Savegame

That was a costly error. After I started over to change my purchase, I failed to click the fighter/bomber from FIC and went into it with 2 less aircraft. I had options with them after, but…

That could have been a complete disaster. I would probably have had to try and beg for some merciful concession, but as it turned out I can just eat the mistake.

@pacifiersboard That’s true, I almost didn’t even consider/calculate it, and then was surprised at the odds

Checking situation -

That one is particularly dastardly. You truly are my friend Boldfresh’s kindred spirit, and it has been too long since I had to look out for sneaky moves. Especially sneaky, because I really could not figure out the Tambov airbase, and that is saying something.

I mean, I just can’t believe it. You were obviously targeting 97 because of the Russian carrier move and I still couldn’t find it. All the boring players around here made me go dull. 😏

I almost missed that you have to land the US fighter on the carrier, so one less UK fighter can get in. So I won’t scramble.

As you can tell, I’m up way too late, so any more decisions will have to wait.

And now I’m starting to play in a Classic tournament so I will make more mistakes. There’s no way I could be playing PTV unfortunately, I can’t do the back and forth between versions.

Wait, I was confused again, wasn’t I, the fighter can land on North Italy.

Yeah, no scramble because I want you to send in the carrier.

I am almost rooting for your dice, that move is so clever. But not too much.

Talk to you later

I will scramble to the UK attack.

I will scramble to the UK attack.

Check that, I’m tired.

I will NOT scramble to the UK attack because you can only land one plane on the carrier and get away with 2 bombers. But after all the confusion you have me second guessing myself on everything. All planes will have 1 movement left, so 1 will land on carrier and the rest on North Italy.

@gamerman01

do you want me to wait with rolling so you can reconsider after you slept?

I do understand the scramble factors, what occurred to me (I mean, I can’t see finished US turn yet) is that UK planes will be able to land in North Italy, so as you said, I do not scramble, although scrambling has a 10% chance of stopping the whole thing.

As you said, I will not scramble to 95 OR to 97 either because more planes will be stuck on North Italy

this may make you think over scramble to US assault … I gonna wait

That is very considerate of you, but I’m confident I figured out what I want to do.

Do not scramble to 95, and do not scramble to 97. Those Italian pilots are heaving a sigh of relief now.

And I do hope you win and survive with at least 1 or 2 bombers
