L16 1/2 Final Play-off Me1945 (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies+30)

[gamerman01]

With yet another complete AAA whiff, your odds have gone up significantly even though you hit 1 below average

So I’d better lose all 3 AAA

[gamerman01]

That looked painful.  Not upset about the AAA any more then  :oops:

Glad to see you not upset. :-)

[gamerman01]

You are so nice
That battle could have ruined our friendship  :lol:

Don’t give me a credit. I’m rather a cynic and don’t wanna hear dice complains when I win. :-)

You aren’t going to win, so no worries  :-)

You hit 2/3 AAA and I scored only 11 hits.  What do you lose?

[gamerman01]

I guess it’s only 2/3 of a hit below average after taking off half of my airforce

Ridiculous

[Me1945]

Lose AA, inf, 7 mech, 2 art.

[Me1945]

You aren’t going to win, so no worries

I feel nostalgia of playing with Boldfresh hearing this. How he is doing?

[Omega1759]

!

What were the odds in Bryansk for both of these battles? You guys are slugging it out.

[gamerman01]

Actually that’s hilarious because you remind me of him all the time.  He is the only player who is similar to your style.  He is doing great - just had his third child, his first son, and business is going good.  Too good for A&A I guess.  His boy is beautiful - very smiley, very happy

[gamerman01]

@Omega1759:

!

What were the odds in Bryansk for both of these battles? You guys are slugging it out.

Me had about 50% but would have had 65% if he had brought the 4th bomber

After the AAA missed and his first attack, his odds were up from 50 to about 75

My odds on the counterattack are about 27% but I have a lot of infantry and he only had 1

[gamerman01]

What’s really crazy is that this is eerily similar to game 1 between us, but sides are reversed.  I attacked hit and run with the Germans around Ukraine, it went poorly, and Me made me pay for it.  Big time.

[gamerman01]

Punished like you were…… yeeeowch

Thanks for saving me all the calculations. Both battles seemed pretty even at a quick glance, but sometimes it doesn’t take much to swing it one way or another.

I remember that, it was followed by opening of Turkey and a landing in the Black Sea…

Omega, you are the next in the query. Will post over the weekend.

[gamerman01]

Well that was bad but next round should be 8.5 to 10 and I have cheaper casualties, so there will be a lot more bloodshed

But it appears you are dodging a silver bullet here
