LG4016 Karl77(Axis) vs Simon33 (Allies) BM2

[Karl7]

lose the cv to keep the DD.

[Karl7]

You’ve got to land that ftr on the US carrier meaning you can only attack w/Anzac 1 ftr, 2 subs.

So, I will have 1 dd, 2ftrs, 1 tacb in defense?

[simon33]

Sounds right. But worth it to sink the CV though - that was my goal.

[Karl7]

@simon33:

Sounds right. But worth it to sink the CV though - that was my goal.

Yeah, I like your agreesive style!  spend the money!

[simon33]

Hold on. Just 2ftrs 1DD. The tac is already dead.

Could be worth a gamble for those 6TTs.

[Karl7]

@simon33:

Hold on. Just 2ftrs 1DD. The tac is already dead.

Could be worth a gamble for those 6TTs.

Ok, yeah, although they aren’t really poised to do anything. I’ve got three honda factories!

[simon33]

Yeah, just checked that. Moving CV out of range.

[Karl7]

This by far my most fun game right now even though I am losing.

Lots of action!

I hate when a game gets too serious and things turn into a long dance of who makes the first mistake, spending all the time on the battle calculator…

the moto should be: KILL KILL KILL!

Calculator says 3.22 defender units left on average. So you were losing planes to save capital ships on average. BTW, that assumes you lose CVs before Cruisers.

Scramble from the Philippines?

ANZAC fighters can land in Borneo.
