AndrewAAgamer (Allies) vs. Germany (Ragnell804)

[AndrewAAGamer]

Pretty bad start for the Allies. But that is what happens with dice.

Please adjust any hit casualties as I just took the default.

[Ragnell804]

@AndrewAAGamer

FYI, Blockhouse attacks are targeted. So I did an edit to take your highest value units away instead of the inf you took in the attacks.

The edits that took place are:
Utah - Lost 1 arty, gained 1 inf back
Omaha - Lost 1 arty, gained 1 inf back
Gold - Lost 1 tank, gained 1 inf back
Juno - Lost 1 tank, gained 1 inf back
Sword - Lost 1 tank, gained 1 inf back

These changes did not affect your dice outcomes except in Omaha Beach.

Since one arty hit and the other missed, I will do a dice roll here to determine if you would have hit with the lone arty. The dice roll will be on 50/50 odds, with 3 or less giving you the hit and 4 or higher, meaning it missed.

@AndrewAAGamer this is due in small part to the blockhouse casualties being assigned to the allied infantry as opposed to the armor/artillery.

[The_Good_Captain]

i think we responded at literally the same time

[Ragnell804]

@AndrewAAGamer

I also did edit my losses to take inf away instead of the block houses.

[AndrewAAGamer]

Thanks for correcting it! I will let the Axis roll for all blockhouses next game and going forward in this game.

I would advise against this. It will make things take longer. OOL is armor/arty/infantry and I don’t think there is any argument otherwise.

Works for me.

Over to you for allied reinforcements. We use the dice roller here. You can copy what I used but label one for the US and one for the UK, as shown below (These are not your rolls but how we typically label them).

UK [dice2d6]
US [dice2d6]

[Ragnell804]

@AndrewAAGamer

To make the roll work, you need to put a space after the word ‘dice’

That has to be the worst Allied Turn 1 I have ever seen.

[AndrewAAGamer]

Good thing I only need to win 50% of the time to prove my point. :)

[AndrewAAGamer]

Actually, 40% probably proves my point too.
10-20% = You guys are right.
30% = Toss up
40% or better = I am right.

5 games each by February?

Without seeing the Turn 1 strafe results, the current standings are:

Allies net: -0.83
Germans net: +2.33

…I’m a bit concerned about clarity around the dice in these games so I’m just going to book them all going forward (same as in all the games we played, Theo).
