Nothing to see here (Axis) vs. James Aleman (Allies) g40 alpha3

[Nothing to see here]

If you attack Z100 or Z127 I’ll scramble everything in Z127 and 2Fighters and a German Tac in Z100. In Z100 Damage al Aircraft Carriers first and then the DD I think the Planes that started the turn on a carriere can land in Novgorod after the fight if not leave on Carrier undamaged.

Is there anything else you want to know before doing Russias turn?

[JamesAleman]

Sorry for the delay, Saturday I worked and the wife needed me that evening.
Sunday I had my meetup group over for face to face Global 1940-a2.

So here we go, I’m amazed I’m still in this. CPR was bait to keep USSR alive, I did expect you to capture it with average rolls, but with 1-2 armor or maybe losing an air unit….oh well. Luck has not been on my side in the big battles, the battle for Berlin (z113)or CPR (which if luck were reversed could have been very costly). It’s true on the single roll battles, my 2’s do well, but on the important stuff I typically have to use overkill to see objectives fulfilled. I’m a little worried that Japan may destroy the US navy if my luck doesn’t change…I pray for average rolls, that’s all, nothing more, nothing less.

Also, attacking z104 if fine, its no big deal.

Only I could roll 40 2’s and get 8 hits on attack (reminds me of my fighter rolls in the battle for Berlin), Imagine if that had happened to my opponent on a mid sized battle that mattered….that is why I sent 40 dice to fight 1 defender. Oh well.

8hits out of 40 2’s.  You fail at life JJ.

As far as the strat for CPR goes, looks good on paper, it will keep Russia alive a bit longer.  If anything, just goes to reinforce how fun this game is and how fun dice make the game.  Even if its not so much fun for you, I am having a great time watching your rolls!  muwhahahaha

The best part is when we play f2f, you roll like this in real life too!

I think the OOL in the big seabattles is a bit complicated but If I can land the planes after an attack in an adjacent territory that belongs to my side which I think is the case though I don’t remember if the rule book says so. I think I’ll go with damage Battleships then Damage Carriers then Destroyers then Cruisers and I hope you’ll have to retreat at this point but if not I’ll probably loose planes except when I think you’ll certainly win then Carriers before Cruisers. I just hope all attacks look risky enough that you won’t try an attack this round.
