L20 Gamerman01 (L) vs AetV (w/o Iwo NO)

[gamerman01]

Scramble fighter to 113?

Lose Destroyer first? (Or you can wait for die roll, of course)

[JDOW]

Is there any scenario in the world where not to scramble would make sense? The Russian suicide mission in 113 is a „no ask“ situation to me.

[gamerman01]

@JDOW You’re wrong. My cruiser could take out his fighter. If I don’t ask, he could protest that he wouldn’t have scrambled

[JDOW]

Isn’t there cruiser, sub, dd in 113? One fig to scramble?
Why should one not scramble and give the Russian a shot to win instead of making this a suicide mission?

[JDOW]

And sorry for bumping in. Just want to get the right feel for „no ask“ situations.

[gamerman01]

No, he has a transport, destroyer, cruiser with 1 fighter. He moved the sub out.

I need him to say that he will scramble in case I get lucky and wipe out everything, don’t want him to be able to say he wouldn’t have scrambled. He IS risking his fighter.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 please scramble.
Thank you for asking.

[gamerman01]

You bet, I’ll roll so if I hit you can choose a casualty

[gamerman01]

And… you got the 25% chance of no losses. I’m having a hard time hitting your good units so far

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 sounds good to me

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 wow

I feel ya.
Got a game going were I have to suffocate each time. These are the games where you come back to your senses and realize, nothing is for granted!

…me dropping the microphone now…😎

[gamerman01]

hehe, much appreciated. Not a very nice welcome back, but it’s fun to have a challenge… so far.

Not a suicide mission when you have 2.58% chance of winning, and 22% chance that the sub survives

[JDOW]

alright, ic.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, if it was 2 or 3 planes I wouldn’t have asked
And when you initially asked, you thought the sub was there, which would also make a huge difference

[JDOW]

So aetv is dodging some bullets. 81, Yunnan, 113. The start was very rough but I guess recently MARTI said it is payback time.

[JDOW]

Oh, and not to forget TJ.

[gamerman01]

He’s dodging them like Neo
I thought the G1 was about average. No losses in other places like 91, 106, or Yugo and didn’t take everything into Paris, leaving some infantry behind.
Yes, that’s 3 battles where he lost less than average planes. That 4th German bomber is going to be a headache. Already is.
