[LuckyLindy]

Waiting for a casualty choice in Z5.

Cheers

[gamerman01]

Destroyer, of course!  With your submarine gone, I can’t think of a single reason to lose the cruiser at this point  :-)

Come on, double hit!  Make him pay for trying for Z5 and Poland at the same time!

[LuckyLindy]

Well, I only paused because I did buy a submarine.

Z5 taken with ac, battleship - fantastic defense by the German fleet.  I think it was a good chance for the Brits to take Z5 without loss or only a submarine.

I don’t see no submarine

[LuckyLindy]

Aha, you are right - i was going to buy a submarine and a cruiser at one point.  I changed it to a destroyer, fighter in the end.

After all that you only lost a meaningless sub and destroyer?!  Dammit!

66% chance of losing nothing or a sub
84.4% chance of losing sub and destroyer or less
93% chance of winning with at least a battleship

There was a 4.5% chance that I survive with a cruiser or more, and you would be attacking Poland with naked air for at least one round, and you would not be able to attack any land this turn (Norway lies vacant).  That was a very aggressive move, IMO.  :-)  You got away with it.
