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

[boldfresh]

to be honest, i made a mistake - because i had built an AB in berlin in one of my iterations for the previous move - in my head i was thinking i had an AB in berlin.  which made me think i was going to easily sink your fleet in 92.  until i tried to fly my planes there.  :?  so then i had to scramble into save rome mode and this was my first and best hope, to clear 92 with the germans.  whew.

Not surprising.  btw pls post summaries.  I don’t want to mess around with triplea too much and it’s easier and more time efficient for me to just read the summaries.

Believe me, I am infamous for bad dicing.  Like I said I run cumulative totals of over/under hits and it’s not even funny.  My good luck games are when it’s fairly average.  For example this last turn I hit 9 times whereas the “average” was 15.7.  That’s almost half under and a lot of those could have been air.

In contrast you hit 36 times vs an average of 33.5 and this was a “bad” round for you as you normally always hit single defenders.  Since this game is suppose to be fairly balanced, bad attrition normally makes it impossible to win.

[boldfresh]

I will say it again.  I always post summaries from triplea when it is possible but when I am posting from my hotspot it doesnt work.  So then I will post the game file righr where you can post the summary just like you did.

[gamerman01]

@hobo:

My good luck games are when it’s fairly average.

[hobo]

I’m sbr germany with 4 bombers, you want to intercept with your fighters?

[hobo]

better take something for that cold gamerman

[boldfresh]

Post the summary…

[hobo]

just small battles

[boldfresh]

Dont have my computer can only read the text.  Post combat summary so I can read it?

[hobo]

I took s.ger, w.fra, nor, and swe no losses in each.  Nothing major it was just overkill on single defenders.

I can’t or don’t know how to post in the middle of the combat, it’s prompting me to intercept or not with your 5 fighters.  I have 4 bombers, b-29s no less.  If you already got 262s let’s boggle.

[boldfresh]

alright send em all up - 5 ftrs.  in the future, just after you make all your combat moves and click “done” you are given three choices:

View move summary
Post move summary
Done

this is where you click “post move summary”.

[gamerman01]

@hobo:

better take something for that cold gamerman

:-) Thank you, that’s very kind

[boldfresh]

i have to say hobo, i have never seen an approach quite like yours in global yet.  it is quite fierce.

[boldfresh]

by the way, to comply with the rules, the order of combat is:

1. strat and tac bombing runs (any order)
2. amphibious assaults (preceeded by naval battles in the amphib assault sea zones if applicable) any order
3. all other combat (any order)

cheers  :wink:

[hobo]

I normally “post” summary when a defender decision might be required.  I just forgot about the interceptor rule which I can’t remember is new or old after a 3 year absence.

ps b-29s shot down one of yours  :lol:
