Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

[Witt]

Balls to you, with knobs on! Was close to 50/50 and the possible gains were worth more to me. I play a fantastic Japanese holding game and I dare you, to the point of pistols at dawn, to deny it.
No one can leave anything dangling for me. I will bite. Hard.

Glad you are back. Look forward to seeing the new hair cut.

[Elrood]

Adams new haircut:

[Elrood]

I had calculated differently for the defense power of sz42… sth around 18% chance for jap. But i missed some units obviously. Thats what i dont like about this game. Its easy to miss something on the sea if you are not very careful. And at best you click through to your opponent and try locally what he can send against you.

But i think the sz42 battle went ok for allies. I mean lot of units gone and america is quicker to rebuild i think. Also took pressure off india i hope.  :-)

[Private-Panic]

That haircut is the one I have down by those dangling bits Leo is threatening to bite. :-o

Elrood put it back on the Carrier. Did you not want it there? Sorry if I misunderstood.
Cannot reach Cairo, only Johannesburg though.

Afaik it CAN reach cairo

1 Attack move from SZ 71 to SZ 70
then 3 NC moves (Congo, Sudan and then Eygpt)

Would be fine

[Private-Panic]

Done the J fighter to Egypt.

Trying to do the UK and have a couple of questions:

1. Had in my head a max scramble of 3 air which I just tried to check in the rules, which say any number of air units. Can someone please confirm that there is no max to the number of planes scrambled.

2. In checking that I see that the rules say can scramble from an island - but we scramble from non-islands all the time. Did that rule get changed?

Thanks
Adam

Yes that all changed between 1st Ed and 2nd Ed. of A&A 1940

1st Ed: Scramble any number of planes from islands with an AB
2nd Ed: Scramble up to 3 planes from any coastal territory with an AB
