Obviously my fault not taking the latest save. I always accept edits that were made before I did my turn.

no problem with that edit.

I probably would have Sea Lioned if you had scrambled and lost that battle. Was way too tempting.

Scary first round for italy as almost everything missed. Ended up being a completely average battle.

realized I should take Cyprus before my transport is sunk. Does that change your decision?

I love S france for that reason. Opens up so much fun for Italy and Germany.

I think I have to gamble on this attack. You are one plane short of what you should have had for this defense. Scramble?

The thing about the sz110 average is it assumes the BB lives. It usually gets sunk on UK1 so really isn’t a 20 point advantage to keep it alive.

@farmboy I have been doing pbem. Is the forum working now?

40891_01_g-end b.tsvg

Changed my mind. Want to land a fighter along with a tac in Belgium will edit later this evening shouldn’t affect the Russia turn much…

Not great, but not a disaster. I don’t think that SZ 110 scramble was advantageous for you, but let’s see how it plays out.

Two hits from the planes. Lose the destroyer or the cruiser?

@farmboy no problem, I will do the sub.

40891_01_g-scramble-ques round 1.tsvg

I am going slow in sz111 as you have tough decisions. One German sub hit. What do you want to select. Non-obvious choice

I am also very relaxed on edits; I want to win by good dice luck, not by dumb mistakes. Let’s see what happens as you just introduced so much luck into turn 1. This very easily could swing the game wildly in one direction or the other.

40891_01_G scramble quest.tsvg

Scrambles in SZ110 and SZ111? Also please confirm proper bid placement and let me know if you disagree with any of the edit policy posted above.

This game will be the 2024 playoff final assuming we do in fact meet in the match. Otherwise it will count as a regular league match
