13L G40 Stalingradski(allies+10) vs BombsAway(axis)

Let’s try that again.

Your boats (can hit both air and boats)
Rolls: 8@2, 1@3, 2@4; Total Hits: 48@2,: (2, 5, 3, 4, 3, 1, 2, 5)1@3,: (6)2@4: (6, 3)

Your planes (can hit planes only)
Rolls: 5@3, 5@4; Total Hits: 75@3,: (5, 2, 1, 5, 3)5@4: (2, 5, 3, 3, 4)

Ok, so I have 6 bombers and a sub left over. I’ll retreat.

You have 2 tipped battleships, a tipped carrier, and a cruiser left at sea. You have 5 fighters and 5 tac bombers that can land on Hawaii.

All in all, considering I should have killed all of your boats and aircraft and still had sixteen units remaining, that was a staggeringly bad battle for me. Frankly, in nearly 30 years of playing, it may have been the worst I’ve ever experienced in a battle of that scale, involving the value of the units.

On average, I should have won with 10 bombers, 3 tacs, and 3 fighters remaining. I retreated with 6 bombers and a sub remaining. Shift in value = 105 IPCs.

You should have lost everything, but were left with 2 damaged battleships, a damaged carrier, a cruiser, 5 tacs, 5 fighters and 4 transports = 209 IPCs extra.

Add the two together = 314 IPC shift in value. Wow. It is unlikely that either of us will ever see a shift like that again.

I need to reroll everything, then edit the map to reflect what happened the first time I rolled - it’s all captured between Marti and here on the site. It’ll take me a little while, then I’ll post it, then take China’s turn.

Well now.  I’m almost sorry to do this, as that turn took a considerable amount of effort.  But I must concede defeat.  Even with all the luck I needed even more.  Thanks for the game enjoyed it very much.  I’m up for a second, as was discussed at the onset.  Hope you don’t mind the slow pace?

I have the updated version of tripleA.  For my bid I’ll take a fighter in Scotland.

Congratulations on your victory.

[Stalingradski]

Thanks sir - I didn’t mean to get too wacky with that last sea battle, but it was something I’d never seen before, and I was pretty well flabbergasted.

Yes, I’m in for a second! I’ll try to start it up tonight, if I can - and the Scottish fighter is a nice bid choice.
