@Boldfresh:

You know, I seriously thought about retreating after the first round, but the Germans don’t have air to spare and I really wanted the ground units to march east to East Poland.  And even “knowing” that I would almost certainly take a hit, it’s still always a good idea to trade Italians for Russians  :-P

I don’t have a pc at work now so my battlemap moves need to happen at home, at night. Will make the USA move tonight.

Need casualty choice for Great Britain
map attached

I believe, I can’t view the map, that I have an inf, art, arm, bmb & 2 fgt’s. If this is correct then I think….

You can take the inf, art & arm off the map for the UK in GBR. That would leave me with 2 fgt & bmb.

I guess I should have dropped a few more units into GBR? I guess it’s time for the absolute dicing the allies have taken in the Atlantic to turn around? I EXPECT to hit 3 with my defenders. that would leave you with a bmb & arm vs 2 fgt & bmb…

SHOULD I TAKE THE RISK? IF I LOSE GBR IT WILL BE MY SHORTEST GAME ON RECORD!

hmmmmm. I guess at this stage there isn’t any turning back for you? Mathematically I guess I should let my bmb go and keep the arm. it is only a 7 ipc difference.

Screw it…DAMN the dice gods. If my unit counts are correct I will lose the inf, art & arm…I will keep the bmb & 2 fgt’s!

[gamerman01]

No, you have 2 bombers.
The AA just killed my chances.
So yes, if you were going to choose infantry, art, arm anyway, you definitely would now.
I need you to whiff completely.

[gamerman01]

With nearly 50/50 odds and 60 IPC’s which is the most UK could ever have after round 2, practically, I kind of had to try it.  Germany would have way over 100 IPC’s if successful on G2, so I had to try that.
It will fail, and then we’ll have a tight game.  :-P

[gamerman01]

So you’re not even going to let me take a single airplane from you…. so greedy  :wink:
