That was fortunate.
Carrier sunk, fighter lands on Carolines because carrier in Z50 is full.

[gamerman01]

What the?  Jeez!

Save 3 4’s….
Ridiculous

[Seador]

well.  I was just going to say the Bristol’s came through this time.  Max defense for OOL?

[gamerman01]

Right - that’s what I meant by save 3 4’s.  Battleship, I guess - whatever.

I’ll let you roll them.  Maybe you’ll roll for me like you did for yourself.

[boldfresh]

once again, Gamer’s bad luck comes elsewhere….

[gamerman01]

Fair enough…  blistering defense as well.  Gutsy and innovative move with the double carrier buy.  But no ground units built for a turn will really hurt down the road…  But kudos for thinking outside the box - definitely surprised me.

[Seador]

it’s sad that i’m disapointed in the outcome after that first attacker round!

#2 vs z5 cleared, Ft (x2), Bm remain

NCM
Bm z5 m UK

Collect: 23 + 21 = 44

Not sure if that improved my position or not.  You still have so much money :(

PS to Bold>  that isn’t bad luck, that is well within the expected odds.  The bad luck for him was that I rolled really well in the same battle that he did.  Vis versa, the bad luck for me was that he rolled really well in the same battle that I rolled really well.  sucks to be me, cause i needed it more than he did!

PPS >  you guys type too much.

[Seador]

that being said, I really needed to try something.  As it rolled, it was pretty much “odds on” in the end result, which wasn’t the dice I needed to actually improve the board.  I just set it back a turn and you make way more IPC than I do, so no improvement.

[gamerman01]

Appears you moved DD to Borneo as well.
