ABH and crockett36, (A+69) tutor game

    Calling squirecam, no limit, trulpen, world. should I scramble? I think I should scramble into 109 with both Scotland and London fighters. 6 vs 6 with me throwing 2 pips more. Probably 55/45 my favor and the transport is saved in a draw. Take the Scottish and French as casualties first. My losses would be fractionally more expensive since my first loss is 2 ipcs more expensive. My vote would be to scramble out of both air bases into 109 and charge the pilots to shoot straight and pray a blessing on them.

    the cleverist spin I can put on this is that he is attempting to blunt the English attack on 97, betting on even odds.

    I suggest a full scramble (5 figs) to z109, with the hope of taking down some german air. The upside is that you might save the tr, the downside is that the aggressor dictates the battle, so he has the choice of continuing if it goes really well or aborting if it doesn’t go well enough.

    Anyhow, the Luftwaffe is more valuable than RAF at this point, so I’d say take the shot at crippling it. Basically it’s a crap-shoot, but I believe a scramble is worth it looking at the context.

    Taranto is not the best of moves anyway and there’s also a chance that there will be exposed german fleet in z111 that UK wants to attack.

  • @crockett36 Germans get 3 hits from the planes in Round 1 of 109. Such an important battle that I will do round-by-round.

    Orders?

    Nothing else than max d, really, although it’s crockett’s call.

  • 2024 2023 '22 '21 '20

    Agree. The entire goal of scrambling at this point is to kill as many German units as possible while maximizing your defense.

  • 2024 2023 '22 '19 '18

    Kill kill max kill.


  • @crockett36 so destroyer, French plane, 1 Scott plane


  • Question: since this game is not about trophies or scalps, should we do it low luck? What think you all?

    @crockett36 Nooooo, keep it real!!!

  • I had been hoping to get a bit lucky in SZ109 and be able to obliterate your air force if the dice on round 1 was in my favor. Instead, I had a bloody loss. Happens.

    I do generally like taking risks as an attacker as I can flee if things don’t turn out as I had planned. It does make for my matches to be very dicey.
