G40 BM axis-dom (+6) vs nerquen (allies)

[axis-dominion]

yah that was a great failure on my part, i didn’t even calc 42, for some reason i assumed there was no way you could stack it safely. and it didn’t help that i got so unlucky in palau that lost me another fig.

just really bad on my part, and then combine that with this horrible luck, i basically threw the game.

[nerquen]

major naval battle at 75% odds are often game deciding (in either way). Well… if you are going to strike Egypt… then the luck might swing back there, but right now the Java battle is the most decisive battle of the whole game… all the other battles so far are peanuts compare to it.

see: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l09gIjw_72aS-1iaiRcqQWVt3SGjKciQs8AJHNvGjyg/edit#gid=0

now I have to actually think if I really want to stack Egypt and offer you a possibility to swing the odds back in your favor. I frankly did not expect Germany to do such a dedicated purchase against Egypt and did not expect Japan to hit my Java fleet. Have to reconsider the situation in the light of the last events

[axis-dominion]

yes that’s true, odds could go very much my way on this next battle, or if not this one then maybe another one later on  :evil:

but if you decide to hand me egypt without a fight, i will gladly take you up on that as well.

hey man not sure how this happened but I totally forgot to buy 3 AA’s for Egypt with UK which I planned since ever

[nerquen]

would you mind if I switch 2 fighters in London for 3 AA’s in Egypt? and save another 5?

[nerquen]

well, I know this is a league game. Feel free to count it as a league victory if you prefer. I don’t mind the league much. But would be much more fun for me to actually continue the game with planned 3 AA’s in Egypt for an offleague game.

[nerquen]

I guess I was put off by the unexpected Yunnan outcome in Chi14 and then my mind was busy thinking how to optimize UK position post Egypt battle that I totally forgot that I still have to buy those AA’s for Egypt.
