@axis-dominion

will you give me 25?

a little boost to quell my shame?

[axis-dominion]

thought i was gonna lose this one possibly, altho sweeping the middle east gave me some hope

[axis-dominion]

nooo 25 is too much, you’re playing really well

[Karl7]

@axis-dominion

LOL, 22?

[axis-dominion]

i’ll give you 21 as i’m feeling generous lol

[Karl7]

@axis-dominion

ok, fair

Also, upon reflection I could have mitigated that NG shit by having the US and Anzac switch which side to hit, so, yeah, the dice fucked unimaginably, but there was risk mitigation that I guess I didn’t see

@Karl7

yup exactly my thoughts too, for something so critical…

@axis-dominion

yeah this is why I have hesitated to come back to the league… with kids, work, wife, blah blah, just don’t have the time to beep bop boop shit down to that level as much…

[Karl7]

@Karl7

playing at AD level takes an hour easy on USA/UK move etc

[axis-dominion]

yah but you’re only playing one game, you should be able to afford that time. you’re too good a player to completely disappear. the league needs you

[Karl7]

@axis-dominion

@Karl7 Help me understand this:
Combat - ANZAC
Battle in New Guinea
ANZAC attack with 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 1 infantry
Japanese defend with 1 infantry
ANZAC roll dice for 1 artillery, 1 fighter and 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 2 : 0/3 hits, 1.17 expected hits
Japanese roll dice for 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 2 : 1/1 hits, 0.33 expected hits
1 infantry owned by the ANZAC lost in New Guinea
ANZAC roll dice for 1 artillery and 1 fighter in New Guinea, round 3 : 0/2 hits, 0.83 expected hits
Japanese roll dice for 1 infantry in New Guinea, round 3 : 1/1 hits, 0.33 expected hits
1 artillery owned by the ANZAC lost in New Guinea
1 fighter owned by the ANZAC retreated
Japanese win with 1 infantry remaining. Battle score for attacker is -7
Casualties for ANZAC: 1 artillery and 1 infantry

If this was a game deciding battle and taking NG was crucial for the survival of the US fleet, why didn’t you take the fighter down after round 2 and at least try to win a 1-1 arty vs inf battle?

LOL, yeah I guess so. The answer to your questions is that (1) I am dumb and didn’t do that (2) I was stupefied by the dice and/or (3) I am rusty and have been too long away from you savages
