15L Soulblighter (Axis) vs JDOW (Allies +24) Game 1

[JDOW]

I usually attack 97, only let it go in special occasions.

So “might reconsider” means? :wink:

Scramble or not?

[JDOW]

In case you scramble please clarify whether 3 figs or 2 figs + tac are gonna scramble.

[Soulblighter]

@JDOW:

Out of interest. When won’t you attack Z97? I still have time to ponder wether I scramble or not. I need to give my final answer within a certain amount of time and need to think about it.

[JDOW]

Alright, take your time.

I for instance might consider to not attack 97 in case 110 would not have been attacked or in case I might have scrambled all my UK figs G1.

[Soulblighter]

Just scramble. I have nothing to lose. If I do get diced at least that gives me a reason why I lost.

[Soulblighter]

@Soulblighter:

3 fighters btw.

That sounds dramatic. :)
So far I only heard that Allied Players made Taranto responible for a loss in case it fails because this means an extra transport and battleship for Italy.

Rolling later tonight.

[JDOW]

3 hits 97 round 1, what is your OOL?

[Soulblighter]

@JDOW:

3 hits 97 round 1, what is your OOL?

Battleship 2 hits and cruiser.

[JDOW]

Just to be sure.

I closed the client and will reopen now. Not sure what is going to happen.

So 3 hits stand, I am worried the client might create a second set of dice.

[JDOW]

Look good so far. TripleA just reproduced the existing dice

[JDOW]

So, your worried have been unncessary. I got diced.

You got 9 of 9 hits in defense

[Soulblighter]

@JDOW:

I was worried either one of us would get diced. I was also being pessimistic that it would be me. Turned out to be you.
