Not a good raid for the germans, lets see how It goes from now on
14L G40 variance (allies +12) v Balladeer (axis)
-
Request orders for scramble, kamikaze to z6. Also need intercept orders for Stalingrad.
-
No intercept, scramble 3, all 6 kamikaze, 2 cruisers and 4 destroyers.
And I missed that the USA bombers could get there from homeland, thought they were 1 movement short, but missed the shortcut north :(

Good luck dicing by the way sir!

well that went badly and I think it’s game over. I’ll post the result. Good game Balladeer
-
That 1st round return of the Japanese is kinda brutal… And the 2nd round is kinda good too… After that the Americans roll pretty good, but it’s too late, if you had the bombers and a couple of fighters left over the game would be interesting… Tough for the Japanese, but also hard on the British.
Well, thanks for playing, do you want a rematch?
-
Yeah that was a bad outcome - battle calculator estimated I would win 75%, but 25% is still 25%. If I was able to get and IC pumping units in to China I could focus on defending Cairo for a while but that`s out. I will take a rematch some time but right now I have a couple other games on the go and I want to work on them for a bit. Maybe in a couple weeks if you are looking for a game we can flip sides and go same bid.
-
hey balladeer, you up for a rematch? Same bid, flip sides? If so, let me know where to place your $12 and I will start the thread.
-
Another game sounds good, but I’ve got 5 games right now. Mind if I wait until I finish some?
And I’d like to start bidding over again, I don’t think allies +12 is enough :)

ok look me up when you are ready
