@nikola1975 said in PTV L25 PlayOff: Surfer (Allies) vs Nikola1975 (Axis +9):
@surfer Yes :) Let’s see how you react.
Ok. Let’s try this. Scramble orders?
Sumatra taken, but at maximum cost! UK income is up by 4, but she can ill afford to build much down there….
Jap fleet can now start to be assertive again with all that American air gone…
4/11 AA is really terrible, but you did get decent offense after that, and the Jap fighters under-performed…
But, of course, you needed a much better result than you got to stay in the game…
By my estimation I lost a few too many aircraft… :-(
Actually, you still ended up in the 60th percentile, a little below average. Your good offense and my mediocre defense helped make up for the AA disaster.
But I think you needed an above average result there to stay in the game. Are you going to continue?
Could have been worse, too, though. 28% chance that you fail to take the islands at all.
That’s what I meant, needed it to turn out much better than that. Yes, working on the noncombat moves.
Yeah, it did succeed so you have a build option in the Pacific with the UK, income is up by 4, and Jap income is down by 9. Allies still making some noise. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all that American fleet.

Pretty late - I’d better get to bed. Probably moving tomorrow night.
You did not list a combat move on Z64.
Was looking once more over the whole move and realized I didn’t list the Z64 attack - I did this before in our league game! I move the fighter there but when typing the move I don’t see it… I guess I’m just blind to some areas of this map still, such as Z64 and the POL-BST-BEL tank route… :|
According to your map, you have stuff going to 49 that I didn’t see listed….
Both carriers from 38, and 2 DD and CV from 46…
infantry to Egypt…
Yes, that is correct - I think I had that listed once and made a misskey which erased part of the noncombat move… the map is right on both counts.
OK, changed my mind. I need to move before you see that I can attack Z57
I don’t want to give you 18 hours to realize that. :wink:

Now I’m afraid you’re really done for, Luck. Too many oversights this game. The American fleet in Z56 is dead, with no chance of retaliation. I’ll finish the move tomorrow. It’s late.
That is, I’ll finish it tomorrow if you haven’t resigned in the meantime.

Yes I resign. Two giant oversights, the two can-opener possibilities. Both of them worked for you, the first one a coin flip, but the second one was 80+%
The game was probably over with the first can-opener, which was a coin flip. Was even more likely over with the below average attack of SUM - however I do think the allies still had a small fighting chance. And now is most definitely over with the second disastrous can-opener.
On the positive note, I have eliminated two of my blind spots on the map. :lol:
And hopefully I can finish you off in the league game, now that you have showed me some of your secrets :wink:
Good luck in the championship game!
Cheers
