@Karl7:

Actually, I would like to see what UK does.

Was actually going to do that right now.

I will give you that you took on 3 risky battles sz95, Nukr, and 37 and won each one with super dice and my no-dice.  Really uncanny.  Sure you don’t control the dice server?   :wink:

The odds were in my favor on all of them, though.  Well over 50% (when you include ANZ follow up attack, especially) on each…  But yes I got nice dice on them.

I don’t have quite enough weight around here to be controlling the dice server.

[Karl7]

Yeah, 50% or more on each, but I ended up killing 1 unit in 95, losing bad in Nukr, and routed in 37.

Losing the battles wasn’t the bad part, it was doing so without doing anything in return.  That’s the killer.

UK6 with 37, spend 3 on a researcher
India6 with 15, spend 2 on a researcher

Yeah, but it’s easy to overlook the battles where you got good luck yourself

Meanwhile, raining 6’s in round 6!!

Craptastic, pathetic improved mech.  Even after the afterthought boost Larry gave them they still SUCK
:-)

[gamerman01]

I’m attacking Denmark with an infantry and attacking Z112 against potential scramble with 4 fighters.  You have a fighter and a tac in West Germany.

I’m not quite done with combat moves (doing India now), but I am definitely doing those moves.  Can you tell me if you will scramble?  Or you can wait and see the map - just thought you might be able to expedite things by making a decision now - thanks.

[Karl7]

what are you puting in there?

[gamerman01]

Just a second, I’m posting the map now

[gamerman01]

UK6 with 34, buy ART, 2 TP, CV
India6 with 13, buy SS, TP

Combat moves -
Alex - 2 ART (Egy) MECH (TrJ) INF, ART, ARM (Sfr) INF (Sic) BB (Z93) 2 CA, BB (Z97)
Den - INF (UK)
Z112 - 2 FTR (UK) 2 FTR (Sfr) (can land on new carrier)
NIta - INF, 3 FTR (Sfr)
Yun - INF (Bur) 2 FTR (Kaz)
Shn - 2 INF (Bur) FTR (Ind)

Scramble to 112?

[gamerman01]

Thank you for the quick reply.

well, doing well in a battle that doesn’t matter doesn’t help…

If that battle doesn’t matter, you’re admitting this game is over.
Those ground units are in fact quite valuable because I have 2 transports and tons of air and bombarding ships that could have supported them.  They’re even parked at a naval base.

Plus you could possibly counter-attack it now with Italy and be able to raid my fleet in 98 with the Germans

[Karl7]

well once I get a look at the map, I’ll have a better sense of the possible
