Scramble orders for the brand new shiny Italian fighter to 97? Just as the PTSD was starting to set in… Well, it’s war. French are trying to mop up :O

Regarding my attack on SZ110 and SZ111 I though they were safe from any scrambling. I maxed both SZs best I could (well except one sub to be honest) and thought they were safe from scrambling. Usually you see an extra fig in Scotland or a sub in either SZ, which would make it impossible to hit both SZs safely with Germany. In this game you hadn’t put anything extra to protect those SZs, which made into a sugar trap and I bit :D

Yes exactly. You want to threaten Yunnan and Szechuan with Japanese air so Allies don’t stack in those. at least to me, my first goal with Japan is to negate Allies that opportunity.

@gamerman01 He plays it aggressive, but maybe less so now than before. The game I lost to him was I think last year when he steamrolled through Europe with Germany and suddenly he had taken Moscow haha!

[gamerman01]

That is a high compliment. I do take pride in G1 scrambles that most players refuse to do. I figured I didn’t need any of them for UK1 attacks, courtesy of the 2 bid subs. Without them, I wouldn’t scramble 4 because would need for 97. I didn’t do 97 one time and quickly lost, with Italy getting to Red Sea and India quickly. I didn’t know what hit me. So saving fleet in 92 with airbase is probably a stronger move, but I am scared of 2 Italian transports instead of 1.

And German air scare the crap out of me. You don’t know how many times I was sweating it out with Russia when my childhood rival, Boldfresh on this site, was fantastic at stacking one front, and swiftly getting back to the other.

I learned that every German plane down greatly increases my chances of holding with Russia.

@gamerman01 Yup expected and calculated for. I need to continue going by luck for a while, so scramble it is!

z absolutely had me until round 9, when he gave it away by breaking his mobile German force in Russia into pieces and I started picking them off. India should have been doomed and also the game. He gave it back to me in 1 round after 8 solids

[gamerman01]

You can’t win against an equal player if you’re too cautious, i.e. afraid of the dice beating you.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 I understand and can relate to all the above :)

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Oh wow, that’s tough. I had JDOW in a strangle hold also, but then made one tactical error (I think leaving my Italian built fleet for the taking) and that was it. I rarely build navy with Italy anymore hahah.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Fair enough! But then it’s also those times you really curse the dice, right?!

[Pejon_88]

@pejon_88 It’s getting late here in Stockholm so I’ll be back tomorrow for G2. With some luck I’ll get rid of those 2 figs in Greece ;)

[gamerman01]

Did you see my need for scramble orders in there?

[gamerman01]

I have been angry at the dice more than I should, absolutely

[gamerman01]

Oh, those 2 fighters in Greece are dead meat. I’m trying to set up some other targets because you can’t hit them all, but I don’t really know what you’re going to do. I did assume a Greece crush :D

[gamerman01]

Not too much when it’s good stuff like that! Thanks, I can’t believe I missed it

Ohhhhhh… I only read “expected and calculated for” and I thought you were referring to something I did. Got it now, sorry!
