TheMethuselah (Axis) vs Odonis (Allies+16) G4015L - no tech

[TheMethuselah]

Two things:

1. I assumed no scramble to 35, as that’s what you chose last time and it is (in my eyes) the overwhelmingly better choice.

2. I clicked through the 37 OOL too fast to realize I had mistakenly left the cruiser instead of taking it as the casualty. That was always my intended casualty (and was my casualty last game in this situation as well). Only dice that occurred after it were Yunnan which were as expected. I hope this casualty change is ok with you. If not, feel free to edit back the cruiser and lose a 35 fighter, please.

[Odonis]

no problem!

Scramble for Taranto?

[TheMethuselah]

I’m still travelling myself, actually–back on the 10th. Sorry to delay the Taranto request, but I’d like to download and look at the board once I get back before doing anything rash. Hope your holidays were jolly!

[Odonis]

no worries - anywhere interesting?

[Odonis]

unofficial bump

[TheMethuselah]

…and I’m back now too! I was travelling through the UK and a bit of France with some dear friends. We had an absolute blast and many adventures :)

I’ll take a look at the file after work and should have your scramble order ready for you by your morning.

Thank you very much for your patience!
