  • Scramble 2 from scotland and 3 from london to z109, kill ze germans :wink:


  • Oh, crap!  Might need to use the ol’ retreat option!


  • Slight miscalculation  :oops:
    Forgot both territories could scramble to 109!!

    Sure hoping you don’t paste me in the first round, and then I’m outta there!

    My Scotland fighter bid is even more effective than I knew  :oops:  :lol:


  • 109 is the last battle

    I lucked out, scoring 4 hits

    What do you lose?

    G1 snake casualty choice 109.tsvg


  • 1 destroyer 1 french fighter 2 british


  • OK, and I assume you will want to land survivors in London - edit if no

    Hopefully we get a reasonable defense roll that’s not too slanted either way…. this could set the tone of the game right here…


  • Got my wish - 3 hits
    Slightly in my favor - nothing ridiculous

    Now, what to do, what to do


  • Nice, I won’t be able to get to my turn tonight but will post in the morning.


  • No problem, I just really appreciate the scramble and casualty choices coming in such a timely manner
    Thanks for the FYI


  • Well, I failed miserably with 2 subs against the cruiser.  So the Italians are threatened by these 2 fighters

    Dang tough call, but my instincts say to press.
    I’ve been burned by my instincts many times, though….


  • Whew

    Again, a pretty fair result, although overall I got somewhat lucky in 109….

    I lucked out getting 2 hits, and then you luckily got 2 hits

    Transport survives

    Fair enough!


  • Freaking Italians had better appreciate it  :x

  • Yep, I acknowledge I was fortunate to take out 5 fighters and a destroyer when I had completely overlooked 2 fighters that could defend  :oops:
    In my experience that happens pretty often.  Dice bail out the player who overlooks something, and punish the player who cleverly makes a shrewd move.  I call it “the curse of the clever”

    Well you shot down a bomber, 2 tacs, and 2 fighters and your cruiser sunk 2 subs in Z91, so it could definitely be a lot worse for either one of us.

    Good start!

    (Sorry - it’s just the volatility of G1 makes me anxious - don’t want the game to be wrecked for either player right out of the gate, you understand)

    Game with you tomorrow, then!  :-)

  • when I saw your z109 attack I assumed you had a trick up your sleeve but I guess not lol, I was definitely expecting to crush your airforce there. Next one the dice will be mine!!

    You’re probably right.

    Recently in my game with PGMatt he completely diced me hard in Z109 and London on a G3 Sealion, but then I turned around and pasted 8 of his Japanese infantry in Manchuria with 13 infantry alone, losing only ONE infantry.

    You roll enough dice, it tends to even out, usually  :-)

    Off to church now…. gaming this afternoon


  • Sorry, man, I am on some kind of lucky roll
