Perhaps next time a sub in SZ 91 is better instead of two extra Chinese infantry.

See, I’m already learning! This game was a good idea!

Although he is one of our 2 best players

Was that AndrewAAGamer?

No, I meant Axis-Dominion, who is #1 overall, by a lot

[gamerman01]

@VictoryFirst It’s only beginning

[gamerman01]

Oh you did finish the move!
Don’t look at me that way, I’m older

And I’m playing 4 at a time, like the good old days
It’s always my turn against someone!

Anymore I’m thrilled with slightly below average (across all games).
You are not so lucky, I remember J1 in Classic!

There are 3 hits, and as a courtesy I point out the planes have nowhere to land without their undamaged carrier

I am currently using almost the exact same Allied opener in two other games and those are going for my feeling much more streamlined because there people allowed me to do my stuff.

I am pretty excited I get to play a great guy who’s coming into the league from outside. No doubt various tactics become almost standard in the league as players find what others are doing that works, and then we become just a little bit in-bred, probably

Waiting for 97 casualty choice

(didn’t want it to get buried)

I probably missed you until tomorrow.

Rolling on forum because Triple A doesn’t do mixed fleet battles correctly. Maybe it wouldn’t matter for this battle, but I don’t want to have to figure that out.

Will edit for results

You’ve already shown Triple A skills, when you edited the fighter to 97, so that’s good

Casualty choice for 97 needed

Casualty choice for 97 needed

Please kill the DD, Cruiser and a FTR

[VictoryFirst]

I am glad my spreading out tactic worked out. Usually when you can’t put all of your units in the same spot, it’s best to spread them all out. If I had put all of my aircraft in Malta or Syria, you would have been able to destroy all of them. Now I’ve only lost the bomber. That’s why my British NCM took so long, I had to check all possible Italian attacks and consider all distributions of UK forces. This one ended up being the best in my eyes.

[gamerman01]

No more Italian transports to worry about!

Can’t finish the turn right now, was just checking in quick

[gamerman01]

Oh, I was rolling it on the forum…

OK, I just clicked it in Triple A so it sent one dice result which doesn’t count. As it were, it was a hit with my sub and then I stopped, confused at what was happening.

SO

here is the UK defense:
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=3]
[dice 2d6<=4]

2d6<=2: 6, 5; Hits: 0

[gamerman01]

Um…
3 immediate thoughts

1. I hope you don’t doubt the integrity of the forum dice roller
2. Why are you and @GovZ getting punished for all the horrible dice I’m getting in my other 2 games
3. I feel like I should give you a re-roll, but I just got another player who asked for a game minutes ago, and the dice could turn right around and rip me again.

So…
