L20 Gamerman01 (L) vs AetV (w/o Iwo NO)

[gamerman01]

So we finally have a hit. Now it’s 1 for 34
Good job breaking the tension

[gamerman01]

So you got hit on the 20th one. That means I need 7 more misses against me just to keep up with you

[gamerman01]

Whoa, looks like I finally got a good defense all around… blockades continue to disappoint though ;)

Finally the Russians get hit.
I slipped on that last one and meant to retreat from the Italian unit, but lucked out. Remain and retreat both start with re. Well, if I had missed and you had hit, there’d be no taking it back either, so I guess it stands.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 it is up to if you want to retreat.
I believe you and you can adjust the last battle if you want to.

[gamerman01]

I’m not sure you understand. I meant to retreat as soon as I lost my infantry, but I accidentally clicked remain and killed your infantry. If your infantry had shot down my plane, I wouldn’t even try to take it back because I wouldn’t expect you to believe me. That’s why I think it should stand. But on the other hand, I meant to retreat, and obviously other than frustration from getting hit 4/4 previously there’s no reason for me to remain, and I do believe that you would let me take it back if I had been hit and told you I meant to retreat and it was an accident, and on that basis the Italian infantry should be returned to the board.

Do what you think is right and I won’t complain if you put the Italian infantry back. Just give me another point for integrity for even bringing it up and not just leaving it ;)

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@gamerman01 all good. This is absolutely up to you. I will look at the map now. But as you allready mentioned it, I would not doubt a single word from you unless you would give me a reason to not trust you…

Well played! :male-teacher: I’ll put the Italian infantry back in Tambov because I believe that if I had said “oh shoot, I definitely meant to retreat there but misclicked” even if I had missed and you hit, that you would let me take it back. It was a mis-click, so I’ll put it back.

Oh, wow, that is a CRAZY string for 2s (and a 3 and a 4) on defenses on both sides going back to USA9. J9 went great, but we’ve had a full round of SICK defenses since then.

US9
Philippines (Infantry and Artillery) hit 2/3
Holland (Infantry) 1/1
Z34 (destroyer) 1/1
Z21 (sub) 0/1
Burma (infantry) 1/1, hits plane

UK9
France (AA, 3 infantry, artillery) 2/5, hits plane

Volgograd (2 infantry) 1/2

I ran it in a calculator. That was 24 hits rolling 1 1, 32 2’s, 1 3, and 2 4’s (36 total dice)

It’s .01% chance, 1 in 10,000. I will assume the extreme defenses were for 1 full round and fearlessly attack on US10 and UK10 ;)
