Boldfresh (Allies +6) vs. Nerquen (Axis), G40, no tech

[boldfresh]

that beginner’s luck is stubborn i’ll give you that.  but it aint gunna be enuf.

[nerquen]

I know, it would not be a good game if a novice with luck could win against a pro… I would be actually thankful if you could note all my mistakes you see into a text file and share it then with me when you win… if it does not take too much time for you

[boldfresh]

don’t bump me anymore and i’ll consider it.  :wink:

cheers

[boldfresh]

your J1 gave me a shot at ending the game on US1 at minimal risk.  the dice bailed you big time, so it turned out to be a net positive for you.  attacking z110 on G2 was not a good idea, and the dice bailed you again, making it again a wash or a slight positive for you.

fun huh?

[nerquen]

Thanks for the feedback

@Boldfresh:

how so, do I miss a rule?

@Boldfresh:

attacking z110 on G2 was not a good idea, and the dice bailed you again?

Why not, if you did not scramble I would trade your DD to 1/3 of my plane. That sounds like a good deal, or is not?

If you scramble, what you did, then TripleA battle calculator was giving that on average you still lose more than me so again I though it is a good deal for me. Was it not a good idea because average result is not important but that I made unnecessary risk to lose my air? Or is it a case that 1 German plane is of more value than an allied plane?

[boldfresh]

no you did not miss a rule. I just meant the game would effectively be over if you had lost those three transports

[nerquen]

I see… you are right I bit overestimated power of my kamikadze… they all missed :(

[boldfresh]

yes.  bottom line, it was a huge risk for the axis and a relatively minimal risk for the USA

[nerquen]

bump - unofficial…

[boldfresh]

i posted R2 - scroll down a bit.

[nerquen]

whoops… totally missed that… I will do my turn later tonight … in ~ 5 hours
