both posts should be same - do you scramble off Rome this time?
-
LOL “this time”, that’s funny
This is why I wanted the German fighter here and then I decided to have it suicide at Iraq. Another sad tale.
So it’s a tough one.
Subs dive, fighters stay on Rome. The destroyer fights alone
You did realize the German bomber on

uh, Caroline Islands … I missed its implication indeed!

I would have brought second dd - but not without your hint!!
-
LOL I didn’t realize I didn’t finish typing. I really didn’t want to surprise you that way.
You’re playing so many gamesChange your placement how you want - that’s why I said something
-
I also have a bomber on Jehol that can reach 25
I do want to remind you, especially because I had made a change in my German NCM with them
-
very kind! let me reconsider indeed - but I am totally fine with leaving as is, too. Only because I didn’t roll dice I wanna at least take second look … enjoy your meal meanwhile ;)

“placement” does include movement in this case?

Oh yes that’s what I meant. Play it like you knew the 2 bombers were there the whole time

It’s not too bad for you anyway - Hawaii is surrounded by little green men but please do how you like, it’s what I expected
-
at the moment I am hesitating at accepting your generous favor - so I guess that I should go to bed now and redo tomorrow from US turn on . Glad that no combat had occurred! A pleasure to play this game with you
-
I’m really happy you appreciate,
Take your time, I sure doI don’t feel it’s generous, given all circumstances I want you to know what’s there, you certainly would face to face, 1 vs 1
And It’s not a bad move at all what you did, Caro transport can reach Hawaii and it’s very truck to navigate anyway. But still, make sure you get the move you want
-
Tricky. On a phone.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
-
not that many changes in the end … but to be admitted that I didn’t move US dd from sz81 now - might also affect your scramble decision off Rome though I doubt it
-
Oh wow, that is a dramatic change, which is fine
Yes, US destroyer affects the decision, but you’re right I still won’t scramble, and subs will submerge
-
I didn’t consider it a dramatic change so I can be mistaken … good to go for rolling UK dice?
-
Yes, it’s all good, I was just stunned that you went with a very different approach off California and no airbase, so am adjusting to the new strategy! It feels like a better approach!
No dice were rolled at all, so I’m glad I invited you to change it up and I’m glad you felt free to do so! Game on!
