wiz (x) vs Gman (L +16) BM4 P/O R1

[gamerman01]

That is super bad. At least you weren’t cheating air away for a J1 DOW

Farmboy had similar results on J1…
Yeah those forward J infantry are extremely valuable

[gamerman01]

A lot of calculations, a lot of possibilities…

Scramble to 97?

UK1 97 scramble.tsvg

[wizmark]

@gamerman01 max scramble, max def, bb last casualty please…lets hope for a turn around in the axis dice!

[gamerman01]

Scramble there can break either side, especially the Allies.

[gamerman01]

A battle that Triple A does wrong…

I hit 4, took a hit to your battleship, cruiser, 2 fighters. So fighter, damaged battleship left.

Triple A rolled your 3 fighters and demanded a casualty choice before rolling the 2 ships.

You scored 2 fighter hits, +1 from your battleship.
Now I have to think.

[gamerman01]

Will try to keep it clean
I’ll roll on the forum from here.

So I hit 4 and from your instructions, I take off cruiser, hit the battleship, and lose 2 fighters

Your fighters hit 2 and your battleship hit 1

I lose 2 fighters and damage the carrier
(I took off the carrier in Triple A so I could see the rest of the roll)

So we have
Damaged carrier, Sub, Destroyer, cruiser, 1 tactical, 1 bomber
versus
1 fighter, 1 damaged battleship

[gamerman01]

The evil bid sub goes for a surprise strike on the battleship

Oh wow, at least you did well in 110.

[gamerman01]

I’ll lose the carrier to that Axis plane hit
Very tough start. But you have an excellent record so I will not back off. It could all turn around

[gamerman01]

If you have any questions about 97, I can explain how I did it

@gamerman01 hmmm…i think its all over before is begun, lost a heck of a lot of units for nothing special…I hate T1 with the axis because this happens so many times it feels like

@wizmark sigh that has been one of the worst axis turns ive ever had. Not finished yet but everything has gone allies way :(

[gamerman01]

That is awful.

Probably doesn’t help you to know I had a terrible G1 against Oysteilo just now. That one’s probably over G1, I only had 6 tanks left on Paris (worst 2% of results). And that, kids, is why you don’t cheat ground away from Paris.

[gamerman01]

I wondered if you’d go for bombing the London airbase and then decimating the 110 fleet, but of course that was very risky. Of course the bomber would have been shot down, but it did have a 25% chance of squeaking through.

[gamerman01]

And you just have 1 German ship, so even if the Italian bomber did its dirty deed, the Luftwaffe might have taken heavy losses.
Maybe you will still go for it
