Ooh, you stayed and took out the fighter.

I stayed, yes. Ideally I would have liked to score 2 hits in the second round, leaving only the fighter (or the damaged battleship), but I scored 4/4.

One of the rare occasions where more hits are not necessarily better. But am I going to complain about 4/4?

See how I did that? :innocent:

[MrRoboto]

Away with your voodoo

[MrRoboto]

Are you still unsure what to do with the pesky yankees?

[gamerman01]

Just playing China now, when I saw your comment (your poke didn’t make me go ;P)

Just here to say I rolled 5 1’s when I only needed 1

[gamerman01]

I’ve been buying a house over the last week, and I guess my normal job has to take next priority. Then Me, then elche, then you. And then there’s all the video games I like to play

[gamerman01]

Scramble to 97?

UK1 97 scramble.tsvg

[MrRoboto]

You know what?
I’m gonna scramble all 3!

[gamerman01]

Crap. I could lose the game right here.

[gamerman01]

Got my expected 3 hits
Since I have a sub, I’ll stop and ask your casualty choices

Thank you,

UK1 97 casualty.tsvg

[MrRoboto]

UK1 British casualties.tsvg

2 hits with my 3 planes

[gamerman01]

OK, normally no one rolls their defense dice but it doesn’t bother me.

Triple A is wrong to require casualty choices right now, so I reserve the right to change choice after the ships roll, because that is when the rules require it.

[gamerman01]

Take both hits to carrier but depending on the other 2 dice I can completely “change” my casualty choice. So go ahead and roll the next

[gamerman01]

Well, there’s no need to wait for you on this step, I can roll your 2 ships on forum so that I can make my casualty choice and roll round 2. First I’ll see what you took off…

[gamerman01]

My casualty choice does end up being the carrier, then your ships got the expected 1 hit, and I took off the destroyer.

Sub hit and sunk the battleship, then I scored 1 hit with the rest, and you scored 2/2.

I can’t take the sub off, so I lose cruiser tac.

Sub sinks transport, I score 1 hit, and your plane hits me back yet again. I lose bomber, so UK wins with the sub and a fighter.

We should both be satisfied (although not happy) one of the most decisive battles in G40 went close to average.

Now what will happen with the risky 111 battle?

[gamerman01]

A complete whiff by all in the first round!

Do over.

[gamerman01]

I got lucky. Very lucky.

OK, noncom and it will be your turn again.

[gamerman01]

Big hit by the destroyer in 96, but Allied player just gotta be happy they’re sunk when attacking with only 2 units
