[farmboy]

I either took the bait or saw through your trick. :)

[gamerman01]

My doomed block took out 2 Germans, nice.

The French gambit totally depended on the dice. We both have to be happy again

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 yeah that was tough. If you had one more hit your counter would have 50/50 odds with my defense. I don’t think you are going to go for it given the game, but that is still symbolically a risk I want to avoid.

[gamerman01]

I was going to hit and run even with those 2 Germans. Buckle your seatbelt - I’ll review the scenario again, of course in the event I have poor luck, but I like the round 1 numbers

[gamerman01]

You rolled 9/24 hits on 1’s on the attack of Bryansk. I’m glad they were inconsequential! But maybe I should be scared…

Naaa… all dice rolls are independent

[gamerman01]

No, I only counted infantry.

STILL, it was 9/43 which is a scorching 20.9% rate

[gamerman01]

Uh oh. Can’t get automatic +5 from Arc or a high chance of stopping the Ukraine factory.

[gamerman01]

I don’t think I even need to think about it very long. You made a very big raise, now I call it.

[farmboy]

exciting!

[gamerman01]

Yes! I like it.

I’m going to make it riskier by taking Arc for the big 5. According to my calculations, that’s OK.

Stand by

[gamerman01]

Oh that did not just happen.

[gamerman01]

Complete disaster. 2/3 planes destroyed, and 12 hits instead of the 19 that remains after planes murdered. What do you lose?

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 ouch!

[farmboy]

@farmboy if you are asking for casualties, I will lose the 2 AA and then 10 inf

[farmboy]

@farmboy or actually if it is not too late can you post

[gamerman01]

If you get a great roll, that’s the game probably

[gamerman01]

R5 round 1.tsvg

Here I am hoping in vain for a bottom 5% result

[gamerman01]

You won’t need much AA after those rolls. Mine was SO BAD you probably want to save one for the UK
