JDOW Axis vs Simon (Allies+8) BM3

[JDOW]

Went about 2 planes above average for you, but still good enough for the Germans.
Actually, scrambling 110 has a better return on investment for UK than the scramble in this turn.
As said, usually, German players refrain from that attack with Luftwaffe only, but with 2 subs as buffer, the attack is good.

Are you counting the effect in the SZ110 scramble where you can take hits on the BB?

[JDOW]

You can just run the numbers and look at the expected TUV change. In a standard 110 attack the TUV gain for the German drops significantly against a scramble.
For this 92 attack, the TUV change remained the same, scramble or not.

[simon33]

I don’t completely agree. I’d rather kill 10IPC of planes than 20IPC of BB G1 as the allies. The BB might be able to be killed later and it normally only gets one roll.

[JDOW]

fact is: Many players don’t scramble when they should and let Germans get away with greedy openers. And yes, the scramble gains significant value in case the Bismarck goes to 111 instead of 110.

Interesting. You’re ignoring Leningrad to go after the greater money on the Southern route. Haven’t seen someone go that way for a while.

[JDOW]

Leningrad is overrated, all the matters is the South, Leningrad always falls “en passent” sooner or later.

Perhaps this game is already over. Forcing Japan to forgo IC purchases J2 when they didn’t buy any J1 seems a minor victory but you’ll catch up. Not having many ground troops might have been a problem for Japan had they not been able to hold on in Yunnan C1.

The funny thing is if I’d followed my dubious theory on getting a US landing on Norway US3, I would have been able to pull it off this game. The Luftwaffe wasn’t thinned enough for the fleet to fight and survive but I guess surviving UK ships could have merged with it and put some hurt on them if they attacked.

And if I had have not been stingy and bought the US naval base US2, I’d have had options to go after the Carolines. Interestingly, that doesn’t look so great anyway.
