@dawgoneit Bid is a tank and a transport for Italy. G1 scramble orders?
BM Surfer (L+15) vs Farmboy (X)
-
@farmboy I concede. I can’t really defend anything at this point. I can continue until the German turn if you want to conduct the fight of the united armies. But I don’t see how I can make it much worse than a 70-30 battle for you–and more important, if I do, I lose everything else.
Choice?
-
@surfer I’d certainly be curious about that battle. But I probably wouldn’t take that battle yet either. To get the 30% odds you have to pull back all the air from Iraq and I think that forces you to retreat from there so i get closer to Egypt. I think you can probably do better than 30% if you set up a blocker for some of my fast movers further east. But I think each turn my odds should improve a little and I would just wait until victory was more guaranteed in n Italy just because I can bring in 23+units a turn. So I expect I would eventually get the win that way. But of course you have enough on the board that you might still be able to capitalize on a major mistake or dicing
-
@surfer I’ll just add that I’m happy to keep playing but I’m cautious enough that I’m not going to rely on 70% odds, so we would have to play it out longer to see that kind of battle
-
@farmboy I wouldn’t engage in the battle in your position either. You have income and time on your side. And then add to the fact that I can’t really make advances and will be pushed from the Middle East territory by territory, I see no point in continuing.
-
@surfer this was a very good and hard fought game. And if you want to see the dice roll I’m happy just to rush through to the German turn to see how a battle of that scale would actually play out.

will do this slowly so you can be around for it. Here is the battle. 63% odds with 357 units vs 314. Again, wouldn’t risk this in a real game, but don’t believe I have ever had more units involved in a battle.

Your AA hit above average and my first round is a few hits below average at 89! Right now the box for casualties goes below the screen and I can’t click accept. Will try to figure that out later, but you are welcome to continue the next stage.
-
@farmboy ridiculous. The game designers didn’t expect such a big fight and the click button is off screen😱😁 I was hoping to see the graphic of all the dice.! 🤣
Not sure what you wanted me to do. Just max d
-
@surfer I have to get back to it later. If you can figure out how to get the click button, feel free to proceed.
-
@farmboy I can’t load the game due to version difference… not sure why that matters now since we have been playing for a month. :shrug:
