Well I saw some strfing moves that Anzac could do against Italy. But Germany could compensate for them and then it’s not even worth it if you don’t loose a plane.

Want to change a Non combat Move.
Instead of 2 Fgt to WGer I’ll sen 2 Fgt to Z113 on a German Carrier.

Ok I do admit that I do have better luck with the Convoydamage, but I don’t think that it deviates more than perhaps 10-15IPC from average rolls over the whole game. I don’t think I got this far just because of a few lucky Convoyrolls.

No offense NTSH, but the game is far more skewed than you realize.  Imagine 26 rolls with dice and only rolling 1 [6].  The damage caused by these bombing raids was 63 IPC’s.  Convoy damage surpasses this  Now, I don’t like convoy damage, but I can live with it…a little.  But bombers are extremely overpowered.

To put this in better perspective…have Germany lose their entire income for 1 Turn and 1/2 their income for the next turn and let me know how that works for ya.   Luck played a major role in this game.

Frankly that was probably his best shot at taking you out.   I didn’t even see the Berlin attempt till he showed me, so I was impressed, 50/50 or not.  If your capital is up for grabs, and its there isn’t much that can be done to shut you out of Russia, well, guess I am goin for it also:)

Regardless, A3 is done with me also.  Convoy and bombers are a hair OP.  I would like to see more strat and less luck be an overriding factor.

I had my share of bad outcomes in this game especially when I rolled your defenders. That they didn’t all occur when expensive units where affected like your Berlin assault isn’t my fault now is it. Also my SBR’s did really below average damage for all that they didn’t get shot down much. I also didn’t count on luck too much to safe me. I also would like for strategy to be the deciding factor in winning the game with luck being only a little modification of the expected outcome in either direction.

I get what you are saying regarding battles, and yes, JJ tends to roll like crap, but my point is not this game’s strat so much as the mechanics of bombers and subs for any A3 game.  With your original bombers and you yourself admitting you rolled below average damage, combined with the convoy damage is just a hair over-powered.  That is all I am saying.

Japan will scramble if you attack Z35.
Germany will scramble if you attack Z112. (I don’t think you will, but anyway)

Forgot to mark my Territory and I was wondering why my Income was so low. so that’s 3 for Cel 1 for Kan and a lost Anzac NO for DGU.
So all in all 56IPC of Income.
