yeah i think japan is in some real trouble which has taken a lot of hard work as your pacific game has greatly improved, but it needs to be since Russia already fell.  if i lose a big chunk of the US fleet, i think it’s game over for me.  as i said, it truly was just an accidental switching of the sea zones when typing - it came as a complete surprise to me this morning when you pointed it out.  there is no reason i would ever have wanted to move only a portion of my US fleet to z61, obviously.

just take your time and think it over.

To me the honorable question to be asked is whether you think i intended to send the fleet to z61 then changed my mind in noncom or if you believe it was a simple accident and there was no intent of sending the haw ftrs the extra space to 61.  Since it was 9 ftr and des to each zone, everything was identical except for a 0 or 1 after the 6 :-(

Actually, I did think you were going to send the fleet to sz61 because I think I would have myself

are you saying you would have sent all of the available US fleet to 61?  if i had intended to do so, i obviously would have taken the battleships to ensure not taking a hit from your destroyer…  :-)

plus, i didn’t want to risk moving too fast toward z62 and risk a full scale attack from the japs (even though moving more slowly builds risk turn after turn against the allies since russia has fallen).  i’ve had some really bad dice against me lately, notably by commander Jenn (some of the best i’ve EVER seen) so was playing conservatively.  anyway, will wait to hear your thoughts rather before speaking further.

After looking at the scenario, I see if you sent all you could into sz61, I would be able to take them out with my bmr, ftrs, subs and dds….and still have 12-14 ftrs left…according to the combat simulator. Which would mean game over. So, that being said, let it stand as is…gives me a built in excuse if I do lose  :-D

So what was the result?

Did the navy go to sz61? or you let it slide?

OBG agreed that the navy going to z61 was never really even a possibility.  in a way it could be said he let me off the hook, but on the other hand, it would have been quite a stretch for him to say i intended to move the nave to z61.  he just got 8 extra hits in persia though, so maybe that’s his reward…  :-)

no i’m not saying my dice were terrible in this battle, just that his first round roll was incredible, expecially the first 27 dice thrown which you mentioned were epic.  luckily they cooled down from there…  :lol:

i believe the overall result of this battle was pretty terrible for the allies though, i’m just glad i didn’t put the 6 bombers there, which would have given me odds in the battle and which i strongly considered doing…

my truly terrible dice have been against Jenn… worth looking at.  she’s hit me for 80 plus damage without losing a bomber, and she’s had two major wipeouts of stacks she went after with poor odds…  game should have been over a couple of times already but the dice keep yanking her from the fire.  in addition, she has played so slowly that she has technically already lost the game per the 72 hr post rule but i just told her i’d be willing to continue if she’d get with it.

[boldfresh]

garg i love how you try to elicit responses, i mean that sincerely, i think it’s hilarious…  :lol:

everyone knows the first round roll is the most important.  me getting an extra hit in round 2 while he got a hit or two less is miniscule compared to the 8 hit swing in round 1.  but you know that.  :lol:

regardless, not complaining, i think it’s great, and i think he deserved it.  :-)

[boldfresh]

i think it’s great that the massacre occurred right on the heels of his comment that he has a built in excuse if he loses (which i know is just tongue in cheek OBG) because it allows me to zing it right back…  :wink:

[boldfresh]

should be a fun experiment i’m running now, i just took my first '41 game with a negative bid for the allies…  :lol:
