Eqqman (Allies +3) v. MiamiUMike (Axis) - G40.2

No scramble.

@miamiumike:

German 1 map loaded. I am already dead I think - after what happened against the French. You hit 3 out of 4 rolls, I hit one out of 7 - with much better dice. Lost 3 planes - not going to be able to come back from that well…total dice job. Oh well…

One of the reasons it’s not recommended to send any German planes into territories with AA on the first turn…

Ignore that comment, I was looking at the wrong battle.

That was a rough go vs. the French fleet, but I wouldn’t call that game-ending.  If the game is weighted towards the Axis, you can afford a loss or two in the battles that don’t matter so much.  Killing the French isn’t too big a priority since Italy can just do it, and aside from acting as blockers those ships can’t do much beyond being annoying.
