[LuckyLindy]

absolutely hideous.  that really really really stinks.  I trade 25 for 6 AND don’t take FRA to get the 11 it was worth, AND you save 13 IPC you should have lost, AND you don’t have to take back FRA…  well, that’s most likely the game right there.

also, I bought one too many units so the transport will be in reserve.

FRA holds with 2 artillery, tank

Noncombat Moves
2 destroyers, 2 ac from Z7 to Z13
2 fighters from FRA to Z13
4 infantry, artillery, AA gun from IND to PER
infantry from TRJ to EGY
6 infantry, artillery, tank from TRJ to PER
transport from Z45 to Z25
destroyer from Z45 to Z56
Mobilize
5 infantry, artillery in GBR
fighter, ac in Z7

transport is in reserve

Income
32 + 5 NO = 37

well that was about a 60-80 IPC swing.  :|  i was hoping AUS would be helpful, but just like against Zhukov, the victory is followed by an even greater, probably fatal, defeat.

unfortunately, no amount of strategy can overcome dice that bad.  :|

[LuckyLindy]

do i remember you flying 4 aircraft over CAU and all surviving?  yeah, i got pretty good defense, but you also got good offense.  It’s just death when it’s so one sided like this.  :|

Please dice gods, even the score!  :-)

[Guest]

I know how you feel. Remember my G1 and J1 of our first game. We still have a long way to go in this on though. The outcome is far from certain.

[LuckyLindy]

Well, I don’t know about a long way to go.  There no way for me to go much longer if that keeps up.

You’re right though, I’m due for some bad luck against you, just wish it wasn’t happening in a league game I need to win to have a playoff shot.

Cheers.

[LuckyLindy]

Don’t think too much, just take some big battles you are not favored to win!  :-P

Hey EB, I see I didn’t type the noncombat move of the 2 British infantry from RHO to CNG, I had it on my map and typing for a different plan but didn’t get it done on the one I actually used.  Do you mind?

boy do I wish I had gone with my other plan, both for Russia AND for the Brits.  I went with the more aggressive option (more risk and more reward) in both, and they both blew up in my face…  :|

[LuckyLindy]

also, to remind myself of the transport that is in reserve, I will place it in Sweden on the map.

Cheers

darn it EB, I see I didn’t list the autokill of the Z16 transport with the bomber from GIB…  I had it on my map and now I noticed when I’m doing noncom that I didn’t type the attack (part of the problem is that I’m typing a couple of different options sometimes and I forget to retype in another.  Let me know if you have a problem with it, but it’s my policy to allow obvious walkins and autokills of transports.

Also, I didn’t realize I had 49 IPC’s so I also have 1 IPC saved.

Sorry, I guess I’m really flustered from the Russian and British rounds…  will try to get things back together here with the accuracy on my posts…  :|
