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

[boldfresh]

really you got lucky that i only shot down 1 of your planes.  really lucky.

[boldfresh]

what i need you to do is post your map so i can see all your moves and your purchase…  :roll:

[Odonis]

All you have to do is refer to my posted map before the combat move began… But here it is again.

I took Spain without a loss.

[boldfresh]

lose 3 aa, inf, bom

[boldfresh]

will i get another one of my famously bad first round defense rolls?  probably.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

since the battle in spain many moons ago would have been GAME OVER if you hadn’t gotten INCREDIBLY lucky - maybe this battle will be the great equalizer?  you may think the last egypt battle was, but you would be very wrong.  it would have been if i had been left with about 5 or 6 more units maybe.

[boldfresh]

More ridiculous luck for you.  You dont need ool anymore.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

why on earth would you roll that attack and then not finished the battle. Makes absolutely no sense to me how you play.  must be superstition that’s all I can guess.

[boldfresh]

Anywya the ool is obviously max defense now.  :roll:  just get this over with  :lol:

[boldfresh]

if you take it with the Germans, which you probably will, I will just laugh.

[boldfresh]

7 of 8… I mean what a joke.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

what did you do, die of a heart attack when you saw those unbelievably good dice???

[Odonis]

Sorry, preparing for the arrival of a baby and work has been manic…

round 3 coming up

Scramble into SZ 81?

@Odonis:

Scramble into SZ 81?

No

[boldfresh]

Still no justice.  You overhit with the germans and now I underhit against the japanese.  Ridiculous.

[Odonis]

Hey Bold - For some reason I was too quick on the draw for the Guam battle. I thought I had scrambled your FTR (big idiot I am I totally forgot about the scramble ability to defend against my unprotected transport!!) yet, for some reason it didn’t scramble and I conducted combat instead.

Just to confirm before I proceed, what’s the rule here? No combat happens over land so my FTR just continues to land with no battle, right?

Unless for some reason you’re cool with not scrambling you FTR in the first place ;) - just checking…

J23 - Postcom.tsvg

[boldfresh]

the ftr scrambles and kills the transport and your fighter has movement points left from guam.
