L22 Pejon_88 (X+10) vs. GeneralDisarray (A), PTV, semi final

[Pejon_88]

Will continue in the forum since I don’t see a way around how to access the engine without the same issue happening again.

Losses round 2:
Japan 11 subs, 1 des, 2 cr, 2 figs and 2 tacs
Allies 11 subs, 7 des

For round 3:
Japan
2 strategic bombers + 12 figs at 3 or less
1 battleship + 12 tacs at 4 or less

Allies
8 ACs at 1 or less
8 des at 2 or less
3 cr + 4 tacs at 3 or less
1 battleship + 10 figs at 4 or less

OMG the Japan 13d6 were not rolled. Will roll now:

[dice 13d6<=4]

[dicebot]

13d6<=4: 6, 4, 3, 4, 2, 6, 4, 1, 6, 3, 4, 3, 6; Hits: 9

[Pejon_88]

I read hits for Japan 5 + 9 =13 (12 since I rolled one tac too many, should have been 12d6…) and 0 + 1 + 1 +6 = 8 for Allies leaving the two sides with the following units:

Japan
10 figs at 3 or less
1 battleship and 8 tacs at 4 or less

Allies
6 ACs at 1 or less
3 cr + 4 tacs at 3 or less
1 battleship + 10 figs at 4 or less

[Pejon_88]

This is soooo confusing and I apologise…

I realize I rolled the wrong dice last round for you since they made ACs 1 or less in PTV which I totally forgot in the middle of all this although I mentioned it in my first post. I went max defense for you, which would mean saving ACs before destroyers in BM3/4 or any other version of Axis and Allies… Hence you should’ve been left with more 2 or less instead of those ACs that grants you hits at only 1 or less…

I am at a loss and have kind of lost the appetite for this particular game. I will let you decide the best way forward from here, including you collecting the win which is anyway statically fair from before this battle even started. I won’t give other examples how to proceed since I don’t want to influence your decision.

Again apologies for messing up the forum rolls.

[GeneralDisarray]

@Pejon_88 I would not feel right taking the win here. That being said can we just start at the beginning of round 2 with 25 hits and 21 hits and just roll max defense the rest of the way? @gamerman01 open for suggestions here.

[gamerman01]

I’ll wait for pejon reply, thank you for inviting me

[Pejon_88]

@GeneralDisarray True sportsmanship from you here. Something we see over and over again on this forum :)

Don’t you agree? @gamerman01

In that case I propose that I go to the battle in Live Mode and removing those casualties and going with max d for you the rest of the battle. I tried in Local and if I stay in the session I am able to follow through with the whole battle. I think the bug is related to closing and opening a game session so by doing it this way I hope it works. Shall I try?

[GeneralDisarray]

@Pejon_88 Ready when you are.

@GeneralDisarray Congratualations for making the finals, well played! :)

After having lost first Gibraltar costly and then much worse the German and Italian fleets which were resources I should’ve spent to crush USSR, I think the game was pretty much sealed.

Good luck in the final game!

[GeneralDisarray]

@Pejon_88 Very well played. Had a answers for nearly every front I had coming in. Close game.

[Pejon_88]

@GeneralDisarray Yes I believe I could’ve kept a closed door if you hadn’t gotten the edge.
