And off we go! I mean down we go, if we are talking about the fighter that crashed into the ocean in East Canada Sea Zone. Not a good start of the war for him.
Good luck and have fun!
@pejon_88 not at my PC so can’t open it. But noticed the file says j8 but it should be j9. I assume that is just a typo but just checking in case you posted the earlier file
@farmboy Thanks for checking. It’s J9, just wrong name. I have three games ongoing around the same round hence the hickup!
Just a small number of NCM changes.
@pejon_88 UKcombat.tsvg I assume you are not going to scramble but thought I should check before proceeding.
actually, I might reevaluate whatt I bring to that battle. One sec.
here is the updated one. 2 cruisers and another destroyer are staying back
@farmboy can you quickly write the odds and TUV and I’ll give you the answer. Not at my cpu right now.
@pejon_88 attacking with 9 fig, 2 tac, a bomber, 2 carriers, 2 battleships, 3 destroyers, 3 subs, and a cruiser. You have a battleship, 2 cruisers and 2 destroyers in defense with the possibility of scrambling 3 italian fighters and 3 german fighters (from yugo). However you scramble, my odds are 100%. If you scramble the tuv changes from +60 to +81 (in my favour). There is no amphibious attack with this.
I did two battle estimates with 2000 run count
@farmboy excellent, thanks. Love it when the TUV gets worse when scrambling 😂
No scramble thanks.

It was a hard choice to stack India given the odds and it may be very foolish. But I figured if I don’t than you take it without having to commit your air. And I’m hoping I’ve put enough pressure on you in the pacific that you might have to reconsider. Very curious what Japan is going to do. And Germany too.

@pejon_88 I’m very excited (and nervous) about Japan’s turn. :)
@farmboy I don’t think I could with a justify or even survive an attack on India.
I believe that the Mongolians correctly turned Soviet there, which is complete and utter bullshit. I presume the rules in this specific scenario say that you “didn’t attack” Manchuria with the USSR, but only reinforced?
