[farmboy]

Bid is sub in 98 and fig in Malta.

GL and HF!

[farmboy]

Bombers are set to 14 and I can’t see where to change that. I’m fine with it, but not sure why they are not set to 12.

[farmboy]

still have to add your bid. But here is the German move. Scramble orders?

[simon33]

Interesting attack.

I’m going to full scramble (to 110).

[farmboy]

@simon33 will get to it later. You are good with the bomber price? Or if not, do you know how to change it?

[simon33]

Yeah, that was the change to BM4. There is no way to change it. We could agree to edit it I suppose, or we could restart to use combat move first.

[farmboy]

@simon33 I’m fine to leave it. I’ll continue the move. But if you decide you prefer the other, than I’m happy to adjust. I remember trying out the 14 ipc bomber a few months ago but didn’t realize it was made standard.

@farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Simon33 (L+16) BM3:

I’ve been pretty lucky so far

Nice to get a bloodless in China but the real debacle for me is that the scramble backfired.

[simon33]

Lucky that gamble in SZ96 came off. Thought it wiser to gamble there than SZ97 though.

[farmboy]

@simon33 yeah that worked out well for you. I don’t think 97 was too bad for you either, although it could easily have turned out much better. Your rolls were poor, but mine weren’t amazing and I just beat the average tuv by just 5.
