[boldfresh]

oops also infantry to iraq

[Karl7]

I assume IF i attack 110 OOL its right up combat value with dd saved as long as I have ss?

[boldfresh]

just roll it, i’m online…  round by round.

[boldfresh]

i think i have given up my advantage in this game.  now it’s gonna be a
dogfight…  :-o

[Karl7]

Hmm… I ran the numbers.  Not predicted a victor for me… 110 – interesting.  I guess 14 hit points can go a long way on defense.

[boldfresh]

go for it karl, i gave you the opening by doing a silly thing and sending the entire fleet into z110 in a blind rush…

[boldfresh]

that’s one of those battles where anything can happen…  a very high stakes fleet war.

[Karl7]

my instinct is to go for it, BUT:

1. The japanese fleet has limited offensive capability

2. if I get routed, it will open the UK to invasion and put the axis back into the lead

3. if I continue maneuvering I wil grind you down

But if I win, I think that will open Spain for a Europe crush.

[boldfresh]

tough choice…  :-P

[boldfresh]

i would GO FOR IT!!

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

i would GO FOR IT!!

you are WAY overdue for some great dice.

[boldfresh]

don’t think too long, go with your gut.
