Farmboy (X) vs Simon33 (L+16) BM3

[farmboy]

still have to add your bid. But here is the German move. Scramble orders?

[simon33]

Interesting attack.

I’m going to full scramble (to 110).

[farmboy]

@simon33 will get to it later. You are good with the bomber price? Or if not, do you know how to change it?

[simon33]

Yeah, that was the change to BM4. There is no way to change it. We could agree to edit it I suppose, or we could restart to use combat move first.

[farmboy]

@simon33 I’m fine to leave it. I’ll continue the move. But if you decide you prefer the other, than I’m happy to adjust. I remember trying out the 14 ipc bomber a few months ago but didn’t realize it was made standard.

I’ve been pretty lucky so far

Nice to get a bloodless in China but the real debacle for me is that the scramble backfired.

[simon33]

Lucky that gamble in SZ96 came off. Thought it wiser to gamble there than SZ97 though.

[farmboy]

@simon33 yeah that worked out well for you. I don’t think 97 was too bad for you either, although it could easily have turned out much better. Your rolls were poor, but mine weren’t amazing and I just beat the average tuv by just 5.

I was thinking about sending the DD to SZ96 but decided that better to gamble bigger for lower stakes in SZ96 than smaller for higher stakes in SZ97. If that makes sense.
