[Odonis]

Ok, attacking your navy in sz100.

First round done, now need your OOL.

Round 1: I got three hits. Took a hit on your BB, and two US CV. You only got 1 hit in return.

Round 2: I got 3 hits again. How do you want them?

[Odonis]

Anyway, retreated after your return fire.

If you wanted to keep anything else, make the edits as necessary. Wouldn’t have affected the battles.

Odonis:  RIDICULOUS dice aside, you should never and I mean NEVER choose casualties and continue a battle like that.  I am doing things you apparently have no idea of and would have chosen the first round casualties very differently.  i would have taken 2 hits to SINK 1 acc, then i would have lost a british fighter.

So, as you can see, that would SIGNIFICANTLY change the battle.  you certainly would have gone a round 2, in which i would have taken the three hits as 3 more fighters.  now, it is round 3 and you have 1 ftr remaining and i have 2 acc, bat, and a ftr.  you can choose to go a 3rd round if you wish.

[boldfresh]

now, if you don’t believe i would have chosen the round 2 casualties that way because you were getting so many hits, then feel free to reroll my second round defense, which would be:

Rolls: 2@2 5@4; Total Hits: 32@2: (6, 1)5@4: (1, 6, 6, 6, 2)

I am NOT rolling it here, again these are NOT official dice, but this is how you will continue the battle if you wish.  Roll the dice on this thread for my second round if you like.

[boldfresh]

so, the odds are that i will get between 3 and 4 hits.  but if you reroll, i might get less or more.  you can leave round 2 as rolled and continue with a round 3 if you wish, your fighter against my 2 acc, ftr, bat.

[boldfresh]

to be clear, it does not matter to me whether you want to reroll the second round defense or leave it as already rolled.  you can then choose to continue the battle or retreat.

and in general, NEVER do what you did again.  it’s a very poor practice that will create all kinds of unneeded controversy.  you are lucky in this case that pretty much nothing you do will result in me losing this game, but that will (hopefully) not always be the case for you.

[boldfresh]

geez just realized in all the excitement that i forgot to take scotland, thereby throwing away another SEVEN ipc  :roll: lol

[boldfresh]

here’s the map.  you cant continue the battle if you want or i can proceed with this map - you just say the word.

[boldfresh]

trust me, this is better for you.  there is no possible way you can win this game, even incredible dice like that won’t do it.  and if i let you choose my casualties in battles like that, you would be robbed of a good learning opportunity.  :-)

[Odonis]

Hey mate, let’s just leave as is with my FTR retreating and your edits. Game back on!

[boldfresh]

ok sounds fine to me.

cheers

[Odonis]

Understand you are busy. Whenever you’re ready….

[boldfresh]

hey Odonis, sorry, kinda forgot about this one.  i thought i had sent a msg to all my opponents explaining how busy i am and asking to relax the 72 hour post rule.  thanks for understanding, we will be rolling again soon, i will see if i can post today - have to try to remember what my master plan was  :wink:

[boldfresh]

2 ANZAC ftrs on the same US acc in z100

[Odonis]
