[JDOW]

Indeed, this was very annoying and the game is tense, this can definitely matter. Axis look stable but a big and rich US/UK move incoming. Interesting to see!

[666]

@trulpen I assume scramble out of Germany…OOL?

[JDOW]

A massive 1/2 attack but with so much buffer in form of subs and carriers and with such a big UK follow up this looks like a good move to me.

it all depends on the dice gods

Definitely full scramble. OOL depends on the dice. Too important battle to make some standardized decision.

I’m also off to a chess match soon, so might not be able to make decisions for a few hours.

[666]

@trulpen, chess match, nice!

[JDOW]

GL for the chess match.

May I ask, what is your ELO rating?

used to play at chess.com

[666]

5 sub hits, ool?

[JDOW]

I played at chess.com, too.

But although I know a lot of Grandmasters (it is weird, I guess it is 6+ I know, 3 of them 2600+) I am just a hobby player that would be rated about 1800 at best if I ever started playing seriously.

Trulpen, how about you?

[trulpen]

Thanks! 1940 atm.

[JDOW]

@666 said in trulpen (X) vs 666 (A+8) BM3:

Luckbox.

but btw, no need to ask for OOL after sub hits. This is just a tripleA flaw. As Axis has DDs present he is allowed to see the full roll before deciding on OOL.

Thus, you are forced to make assumptions (such as tip BB and 4 Carriers) and then might be in trouble in case you e.g. whiff everything then and the opponent says “Well, nah, just tip BB, 1 carrier, and sink 3 subs”:D

But I am afraid nothing we can do about

I understand, just not sure how we get around this flaw? without asking for OOL?

Solid. Many people fail to understan how diffcult it is to get in the 1900-2000 range and how much work is required for that.

I once had a phase in which I tried to become a 2000+ player, motivated by the “crowd” of GMs that could support me, but I then lost the motivation when I realized how hard it is to progress in chess.

Thus I ended up playing A&A^^

[JDOW]

@666 As said. Assuming something (usually max defense), then waiting for the rest, then ask for OOL and if it differs from your assumption, roll the rest in the forum…

oh wait, forum dice have never been installed, big trouble then^^
