Stalingradski (Axis) v Infrastructure (Allies) A3-G8

[Stalingradski]

There’s a first time for everything France! It hurts more than you know - that German transport might have been able to lift an infantry down there eventually…

This is a big turn.

How do I accomplish all my objectives and take out that French Battleship?

Germany 7 purchases 2 Fighters, Destroyer, 7 Infantry, 2 Mech Infantry, Artillery = 61 IPCs.

I sense a reroll coming. You got two extra fighters. Running the battle to the end based on normal odds, Russia should hit 16.5 units + a fighter.

Well. you got 20 hits + 2 extra fighters… reroll, you think? I use my last one. Scary.

Uh oh. Can’t make this stuff up. This could be a loss, based purely on dice. Who are you, the Giants? Recover every fumble, make highly improbable throws and catches.

I lose 3 fighters and a bomber.

I spoke too soon. You’re not the Giants. That was an insane rebound. This battle will cost me extra aircraft, but going into Round 2, I can’t complain.

Nice job, probably game over, and i dont think I can use reroll.

[Stalingradski]

Wow. Ok. I’m down 32 IPCs (should be 31 - in theory I should have chosen 2 Fighters and a Tac based on pips).

You got 9 hits, or 7 less than you should have (the 16.5 was 16 with 3 remaining).

The 7 less hits was made up of 4 Infantry and 3 Artillery, or 24 IPCs worth of units. Since I lost 7 IPCs more than I should have in the aggregate (31 - 24), this doesn’t look like a reroll for you. If I messed up, please let me know, but I looked and looked at this - checked and double checked.

Germany collects 56 + 20 NO + 27 from Russia = 103 IPCs.

Agreed - you can take Russia back, though, and it’ll take me 2 more rounds to retake -

[Major Major]

Are you sure I can take russia back?

[Major Major]

and hold it?

I started late at night to do this move - better if I do it in the morning -

On Russia’s turn - did you mean to leave the 2 AA in Smolensk?
