Thank you very much for kicking off the discussion,

“World War II Classic” is the one to look for.

I don’t know if you ever got to enjoy playing on that board, but the Triple A representation is a really good replica.

Please take your time.

I have wondered about your hope like this - dice coming

I think I understand,

It’s because I couldn’t bear to watch such a plan destroyed by dice

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

uh, what did you figure out…

Not sure what you mean here,

Final answer, no scrambling now, no scrambling to 97, I would rather fight the planes with my ground units

You may give me maximum defense, I tell you because I questioned you a few times before, don’t want you to be hesitant on this one, of course this one’s obvious

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

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.

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.

@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
