There’s no point leaving a CV, 2 fgs., and a TT in 50. ANZAC could attack with 3 figs, DD, and CA and stand a 83% chance of winning. I’d rather have 3 figs and 2 tacs on the Solomons. Will revise tomorrow.

You win. I needed that SZ111 battle. I feel like you’ve had some luck in this game when it’s counted. Perhaps +10 for allies is enough on low luck, I just didn’t have the luck with me this time? What do you think?

Game History
Round: 16 Purchase Units - ANZACCombat Hit Differential Summary :
-
I’d have to go back and review… I ended up in 3 games as Axis and at one point it all 3 were in the same round 12 so its a bit blurry which game is which.
Here I think UK’s failed sea zone stack at the beginning hurt since it let’s Italy run wild for a little while, forcing UK to exert a lot of effort.
Russia stacking Karaelia round 1/2 was a minor mistake, loosing a valueable stack of infantry, forcing you back to your capital as Germany ran south.
Even in the end here, if you had moved some subs away from Italy to help attack Germany’s fleet… or noticed how weakly defended London was before I did, this game might still go your way because of my screw ups in the Pacific.
-
That puts us even at 1-1. If you want to do a third game I’m in. Doesn’t have to be right away.
-
Do you want the same sides or swap? Still low luck?
Yeah, smashing the SZ92 stack was a major setback for me. It was a 36% attack, I think 18% chance of a draw, so a pretty dodgy attack. It was only that good for Italy because you hit in the SZ96 battle. Otherwise I would have had a tac in the fleet as well, can’t imagine you making the attack in that case.
-
Do you have a preference?We can flip for Axis if you have a preference (I’m actually fine with either) I’m back and forth on low luck. Kind of like not having the wild swings like, in one of my other games I whiffed in a battle despite having like 95% odds and plenty of things attacking at 3 and 4.
-
I reckon swap sides. Which gives you allies+10. Placements?
-
Something goofy to try… a destroyer in sz 106, the 2 ipcs to UK
-
You know, as I think about it, not sure what preserving that transport would really do for me long term…if I’m not too late, how about a transport in South Africa and 2 ipcs to Russia
