L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

[gamerman01]

I don’t see a save file…

[gamerman01]

Oh, I just need to make that one edit, no problem

[gamerman01]

OK, edit was in file but not in that summary, I now see.
So, I’ve got the file I need.

I’ll use the edit mode to figure out what your transports at the Philippines are carrying. I don’t mind it, but it would be a good practice to declare in the game notes or on the forum.

[gamerman01]

Looks like 3 different transports with 1 infantry, OK. :+1:

[gamerman01]

Hmmm… this is getting good :crossed_swords:

Now… what to do… :books: :bomb:

:flag-us:
:flag-cn:
:flag-gb:

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 yeah intention was one each

[gamerman01]

Should be a quick turnaround on another challenging US/UK move! Wrapping up USA now

[gamerman01]

Through China so far, in case you’d like it

Your turn for brain pain :confounded:

Makin’ me WORK!

[gamerman01]

You’re making me play almost conventionally, like a mature player. It’s kind of nice, every 5 years or so.

[gamerman01]

Just realized I forgot to load UK artillery on US transport at EUS -

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

[gamerman01]

Oh. Um… I’ll try to answer in private message

[gamerman01]

These are angry dice.

French fighter against what should be about 3 individuals left standing in Archangel.

[dice 1d6<4]

Grey dude
[dice 1d6<3]

[dicebot]

1d6<4: 1; Hits: 1
1d6<3: 2; Hits: 1

[gamerman01]

Well, it COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

:imp:

The 3 individuals left had heavy weapons on them.

3 hits in a row by infantry, that is hard to swallow

[gamerman01]

Not in a row, but it’s a 2.5% regardless. ANZAC failed against Italian tanks, and fails hard again. Good riddance.

I think US airstrikes on this front went pretty well, will have to check

[gamerman01]

It’s your turn to get bad dice!

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Damn! I haven’t seen anyone airstrike versus Germany before. I’ve heard that air striking in China is not even cost effective. What happened to your conventional plays?
