I’m all-in now. Haven’t done one of these in a while! Should be fun :-)

[FMErwinRommel]

Never tried this, you have 70% odds.  In my new game with Bismarck, me as Ger turn 1, I lost 2 air in sz111 and he scrambled 3 fig in sz110 so I lost 4 more air.  Plus 2 Ger subs against Canada both lost and Canada dest survived.

[Colt45554]

Yeah ive been reading along. Sucks to lose that 106 battle. I sometimes prefer to gamble and send 1 SS vs gibraltar cruiser

[Colt45554]

I think when i ran through it i had better odds but either way it will be costly

[FMErwinRommel]

It didn’t occur to me until late last night that UK could have taken steps in T1 to protect itself better and even set up for a possible delay of Sea Lion.  Not building the trans in T1 is smart, in case Ger T1 loses more air and subs or UK moves Med fleet to Gib.

[FMErwinRommel]

Your attack power increased noticeably by swapping out armor for inf.  Bismarck’s UK of combined fleet to Gib would provide a strong defense in Eng Chan, forcing Ger to use air.  Also, Ger has flexibility to amphib to St Pete instead.
