G40.2 Fortress (Axis) vs. Eqqman (Allies) no bid, no tech

Do “load saved game” and then “start pbem” which is right below “start local”. That should take care of the problem.  :-)

Wow… very disappointing to not be able to sink a single ship.

I may attack or strafe East Poland, so if there is anything I might want to know about possible OOLs there, let me know.

I am now writing down a prediction on a piece of paper that I will reveal later heh heh…

[Fortress]

I think, like you, I like to see how the dice come out. I would imagine infantry, but I’m not looking at the map or the combat, so I guess we’ll see.

If I know anything about my luck in large scale battles, I’m guessing that I’m going to cause less than the 11 casualties expected in the first round of combat (plus whatever planes get shot down). I might catch dice every now and then when I don’t deserve them, but pretty straightforward battles never end up being that way – if it’s in the 70-80% range, I’m going to take a bath on it, I almost guarantee…

[Eqqman]

Need OOL for East Poland.

I am sure people following this thread are going to laugh at Stalin’s moves, but there is method to the madness (of course, the method might also be mad!)

[Fortress]

Knock out 2AA’s and the rest infantry, please.

[Eqqman]

Losses for round 2 please.

[Eqqman]

Forgot to attach file.

[Fortress]

After a good round 1, I’m surprised you went back for seconds… I didn’t open the file but I count 8 hits. I think I have the infantry left for all 8.

[Fortress]

Told you that was going to go better than expected for you LOL!

The ball is back in your court, as they say.  Large battles can be nice since by definition you are less likely to have things sway wildly one way or the other, so your expectations of the outcome are more reliable.  Stalin is pleased… although I am sure nobody else at STAVKA is.

I just want to confirm that the German troops on the Italian Transport can’t get off unless it is the German turn.

That is correct.
