13L G40 Boldfresh vs. hobo (allies +5)

[hobo]

Ahh I see it, these are really my first games with triplea

[hobo]

hit the carrier, and lose a fighter

[boldfresh]

@hobo:

hit the carrier, and lose a fighter

would you have hit the acc in round 1?  if so, you have a cruiser rolling in round 2.

[hobo]

yeah its the obvious hit since the fighters have a place to land and nothing else can attack it.

[boldfresh]

ok, so the acc will take the first hit in round 1 then?

[boldfresh]

if so, i will just roll an extra 3 here in the forum for your cruiser in round 2 defense.

[hobo]

np roll away.

[boldfresh]

so what will you lose in round 2 then?

[boldfresh]

you tipped the acc in round 1… then in round 2 you take the two hits as?

[hobo]

cruiser and fighter

[boldfresh]

ok, you hit once with your tipped acc, 2 ftr, bat, now to roll for the missing cruiser

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (6)

[boldfresh]

retreating the remaining bomber - where will you land the ftr?

[hobo]

algeria is fine

[boldfresh]

uhhhhh, we have an interesting situation.  i was not
rolling live dice!!!

[boldfresh]

i love it when that happens.  so that means i will have to reload the game and roll
the dice live…  :evil:

[boldfresh]

although knowing my history of bad luck, the live dice will probably go
WORSE!

so there’s the move…

let’s see how the real dice go.  probably will get shot down in w germany…  :wink:

[boldfresh]

well hobo, you are officially cursed in this game….  live dice are
going MUCH better than they did when i was running it in local.  got only 1 damage in w germany base, but the rest went much better.  here is the map - got 4 hits in round 1 of z92…  so how will you take them?  :-o

[boldfresh]

sorry for the confusion - been a long day.

don’t know if you’ve run into this yet, but in local, the dice are not sent out by email and thus cannot be verified.  there ave been times where i thought i was just testing a turn in local but the dice were live - when that happens, it’s pretty much tough luck.  in this case, it was the reverse - though i was rolling live but was actually in local.  the dice have to be rolled in PBEM mode though or they are not valid…

but let’s not get ahead of ourselves - you are probably still favored to hold the zone.  let me know your first round losses.
