I am performing a bombing raid on London.

You have two fighters against my bomber. Intercepting will give you 3 chances at rolling a 1 to stop the bombing.
I will assume you want to stop the bomber, so I’ll intercept your two fighters and roll.

If you would prefer to not intercept, then we can remove the result of the interception.

[arathorn]

Crap, the air battle did nothing, and then your aagun shot me down.

I’m bombing UK. total of 7 planes against your potential 3 in interception.

I presume you won’t intercept. If you want to, it won’t stop the bombing because I have 3 ftrs with me.
But feel free to reroll the air battle should you want to sacrifice your ftrs.

Since I am bombing different facilities, I am rolling the dice for aaguns and damage here.

Disregard the dice you will get for the bombing via MARTI

You got 15 damage. You had 4 from before. I will therefore edit one damage down to total of 19 in the game, since the game rolled full damage.

a small issue happened on frances turn.
I meant to decalre war on japan but plowed thru the turn quickly and forgot.
May I edit the french at war with japan, as i meant?

I think I have to say no, because the German turn was based on it.
I’m lenient with edits as long as dice has not been rolled, or if it doesn’t affect anything.
Both things have happened here. Sorry man.

[Major Major]

france being at war with japan affected germanys turn?

[arathorn]

Yes. I will explain how after Russia has moved.

[Major Major]

i guess you will win.  i dont like playing this style game.
Luckily there are enough players interested in winning by strategy, not just winning for false status to play against.

@Infrastructure:

Excuse me! This is a matter of strategy and tactics.
You see, the way I see it you didn’t realise the consequences of your moves until after my G3, since you had expected Germany to take London (100%) and by that bring Russia and USA into the war. That is why you DOW’d with Anzac, since you were sure USA and Russia would be in the war with London falling.

But suddenly you gave Germany the incentive of waiting one more round to keep USA and Russia out, and you let Japan have a 98% on India without having to worry about USA. That is what you realised, and that was your tactical blunder that I followed up on with my German move. Also, Germany will now for sure take London G4, and be very strong against Russia and USA.

I am sorry man, but this was about strategy, and nothing else. I don’t go for cheap wins - however, I do take the wins I have honestly earned, even when they come fast.

If you want to continue, that is what I want to do, but if you want to call it, then I’ll take the win, though I’d prefer to see it played out.
