@Marshmallow:

We gots a problem here, as you haven’t been asking for intercept and scramble orders. I absolutely would have intercepted in W Germany to clean out remaining US air units in Europe, but you never asked.

Next time please ask even if you think the answer will be no.

Sorry I didn’t think you would intercept since you had no chance at my bombers. And would like to keep your fighters for attacking and ground defense  You didn’t have any scramble decisions that turn.  I’d be more than happy to roll out the intercept battle if you would like to.

No need this time.

No need this time.

I see you also assumed no scramble into sea zone 112 which would have turned your 100% battle into a 31% battle. I can’t think of any justification for making that assumption.

In the interest of moving forward I’m just going to ignore this, but please don’t make any more assumptions about intercepts and scrambling in this game. Ask each time.

Marsh

Yep, you’re right – no scramble without base. I realized that about ten minutes later.

Work turns your brain to mush :(

Thanks for the game. I enjoyed your European effort and your Russia recapture. You’re correct that oob is unbalanced, and if BM were purely an effort to balance out of box instead of add new mechanisms and rules I would probably enjoy it more. I’ll refrain from soapboxing further.

I missed an opportunity on J13 to guarantee a win on J14. Was kicking myself for that.

Please let me know when you’re interested in another game!
