I want to clarify a few things before we start:
Are we using battle calculators? Are we sending the files to each other here or over email? The play by email function is broken (technical issues) on my end, so we can’t use that (we’ll just have to use the local game function and I’ll track dice to ensure neither of us are cheating). I hope this is okay. Are we using research and development/tech rules?Post League Game Results Here

Is failing to sink the SZ96 TT fatal? I don’t think I’ve ever recovered.
I normally send 3 units at it, or at least a fighter/tac. 2.5% to 7% failure rate (depending on what you send and whether a transport survives) is too high :-)
Hmm, and then bring another fighter from London to Taranto?
Seems to be a yes.

No, still 2 planes. Destroyer from the Egypt fleet + 2 planes

The first warrior to fall in the playoffs. Me1945 (first seed and 2017 finalist) is definitely tough.

Axis took but failed to hold Cairo and lost the Med, and Japan was being pushed back fairly quickly.

BSD over Karl7 Allies.
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41465.45
This is insane, BSD three times now has trounced me soundly because of the dice. I am aghast but also amazed. He WALKED into Egypt w/Italy round 1 on a total dice flop. He had 35% chance and got it easily. This basically was the end of the game. I played on for fun and the outside chance I dice may flip back. They didn’t.

That one won’t count until you both have 10 games played
BSD is kind of new around here so thought I should point this out

Ok, so he needs more against other players to make them court, correct?
-
Yeah, and you too, though we all know that won’t be an issue :-) :-)
Once the 2nd one of you hits 9 games completed, I count it because it would make the 10th. You won’t have to report it again, I’ve noted it (this is more for BSD’s benefit - I realize you probably know how this works Karl)
And if you don’t want a guy to attack a key stronghold early in the game and get lucky and succeed, you might want to look at lower than 35% - just my thought :-)

Hindsight is 20/20, right?

I guess, but you’d think that 65% of holding a territory is pretty good. Plus if his attack failed, as it should’ve, the Italian fleet would’ve been destroyed etc. So it was a risky strike that he claimed was to prepare the zone for a german airblitz w/1ftr 2 bombers to clear the zone. But I could restack no to mention build out of the mic I put there UK1.
He basically was going all in on taking Egypt, willing to sacrifice the Italian navy, Luftwaffe etc, which is fine. Maybe he could have done it, maybe not, but it SHOULD have been costly. But in any event, he managed to just walk in on a lucky roll, throwing the UK into total disarray.
It’s like BSD came to lay siege to my strong fort, but one of my guys left the side door swinging open and he walked in and stabbed all my guys in the back…. :-P

Yeah, I it was a strafe by Italy to set up a German air strafe, followed by an Italian take on Karl’s round one Egypt factory. None of the strafe were needed because Italy got lucky on the open.
-
Aha! So it wasn’t even a defense against a single attack. Oh, Karl, your Egypt was doooomed :lol:
-
In Karl’s defence, that third attack might not have succeeded. With a force on T-J and some planes in the Red Sea and mobilising troops, I make Egypt a 10% win to the attacker. FWIW.
I would have done a sea lion actually. That way the Egypt factory would have been neutralised and quickly fallen.

Exactly. Sure, the Axis can go all in, but it’s dicey. They can’t do a full double hit until R3. They may get, but at massive loss if the dice are fair.
