@DoManMacgee @kwaspek104 okay - you already went but I was going to point out and offer to give you back 4 IPC bc the UK should have attacked the E. Poland forces and exchanged the UK bomber for the two inf and arty there.
Instead of giving Germany 79% on Moscow, they would be reduced to 59%.
There is a short list of other deficiencies on the allies as well which can be easily corrected in a future game. I just wanted to point out this particular situation right now.

@The_Good_Captain said in DouchManMacgee (G) Vs. The Dream Team (TGC/Kasper) (Allies) - AAE Round 5 ~No Sealion No Problem~:
@DoManMacgee @kwaspek104 UK should have attacked the E. Poland forces and exchanged the UK bomber for the two inf and arty there.
Can you explain this one to me? You potentially lose 1 FTR/1 BOMB if you roll poorly in exchange for 3 HP. If you pull off the idea move then yes you only drop 1 Bomber in exchange for the land units but that is a strangely risky move.
I’m willing to rewind to B3 if you want to manually restore the game-state and replay from there.
-
“ideal move” not “idea move*”
-
Well, if you remember why you wanted to trade bombers for transports or risk the air attack on @kwaspek104 transports in the previous game, then I feel I’m pushing at an open door.
But I can articulate it further: Given that we are sitting on only a 21% chance to win as the Allies, it makes sense to place a bet in which 75% of the time, we destroy these three pieces in exchange for a single unit that is otherwise useless on defense and thereby gain an additional 20% chance to win. There is even a further argument that @kwaspek104 should have ensured this outcome by launching his bomber at those units in order to ensure fighter survival. But we would like to take the house odds at this point.

for all the marbles (or not, who knows)
UK fighters [dice 2d6]
UK bomber [dice 1d6]Germans [dice 3d6]

2d6: 2, 6
1d6: 5
3d6: 3, 5, 1 -
You guys got your ~25% outcome. GG
