13L G40 PGMatt vs. Zhukov4 (Allies +9)

[Seador]

I can see two workable solutions

The easier is as you propose.  Simply use the editor to create US forces in china for “attack” and then edit them back out after.

The other option would be to roll back to the US turn and recreate it until it looks like the map I uploaded C1.

I’ll see how today at work goes and if I can make that happen.

[Zhukov44]

Right your 2nd idea would work fine–just play the usa turn in local mode and then edit the results to match the dice.  And do the same with China.

@Zhukov44:

no scramble

Why?

[Zhukov44]

I doubt many players would scramble in that scenario.  Especially given my early rolls the risk is hard to justify.

@Zhukov44:

I doubt many players would scramble in that scenario.  Especially given my early rolls the risk is hard to justify.

I guess I’ve always played as a trader; if I get 1:1 or fighter for a fighter i take it.

That was a weird round.  Another absurdly lucky result for the Luftwaffe along with a heroic defense in Greece.  I took the bomber as a casualty round 1 cause I didn’t see an argument otherwise–ie if the brits got their average 2 defensive hits Germany would still be heavily favored to win the battle, so i figured you would want to maximize your odds of winning or doing max dmg.  Looking back that might have been presumptuous–if it was let me know and we can work something out.

Well, I can honestly say that I considered the attack posibility and had planned to take the bomber last, so I would like to swap that for one of the inf instead.

well in that case, I’ll continue with the attack, so I’ll roll it here
