, no pressure either way sir
-
@mr_stucifer Yeah, I agree it’s good for the brain engagement.
Nah, no worries I can play the Axis can’t let you have all the fun.

@Culann Yeah I considered double-teaming the fleet of Greece for a bit. Thought it would be too costly for Italy long-term to sacrifice all my air force though. Don’t have a reasonable expectation of rebuilding it any time in the next 5-6 turns…
