Odonis (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +11) G40L No Tech

[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.

[boldfresh]

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:

[boldfresh]

don’t let up, you are going to have your hands completely full for the remainder of this game.  remains to be seen if surviving almost your entire luftwaffe while wiping out all my american forces in europe will give you the edge, but wow, what a shift in the game.  you do realize that you were 10 units up in that battle right?  you were taking a desperation shot right?  just curious if you somehow calculated it wrong and thought you had the advantage in that battle…  :-P

[boldfresh]

TUV is EXACTLY equal.  :-D

[Odonis]

I knew it was a gamble, but I also knew taking Spain was critical for me to win…

[boldfresh]

it was then or never.  so i’m telling you you did the right thing, the only thing you COULD do.  and now we have a game, which makes me happy!!  :-D

[boldfresh]

your up donis.
