[boldfresh]

4 aa, uk inf, 5 US inf

[boldfresh]

just FYI - all strategic and tactical bombing raids are done first in the order of combat.

order of combat:

1. strategic and tactical bombing raids (in any order)
2. amphibious assaults (in any order)
3. all other combat (in any order)

my fighter in persia WILL intercept.

[Odonis]

9 hits Rd 2…

[boldfresh]

very glad to see you getting great dice here in a huge battle, will make this game much more fun…  :wink:

max defense from here on out.  lose the british tanks before the american tacs

[boldfresh]

i gave you a 33% shot at spain because if it went badly for you, it would be a quick demise.  if it went well, wee could have some real fun.  glad it went the latter direction.

heh, well, i was hoping for something inside the most common 80% of results…  looks like we are going to be in the upper 5% or so for you.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

should still result in an allied victory
but now it’s going to be much more
of a challenge… and i love a
challenge.  :-)

[boldfresh]

wow, that was truly incredible - you ended up with like 10 units right?  incredible dice  :-o

[boldfresh]

i probably woulda done the same thing though.  if you don’t attack there and get hella lucky, this one was over and QUICK.

[boldfresh]

i promise you i am not complaining - just marveling.  the german bomber kills the anzac bomber, then bombs persia and survives (probably at least a 30 ipc swing, plus more to come).  THEN, the germans
completely massacre a spain filled with high value targets.  and they come out with an extra
TEN aircraft.  this is at least an immediate 100+ ipc swing plus more to come.

and yet i still think the axis is going to lose.  crazy.

hmmm, i may have to accept that after that thrashing of spain, you may be in the drivers seat.  :|

[Odonis]

Glad to hear ;)

Actually, Spain was the first battle in this game I actually had some luck…

[boldfresh]

really?  how about when your sub survived against my destroyer, your german bomber killed my anzac bomber?  my memory for dice is not very good, especially with a long layoff and so busy with everything else.  have the dice been in my favor this game?

[boldfresh]

i know i got lucky killing a stack in west india,
just not sure if it matters.  that battle in spain was GIGANTIC.

[boldfresh]

looking at this for a while, my gut tells me i’m still in the drivers seat, but now i have to be very careful.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

i continue to be in awe.  your bomber hit my bomber and survived and your sub hit my destroyer… thank goodness it did not survive AGAIN!  :lol:
