@JDOW:

AD, you confuse me. Why do you place an airfield at FIC when there is no plan there this turn?

The senate formed a committee investigating on waste of money.

that’s the point, it’s meant to confuse  :lol:

What do you think, is there any hope or should I make a desperation Moscow attack?

[JDOW]

What are the odds and is there a chance to in increase the odds?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

8% if I do Moscow now, although that doesn’t guarantee victory…

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Congratulations… you had great dice in round 1 of the Moscow raid.  I will post.

If Japan wasn’t so badly played, I might actually have had a chance in this match.

GG man, altho Japan was getting trashed, you still made it intense and challenging up until the end. thanks again for the game. we can do a rematch whenever you’re ready again. if you wish, after your Alaska trip. just hmu

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Sounds good!  I will hit you up in a couple of months.  Maybe this time I will be a bit more of a challenge.

Question: would you have hit Egypt first like I did, or opted to sack Moscow before heading down to the Middle East?

good question. well I think precisely at G8, given that timing on Moscow was critical (you were a turn off), once you saw UK back out of Egypt, you could’ve swung your G fast back north and let ita work the Egypt conquest from there. PLUS you could’ve sent all your air to Sumatra instead of Phil, and then with an AB you could’ve flew them over to the ME to combine with your escaping navy to help ita take and hold Egypt, while G focused all out on Moscow.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Good suggestions.
