Yeah, there is that. I had to send my troop transports a different direction than I wanted to in my noncombat move to deal with Ethiopia.

Well that sucked, lost all my units in Ethiopia. I don’t know why I kept pressing, I should have retreated (wasn’t paying attention I guess).

Restating my last post: Is this one of the cases where I can ask for you to roll the destroyer’s hit?
Should I have said something before the battle? (I didn’t think about it, still getting used to the system.)

In the battle for sz111 I typically take a cruiser before I take a destroyer if you have submarines left. This means that I would have still had a destroyer to fire back with.

No chance :)

I am wondering though if I couldn’t do better bids. The artillery in AE Sudan is good, as is the Submarine, but the Destroyer? Hmmmm. Oh well, will leave it as is still.

No, I need to learn how to better protect the UK. Lets just call this a ‘trial run’ and do a reset to the start of the game.

Will you make a new thread or keep this one?

Yeah, that was a string of luck for me.

Ok, shall we start with the same premise bid and sides and just start over? See if I can improve my strategy?

Right, I was just indicating my lack of experience with Sea Lion

@lebowsky:

Told you I didnt like the odds. Made a mistake with italians, not killing french navy and needed a little more to kill them that would give me the win in London.

I really dont like sea lion, usually the odds are not that high, at least with this strategy of not building anything G1, maybe with another start its better (2 bombers + sub or the usual carrier + 2 transports)

In 1940 Europe I’ve only seen Sea Lion used once (on turn 2).
