G40L Eggman (Allies +4) vs MiamiUMike (Axis) - Match 3!

[miamiumike]

Getting ‘diced’ in a smalll land battle does not equal out getting stupid lucky in a NAVAL battle. How about how I hit nothing in all my other defenses…

2 hits on bb and cruiser

and by all rights you will be dead on defense, right?

[miamiumike]

Check that

bb hit, cruiser and tac

[Eqqman]

I have another mistake for the US I need to fix, the Carrier air in SZ42 was supposed to land in Java.

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

and by all rights you will be dead on defense, right?

Not your day…

I need to place 1 more hit.

[miamiumike]

You win I guess. 4 hits for 4 - yeah - well - great to have dice in a battle that determines the outcome of a game I guess.

[Eqqman]

It’s hardly game-ending, it just puts the follow-up ANZAC attack at 50% + odds.  Then I have to deal with a possible wipe-out of the US fleet off Java.

[miamiumike]

I am not so sure about the air landing in Java. That is a big difference, is it not? Probably affects my OOL. It is a game changer. Instead of now taking out my fleet at the cost of ALL your planes + the ANZAC ones, you now get to roll over it for next to nothing.

This is the kind of crap that makes playing A&A a no-win situation. If I lose because someone beats me because they played well - so be it - it happens all the time. Happened last game you won.

But to lose to dice - I have lost 6 games - 5 of them due to a single stroke of stupid luck in ONE battle. This game included…

[Eqqman]

Well, let me know what you want to do, just so it’s clear.

[miamiumike]

This is notice that I will be off this game for about a week. Got some things to attend to. I will have an idea of if I can continue or not next weekend.

Take care.

MM

[Eqqman]

Okay.  The game is saved awaiting the Japanese decision on another hit in SZ41.

[miamiumike]

New OOL - first three hits - carrier, carrier, bb

Last hit - cruiser

[miamiumike]

Just finish up the round…

[Eqqman]

@miamiumike:

New OOL - first three hits - carrier, carrier, bb

Last hit - cruiser

I’m more than happy to leave the game as-is if that’s your preference.  Since I rolled dice before catching my mistake I can’t complain if you want to hold me to the move.

[miamiumike]

Just apply the 3 hits on the bb, carrier, carrier and the 4th on the cruiser. Planes will land on the island.

Eggman,

I apologize for my childish reaction to last round. Not very becoming for a man with 4 kids. I sincerely am sorry to you - no need for you to put up with that sort of thing.

Peace
MM

[Eqqman]

No worries, I know it’s frustrating when the dice are holding your strategy hostage.

I assume if you’re here online, that these children are all too young to play the analog version of the game.  It sounds like you have just the right amount for a full set of players!
