Sigh - looking at this I see, even though I thought about it while determining my Turn, I forgot to post the Combat Move. I guess it is going to take me some time to get that habit ingrained. Luckily no game freezes so no edits.

Waiting for a casualty choice in Z5.
Cheers

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!

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.

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 battleshipThere 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.

Chance that I lose a fighter in Manchuria to take it?
Less than ONE percent!
Right up there with my escapades with Japan last game. Losing a cruiser in Zone 50 on round 1 - jeez.So yeah, 7% chance of failing to take Z5 or losing everything including the Battleship (or higher than 7% if you would have retreated with the battleship intact) is 7 times more likely than what happened to me at Manchuria. :-) Oh well, them’s the breaks. We all get burned from time to time. UK2 was just not your time to get burned bad :wink:

Was gonna go to bed, but shoot, it’s only Italy. Let’s see if I can get them out of the way, here.
