I btw know that 5 Inf instead of 4 in Yunnan is a bit over the top. But not retaking Yunnan sucks so much ZH1, I prefer to play that one safely.

Nope, I probably would have done the same

@Gamerman01:

Happy birthday!

Thanks a lot, was fun yesterday.

Do you want to scramble SZ97? I am quite sure you don’t but I need to ask:)

[gamerman01]

Actually, it’s a tough call, but I guess I won’t scramble, no

Crowded med sea^^ But I did not find any other place for the ships. I did not dare buying a DD and this looks like the only reasonable place where the (evil) German subs don’t smell fresh meat to be slaughtered.

[gamerman01]

I think my (suspect) Axis skills will be put to the test…

[gamerman01]

Will roll 97 here because Triple A doesn’t conduct this type of naval combat correctly
And it looks like I accidentally moved the bomber to South Italy instead of 97
So here’s my roll

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (6)Rolls: 1@2 3@3 1@4; Total Hits: 31@2: (3)3@3: (5, 2, 1)1@4: (3)
The first 2 is the sub

[gamerman01]

Here is the file -
need you to choose 3 casualties - thanks

[gamerman01]

Oh, now that I think about it it’s probably an obvious choice, but it appears you are online so I will just wait a few minutes

[JDOW]

Wow, that is a tricky one.

Not sure if I should take 2 fighter + carrier hit or Carrierx2 and 2 Fighter.
the problem is you can retreat :(

Ok, I need to leave the comp, I decide:

Hit the carrier once and kill both fighters.

[JDOW]

It is far from being obvious to me!
As the fighter cannot retreat saccing the carrier will simply invite you to retreat and let the germans wipe the little rest.

[gamerman01]

True - that’s why it’s a good idea to wait and not assume - glad you were here

[gamerman01]

OK, UK dice
Rolls: 2@2 1@3 2@4; Total Hits: 22@2: (5, 5)1@3: (6)2@4: (4, 2)
