Noticed only 2 AA in South France instead of 3
1 from Paris, 2 from North Italy
Must not have shift or control clicked the AA from North Italy over

That’s a great catch
I thought I was activating South American neutrals this turn. Maybe it’s just as well

I’m glad you came around and gave me the scramble decision because we live on different continents and now it won’t interrupt the move. Yes, I absolutely have to attack 110 with everything there is no doubt, and you have to scramble, thanks!!

Oh well, it looks like I can still give you a really bad time but 1 delayed turn
I’ll notify the designer
I guess we are stress-testing their map

London returning completely changes the plans of the forces off Malaya. Probably forced me into a better decision

They actually caught it a month ago. I didn’t notice they fixed a border off Western South America, it looked like they were just testing how many could fit in the zones or something, anyway,

They did fix it 2 months ago but I think we have to edit because we can’t change maps in mid-game I’m pretty sure

Rolled in TripleA because I only have 2 subs and you have several ships, so picking a casualty or 2 before the rest of the dice is not a problem.

8 hits is 1/2 hit under average,
I can’t assume casualties, what do you lose?

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick casualty choice,
Now I can only dread the terrifying Red Army’s substantial increases and the war bonds roll at the end

Also thanks for the advance scramble decision, that sped up the game and saved me an interruption. I probably shouldn’t have asked for it, I hadn’t studied the UK position yet like you of course did in making the move

I just knew if I attacked 110 with everything you would absolutely scramble and hoped to speed up the game, but it was more complicated than that as you said.

But you handled me tactfully once again, and I appreciate how well you treat me

@oysteilo Well said - With such a risky attack, even slightly below average is a good result for me, there was about a 15% chance of failure to win, so I would need to save a sub after round 1 and go to the death to sink the transports for sure.

So average results in that situation are fantastic for me, and the above average I got? Huge relief.

But I totally agree, as lucky as that was I was even luckier other times
