Boy do I need to go the US/UK turn at least to averages…

Need decisions, please:

3 figs in W-Germany can either intercept my strategic bombing mission there, scramble to 112 or to 113.

[seth4god]

I think you need above average for UK. I only see 25% for sz113 when the Brits hit, unless there’s something I’m missing.

[seth4god]

Scramble 3 fighters sz113

OOL in that sz is the scrambled air, unless I’m missing something and my fighters can land on the carriers. In which case, 3 tac first.

[seth4god]

Just double checked the rules and I will lose the 3 fighters first. My only recourse to land on the carriers would be if W. Germany was captured, then my scrambling air would have 1 space to land on a friendly carrier or terr.

[seth4god]

OOL after the 3 fighters is dd, 2tac, tilt + ac, 2tac, tilt+ac. I hope to God that you don’t need more than those 3 fighters though.

Please roll sz113 on the forum as triplea will mess it up. My subs shouldn’t fire first. I’m trying to decide what my best course of action would be, but I think just going with best D is probably best for UK turn. Assuming US doesn’t get more than 3 hits, let’s say

tilts, 3ss, dd, cv, tac, ftr

[lexgreat]

You miss the bomber from Egypt, but anyway, I again made a huge thinking mistake. Of course you can take as casualties the scrambled fighters, I never thought of that, and hence your force in 113 will be undamaged, no help for the UK as I was hoping to maybe hit once or twice.

My thinking is inferior to yours…we will see how all goes, but if the Uk will not prevail in the 113 attack, I will surrender the game.

[seth4god]

I did miss that bomber, hopefully my troops don’t miss him! Ouch that changes the odds quite a bit.  That bumps it up to 50ish% . . . doh. I wanted the 3 fighters in W Germany to force you to send more air to W Germany if you wanted to take out the AB. Now I’m wishing those fighters were in sz113, or that I’d built more naval units there to stop that invasion.

Ask for OOL for UK in sz113

I’m short my 2 fighters in sz113

[lexgreat]

Just saw that the computer put three fighters back to W-Germany. I had two hits, I take them from those scramblers and put back all air to 113 that belongs there.

[lexgreat]

No worries Seth, I am not thinking well sometimes, but I am not a cheat.

[seth4god]

Probably best you rolled on the forum anyway since we’ll both have subs in combat and triplea doesn’t handle sub combat correctly. And I didn’t accuse you of cheating, just wanted to make sure they got in the combat since the game hinges on this outcome.
