You were kind enough to show me your strategy in the video, so I thought I’d better give you something interesting in response. :)
The North Sea battle was a disaster (Cunningham is fired!) but otherwise I am satisfied so far.
No scramble
More carnage in Pacific.

Oh, also, I did not scramble for you in SZ112, as I thought it was suicide to scramble 3 fighters against my 6 fighters, 3 carriers, 1 cruiser, and 5 destroyers on the US turn. If you want to scramble, let me know and we can sim out that battle and adjust losses accordingly.
Alex, haven’t heard from you in a while, are you still good to go with this game?
@booper Yea I’m still good. Work this week was crazy busy so I havent had time to play back. I’ll try to play back this weekend.
@booper I had some good rolls there. I thought I was screwed after round one.
I did forget to move my tanks in NW Persia. But I only realized after I had completed my combat move phase. Oh well.

Man, I thought that fight in Norway was close to a 50/50. Ah well, hard to fight against the dice. Oh, I didn’t submerge your sub in SZ113 as it would have been a 50/50 fight then. Let me know if you would have chosen differently, and we could re-sim it.
@booper Yea the Norway fight was a 60% fight in my favor. I had to add the cruiser to get that though. Otherwise it was like 54%. I got some great rolls on round two that really helped. I had to risk it cause I couldn’t the US own that.
@booper Man, another big blunder. I clicked on your airfield instead of your factory… Do you mind if I just add the damage to the factory in India instead of the airfield. There was no reason to attack the airfield. I’ll keep the damage the same. If not thats fine too.
avb-jap-07.tsvg
Sure, I’ll adjust the bombing damage.
@booper Boy that was lucky!
avb-ita-07.tsvg
@booper Strat bombing Moscow. You want to intercept?
No intercept
