Eggman (Allies +3) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) G50.2 - REMATCH!

[Eqqman]

I deserved to get diced there… I have a little notebook where I try to write down tactical errors so I don’t repeat them, and one of my last entires is never let the Germans move their fleet to Gibraltar.

[miamiumike]

Yeah - I figured you would leave the French cruiser in place so that I could not move through…now - I need to figure out what to do - and hold of the Russians…LOL

GG You win….take care!!

I have not looked at the map. Was Germany in a position to have odds on the fleet and East United States?

@Boldfresh:

61% to sink the fleet, although TripleA won’t take into account the fact that the German BB is damaged, then 80% to take E. USA.  Something I could have easily fixed by moving out units from Central USA that had no compelling reason to be there.  Let me know if you want another game MM.

[boldfresh]

another victim of the “curse of the clever” - make a great move that is potentially crippling and get cripled yourself.  sorry MM, been there many times.  extremely frustrating.

[Eqqman]

Correction, 67% on the fleet attack, I forgot the Gibraltar NB repair for the BB.

Interesting to see how that could have played out, since I certainly would have retaken the E. USA on either the US or British turn.  Maybe I still could have held out… probably not, but not completely unthinkable.

[miamiumike]

Yes - you could have possibly come back - but the advantages were great. Germany with 120 IPC. No US units in a position to do anything for 3 turns….should have won both battles - 70% on naval - but, got 2 hits only and got hit 6 of 7 on defense - cannot account for that.

Whole thing was a bit cheesy to be honest - and in hindsight I should have just continued the game as played (and I am not saying that because the dice went bad - even if I won, I still wish I had just played the game out to see how we would do)

Oh well :)

Heh heh… 70% is in the range where you might expect victory, but still need to have a backup plan for failure.
