XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

[Veqryn]

italian’s turn.

cow, we can still win.  i can’t have hawaii for at least 3 more turns, so hang in there and hold europe.

i am soon to have south africa, which will make up for the income i will lose elsewhere

now…. where is garg to give me a BB ah?

at least we can delete that french bb…

china losing 8 infantry is nothing like japan losing 106 tuv…

[Cow]

you can have hawaii it is 50/50 just do it.  just do it.

[Cow]

I will solve that sub problem soon enough. going to get my transport kills right here.

[Cow]

also veqryn why wouldn’t you take 50/50 for hawaii win? Isn’t that the whole point of the game? to play the objective and go for the win. 50/50 is a fair shake and the consequences aren’t that bad you just block his naval and he can only hit you with air.

[Cow]

just send enough destroyers to kill 3 scrambling fighters.

[seth4god]

Yeah, I’m sorry Verq .  … I kind of feel bad about how that battle turned out. I fully expected to win(no loser’s mentality here), but I thought that at best I might have 2-3 air left. And I never thought I’d have a realistic shot at coming out of that with that many pieces left. We can delete the French BB if you want or maybe you’ll get an Italian one?

I understand part of your reasoning for moving like you did, but you can’t give a wounded animal an opening . . . he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Basing 60% of your ground strength on a 50/50 battle probably wasn’t the wisest choice. Even had I only survived with 2-3 units left, you’d still be facing 20% odds in Hawaii. And I knew I’d figured out a way to hold both VCs.

[seth4god]

Cow, run a sim  . …  it’s not a 50/50 battle. Anzac will move an inf, arm, ftr to the defenses.

At most Japan will have 3inf, art, 4ftr, 2tac, 2bmb vs 5inf, art, arm, 4ftr, 2bmb, aa in Hawaii.

[Cow]

30% for instant win, I would still take it.

[Cow]

I am very curious veqryn, why did you split your naval forces if you weren’t going to attack hawaii?

[Cow]

well it is more like 20%, I guess he could just cash in on 3 free transport kills.

Great, we just made this game last longer.

[Cow]

anyway it is your turn seth.

[Cow]

Still, I would never knock someone who attacked hawaii 10% or better odds. It is called playing the game.

Sorry, didn’t see a game post and viewed the post you uploaded the map via the thread history when I tried posting something. So I didn’t see the attached file.

Some Great American Play here, Coupled with good dice.

We have quite a match Ladies and Gentlemen!

[Cow]

scramble orders?

[seth4god]

I got lucky with the dice, I shouldn’t have come out of that with that many units left over. Don’t forget though that I somewhat placed myself in this situation to begin with. Bad die the first couple turns sucked monkey balls and did nothing to help the allied situation. But I tempted a Sealion when I honestly had never faced a sea lion before . . . that was a moosteak.

I should’ve kept my Russians in EPL where they would’ve threatened anything dropped into Nov/Baltic. Instead I overextended myself into Romania and then got outflanked. So I have to give up a forward position(and the inherent IPCs) I theoretically could’ve held a couple more turns at the least. Ah well, lesson learned.

[Cow]

scramble?

[seth4god]

Scramble two british fighters and an American one in sz125
