FMERommel (Axis) vs Desert Admiral (Allies+16)

[Desert_Admiral]

@FMErwinRommel:

I didn’t realize how bad a shape the Euro Axis are in until I did Italy’s turn.  Ger lost too many planes trying to shore up Italy; and the collapse of Italian Africa and lack of threat to homeland, has allowed Brit to send air andl land units into Russia.  Now I know how Dawg felt as Ger in our first team game.

Trying my best to hold you off.  That’s why Dawg was very frustrated you weren’t helping him.

Small piece of advice if you don’t mind for the future.  Never make an agreement with an opponent without discussing with your partner.  Most of us didn’t think it was right.

[FMErwinRommel]

I know Dawg was upset.  In the future, I will consult my allies.

One battle lopsided my way, one your way.  Attacked Smol with 9 units attack power of 26 vs your 6 units defense power of 14:  Yet, I rolled 3 hits, you rolled 4 hits.  I had hoped to kill most inf and retreat after first round; rather than capture and leave too many units there.  In Novg, I made 7 of 8 hits (over kill) and you made 0 of 4.

Another lopsided set of dice rolls.  I rolled 6 of 7 against Shan, but there were only 2 defenders and they both hit.  So I lost both land units and didn’t take Shan.  But in Burma, I rolled 0 for 4 with power of 12, while the sole defender hit my only land unit.  So I didn’t take that either.  But the Chinese lost and Allied blockers sank without hitting me.    So I won 2 battles with excess units, but failed to take 2 terr because I lost all my land units.  It seems like there are too many lopsided battles.  Would like to have a general who could give some bonus to a more important battle.

As a rule I generally try to take 1 more land unit that the defender.  Those rolls happen…

Sometimes 2 more.
