[boldfresh]

you can run the moscow sbr.  both bombers hitting the IC.  decide if you want to intercept and roll it on the forum.

[boldfresh]

Obviously I reserve the right to change my noncom if any bombers do not survive.

[boldfresh]

can you tell me if you want to intercept in moscow or not?  i know you have internet connectivity issues, but if you can tell me, i can finalize the turn.

cheers

[JDOW]

yes, intercept please.

[JDOW]

Please run the battle on the forum then.

Dogfight over Moscow

Attackers fire
Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 12@1: (4, 1)

Defenders fire
Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (4, 2)

[boldfresh]

1 russian ftr spirals to the streets below.

Aa fire
Rolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 12@1: (6, 1)

[boldfresh]

As does a bomber.

Damage
Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (5)

[boldfresh]

7 damage to complex and remove a bomber from nov and a ftr from moscow and you are good to go.

[JDOW]

that was a tricky and imo good move, setting up temptations and traps. The Novo stack was of course clear after you moved the IT tank in, but this creates an unusual situations for the Russians and makes their move complicated….

I hope you believe me that leaving 6 IPC unspent was an obvious miss click and that I of course wanted to buy 4 instead of 2 Inf and thus spend all IPC. I took the liberty to edit but you would need to confirm.

Sorry!

[JDOW]

One sec please…

nice convoy rolling.

anyway, the only real combat was z39 - if you want to
scramble just go ahead and run the battle.

[boldfresh]

you have too much material wheat!!!  and i just keep getting
bombers shot down (4 in last 2 turns i think?)… in addition to smothering me in russia.  probably going to need to take some time to decide what desperate strategy I will try to employ here.  any chance you want to make this a full luck game from here on out to spice it up a tad and give me a sporting “chance”?  ie, no LL rerolls?
