Kilroynothere (Axis) vs Wheatbeer (Allies)

[wheatbeer]

A little less heinous after round 2, but still, better than I anticipated for UK.  Up to you.

[wheatbeer]

If it makes any difference, I would take the 2 hits on 1 dest, 1 tact.

[kilroynothere]

Agreed, but still waaaaay under odds. That’s why we like to finish the battle before pulling the trigger. We’ve actually seen a first round like the one we had and then the second/third rounds go the other way to actually even things out. Dice are crazy!

Let’s have the do-over.

thanks for being cool with this. Would have done the same for you. I like to win by strategy (skewed with just a bit of luck) rather than all luck.  No fun that way.

[wheatbeer]

No problem … I think this would spoil the game with England having an armada alive and half of Italy sunk anyways.

Here goes … SZ95

A

Rolls: 1@2 5@3 1@4; Total Hits: 31@2: (5)5@3: (6, 4, 2, 3, 1)1@4: (5)

[kilroynothere]

Agreed. That was the whole problem with OOB apparently….

I’ll remove the sub and two destroyers.

[wheatbeer]

I will take my hits this time on 1 dest, 1 cru, 1 fig

A: 1 cru, 2 fig, 1 tact

Rolls: 3@3 1@4; Total Hits: 33@3: (3, 1, 2)1@4: (5)

D: 1 cru, 2 fig

[kilroynothere]

Cool. I need to run. I’ll try to check in again in an hour or so.

[wheatbeer]

Ok doke

SZ95 taken with total loss of 1 dest, 2 cru, 1 fig, 1 tact

[kilroynothere]

One last thing. On the map, I moved one of my subs out to the sz33.  The other is with the rest of the fleet.  Again, sorry you had to do that for me.

thanks.

Btw, if you attack SZ93 on I1, I may want to be particular about the way I take casualties.

[kilroynothere]

Gotcha. Just got back and will get Italy in here shortly.

[wheatbeer]

Excellent  :-)

[kilroynothere]

OK, doesn’t look like I will get Italy done tonight. GF coming over…. more important things!  You certainly have left me with some hard choices!  Good work. Like your UK opening a lot. I’ve tried a few things and this one is pretty sweet.

[wheatbeer]

No problem, and thanks  :-)

[kilroynothere]

Hope the delay wasn’t too long. Finally had a moment to think about things. Your opening move is really fascinating. Put me off my initial Italy ideas.
