[Shin-Ji]

Max defense please, and scramble the three British planes.

I doubt it will be an issue, but if it is, lose the USA plane last.

[axis-dominion]

you mean you’d rather scramble the tac bomber instead of the french fig?

[axis-dominion]

just waiting on your answer, cuz i wanna make sure you didn’t miss that, as the french fig would obviously increase your odds

[axis-dominion]

i had odds of about 80% and average tuv of 40, but instead, i got jacked by the dice and ended up with -35 tuv. amazing……

[Shin-Ji]

How odd, I was sure I had posted the answer to your question about the scramble (it was “yes”).  Apparently my internet crapped out on me.  Anyway, it all worked out for the best.

THing is, the French fighter is not replacable.  I’d rather hang on to it if possible.

[axis-dominion]

you’re hitting with everything, it’s amazing. i’m getting no break…

[Shin-Ji]

For what it’s worth, it’s a deliberate strategy.  The key to defeating Japan, I’ve found, is in whittling down the land units.  Once Japan runs out, replacing them is really difficult.
