intercept over Moscow?

[majikforce]

Don’t have access to the map right now. Can’t remember how many fighters I have in Russia?  I’m thinking 2.  If so then its 4 bombers vs 2 fighters.  I will intercept.  If its less <2 then no intercept if its >2 still intercept.  Maybe you’ll feel some bomber love like the US did in Asia! :wink:  Happy hunting!

Soviets only had 1 fighter on Moscow, so I did no intercept per your orders.

Your facility aa fire did shoot down 1 of the 4 bombers though.

GG!  I had fun.  3 things doomed me.  I’ll never not attack italys navy turn 1 again.  I had 1 bad purchase with UK which doomed London.  And my US bombers got crushed in Asia.  They would’ve been real handy against Egypt.  You played great D in egypt and took advantage of my aggressive builds to sack London.  Good work.  I just couldn’t get Japan folded up soon enough.  I like your play style its very challenging to play against.  One question, did the brazil factory and naval base cause you any worries?  The idea was to get subs and ships into the Med in one turn, probably works better if I dont let egypt fall.  I’ll post.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, I had fun as well. For a few turns after London fell, I was afraid you had enough leftover British units and Soviets to take it back. If Egypt had fallen back to the Allies, that would have made a big difference. Was pretty suspenseful.

I wasn’t too worried about the Brazil complex/base, but with UK sea/air support it might work better. Does make it easier than defending both sides of Gibraltar.

You did stall me in Russia for longer than I planned. I was coming up with all sorts of plans for how to get around you (like sending loaded transports from WGR/SZ112 to SZ125/Archangel).

[wheatbeer]

Also, let me know if you want to switch sides for a rematch  :-)

[majikforce]

Thanks for the feedback.  I would be up for a rematch.  I will set it up either tonight or tomorrow.  Cheers!
