L24 OOB (LL) AndrewAAGamer (X) vs SuperBattleshipYamato (L+72)

@SuperbattleshipYamato said in L24 OOB (LL) AndrewAAGamer (X) vs SuperBattleshipYamato (L+72):

@AndrewAAGamer

I felt like explaining to you my revised decision on this matter.

So I decided not to move them to Karelia because those nasty German planes are in Finland and I believe that, if I landed those high value fighters there, you would use the army and planes in Finland (the latter of which cannot reach any part of the front that would demand such a large force)) you would attack, and my battle calculator suggested in such a situation that there would be an average TUV swing in Germany’s favor of 30+ IPCs.

If you don’t mind me asking, is such an assessment correct? You may answer it at any time (if you don’t want to give “spoilers” now, I would welcome it if you told me after the game).

As Germany you left me two prime targets, however I did feel the Karelia target was more desirable of the two. If you had landed the UK fighters there I would still make that attack. The only difference is, instead of losing 4 infantry, I would lose all 8 of the infantry; well worth it.

When we are done if you like I can give you advice and some critique at the same time.
