Wow. You’ve been lucky when it’s been important.

I could keep playing for victory in the Pacific but I don’t think the Japanese can overcome the Americans.

You win, I’ll post the result.

[farmboy]

Yeah, I thought I was mostly playing reasonably well but the dice definitely decided this one.

Thanks for the game and I look forward to your revenge once I hit 10 games.

[simon33]

@farmboy:

I was ridiculously lucky with dice. I hit 3 times in the sea battle. I took the sub and carrier as casualties as I figured you could edit them back in and take the air instead.

Hmm, I should have done so.

So I guess I did stuff up here. What if I didn’t? Japan would have taken Calcutta in two turns. Italy would have attacked NW Persia*. Assuming it cleared the land units, Germany would have taken Persia, probably taken Iraq, retaken Norway and Denmark, hit the SZ112 fleet and regrouped in Ukraine.

• • Seems there’s a bug in TripleA if you were allowed to land planes there
    @Pac:

Air Units: An air unit must end its move in an eligible
landing space. Air units can land in any territory that
was friendly (but not friendly neutral) at the start of the
current turn.

So I was actually feeling pretty good about how I was doing in this game.

[farmboy]

Not sure if I was clear before. I absolutely agree that I won this on the basis of very lucky dice rolls at key moments.

And sorry about NW Persia. Didn’t realize I couldn’t do that.

Again, thanks for the game.
