Round: 2 Purchase Units - GermansCombat Hit Differential Summary :
L26 PTV Booper (X+12) vs Stucifer (L)
-
Yes, adds an interesting layer to positioning.
I do tend to skip scrambles around 75% mark, especially if the net TUV drops.
I skipped the scramble off Australia in sz56, we can reroll it if you decide you wanted to scramble. doesn’t change any of the rest of my US/UK turn if I lose that battle, but it might affect ANZAC.
-
Here’s the battle for quick review:
The battle in sz56 was probably tighter than I should have skipped. Like I said, if I lose those units in rerolling it doesn’t affect the rest of my turn so we can edit them out easy peasy. If it was going to be a big deal to untangle I’d be more cautious on skipping.

Yep, no problem on this non-scramble, fine with the outcome as is.
I’ll also usually consider the net TUV swing as you mentioned. If scrambling makes it worse, 95% of the time I won’t be scrambling, unless there is some specific tactical reason to do so.
Anyways, if you’ve got a criteria you like to abide by, like 75% odds and worse TUV with the scramble to skip it, I’m good with that as well. PTV has a lot of potential scrambles, so anything to make it more efficient.
That being said, I do have a question on Italy’s turn here. Can the UK take Syria with ground and then land their planes there the same turn (ie. attack the fleet in SZ101)? If it’s a no, which I suspect it is, I will want to re-position the fleet a bit. Should not affect Anzac/France turn if you want to go ahead with your next turn.

@Booper
The formerly French pro-axis neutrals do have a minor rule difference because they’re treated as having been active already (so you can fly planes over them). But just like any other territory including pro-Your Team neutrals, you cant land fighters on them unless they were controlled by your alliance at the start of the turn. -
OK, sounds good. So the only exceptions to that are the Dutch islands?
-
@Booper Yes. Gotta love all the exceptions! 😅

Argh, I messed up on the scrambles. Didn’t realize there were so many territories to scramble to - will need to re-do this one. Sorry about that.

Interesting battle… After a very bad start, I almost won it with a surviving unit, then I didn’t. :)
Wasn’t sure if you would take the scramble. TUV made sense, but I feel like the Russian fighters are possibly the most valuable in the game.
-
@Booper They are very valuable, I thought it was worth it to kill off your northern force given your buy and fleet position. Losing Norway & Finland always feels horrible to me. But you’re set up well for pressure on both Moscow & Stalingrad so I’m excited to see how this plays out
