Politics - Germans

Research Technology - Germans
            Germans spend 0 on tech rolls

Purchase Units - Germans
            Germans repair 2 damage on 2 factory_minors; Remaining resources: 58 PUs; 2 techTokens;
            Germans buy 1 bomber, 1 fighter, 10 infantry and 1 submarine; Remaining resources: 0 PUs; 2 techTokens;

Combat Move - Germans
            2 artilleries and 7 infantry moved from Novgorod to Archangel
            1 bomber moved from Southern Italy to Morocco
            4 bombers moved from Southern Italy to Morocco
            1 bomber moved from Western Germany to Morocco

Would you like to intercept in Morroco?  I sent 2 bombers against the air field and 4 to attack the space.

@Degrasse:

I think the intercept question is battle order sensitive, depending on whether you resolve the air raid first or the battle in the territory.  If you do the air raid first, then yes the fighters will intercept.  If the territory battle is first and the two fighters survive the four bomber attack, then two survivors would intercept but one survivor would pass.

I don’t think I have a choice in this actually, all air raids must be completed, then any amphibious assaults, followed by any ground (territory) combat.

So I am reading your instructions as, “yes, you’ll intercept”

So I am reading your instructions as, “yes, you’ll intercept”

As an aside, most of the time I find that order of combat makes absolutely no difference.  In fact, this might be the first time this season that I have actually seen it matter :)

You’ll see 2 sets of tech rolls for Japan, both were misses.  I exited out of the game and forgot to save it after the dice.
