Wheatbeer (axis) vs kilroynothere (allies) G40 A3

[kilroynothere]

I can definitely see that it could be more tedious as you have to go round by round to figure it out I guess… still, the aacalc can help with that and there still is just enough luck to make it somewhat random in close fights.

On subs, I’m fine with doing low luck there too, just in a different batch because of sneak attack and inability to hit planes. So, if we had 3 subs going against a destroyer have 50/50 of getting a hit. Also could see just rolling subs normally as they can be a big difference in a battle.

aa fire can also see being done normally or with low luck. I suppose I like low-luck here too as aa fire can really hinder or help a cause dramatically. Completely change the nature of an attack. You only do low-luck to minimize mayhem, so probably good here too.

And happy to take the Allies. We’ve played a bit now and I hope you have figured out I’m more about learning, enjoying, and getting better than wining. Wining I reserve for business and Vegas… here, I just simply love the game, love figuring out what to do, and really like simply getting better.  And right now, I am awful as the allies. Just not my natural aggressive playing style. I think I like the initiative and am simply not comfortable with trying to regain it.  But, I think I am learning to be more patient. I’ve played the allies face to face a few times in global as well and lost miserably. Again, being reckless and wasteful.

This new game will be better for sure.

Please start the game when you wish to. Very excited to play with low-luck.

Pretty much the same as my favored G1 (very close to how I opened this last game … love helping out Italy by knocking out French ships in the Med.)

dang, SZ106 holds … low luck doesn’t help with small scale battles as much

Just realized I messed up France, need to fix

[wheatbeer]

germany loses 3 inf, retreats to rom

[wheatbeer]

FRA r1

should be
A 48/6 = 8
D was right

so FRA r2 should be

A 3 inf, 2 mech, 3 art, 5 tank = 44/6 = 7r2 (rolling still unnecessary)

D 1 art, 2 tank, 1 fig = 12/6 = 2r0

end result, fra twol 7 inf (not 6)

[wheatbeer]

SZ112

A 1 cru, 1 bsh, 1 fig, 1 tact = 14/6 = 2r2 (no roll needed)

D 2 cru = 6/6 = 1r0

sz112 cwol (bsh damaged)

waiting on scramble orders for SZ111

That patented wheatbeer sink the french fleet in the med and retreat to ROM moves… I do like them a lot, BTW, and plan on steeling them next I play the Axis. I can definitely see the small battles are harder to outright win now with the subs… interesting.

I actually think with low luck, it makes sense to scramble the fighter… not completely sure, but let’s mix it up a bit…  so, let’s scramble the fighter and see what happens.

[wheatbeer]

I did go slightly light in 111, lets see

SZ111

A 1 sub, 2 fig, 2 tact = 16/6 = 2r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (3)

D 1 dest, 1 bsh, 1 fig = 10/6 = 1r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (4)

[wheatbeer]

SZ111 r2

A 1 fig, 2 tact = 10/6 = 1r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (3)

D 1 bsh (or 1 fig) = 0r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (6)
