Amazing How We Are So Often Blind To Something We Have Never seen.  Never had to worry about an Italian trn in z95 lol

[boldfresh]

I do think i have plans you are unaware of as well and maybe you could learn something.  It could be a valuable lesson and you will still win the game.  Up for it?

[wheatbeer]

I can think of one thing … but it’s roughly a 1 in 6 shot.

You can go ahead and reload your 7 Americans and 1 Brit.

[wheatbeer]

Actually, maybe we’re not thinking of the same thing.

I forgot that we started this as a no-tech game.

[boldfresh]

Do u want to change your Italian buy so something other than des?

[wheatbeer]

Nope, still keeps the one American in place.

[boldfresh]

@wheatbeer:

Get ready for a fun discovery.  You will crush me still I’m certain.

[wheatbeer]

Buys the Allies 3 or 4 extra rounds.

ok wheat, your prize for allowing me to compensate for the ridiculous blind spot i had is for me to enlighten you to a blind spot of your own.  bombers from rio can hit egypt - keep that in the vault for the “ace up the sleeve” moment of pure desperation.  i set it up perfectly except for not thinking of the destroyer in 95, part of my rush on the move.  i thought long and hard about the move, but not about that “minor” logistical issue.  :lol:  surely it didn’t help that i’ve been far too busy for far too long… i was so excited about the solution i had found to postpone your victory for at least one more round that i just couldn’t wait any longer to post the move - the wise thing would have been not to try to rush a post before the end of the day.  :-P

@wheatbeer:

aha!!!  just saw you posted this.  nice work  :-)

[boldfresh]

this game is so much fun, i just can’t bear to see it end!!!  :-)

scramble in z95?

[boldfresh]

the incredible thing is that you put a destroyer in z95 even not realizing the bombers could reach egypt, and thinking my chances even with the ground troops were less than 1%.  geez wheat, you really are aiming for top of the league this year!  :-P :wink:

I am not above overkill  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

3 German fighters scramble into SZ95

[boldfresh]

accidentally clicked through on round 1 egypt, killing my tank.  obviously intend to keep a tank through to the bitter end - a fighter will hold it’s place throughout.

[wheatbeer]

Ok

[boldfresh]

hit only once with the destroyer in z95 round 1.  geez lol.  what will you lose?

[wheatbeer]

Italian dd

[boldfresh]

good grief.  couldn’t land on n italy but tripleA forced it to happen.  now i can’t delete the infantry and change back to italian owned.
