Losing the battle for Egypt makes up some of the bad luck you’ve had.

@seththenewb:

Losing the battle for Egypt makes up some of the bad luck you’ve had.

THIS is what I wanted to see.

I was disappointed in losing one more infantry than I expected when assaulting Egypt, but it doesn’t matter if the counterattack goes poorly.

Now, time to look…  :mrgreen:

[gamerman01]

We won’t talk about what luck made up for what……
Slippery slope, in my experience…
I see you were unscathed in Bel and Z93!!  :-)
I’m just happy I finally caught a break

I had no business winning Sz81. Originally I just wanted to strafe it enough that the Brits couldn’t come after the Italian navy before retreating to back up the Italians in Alexandria. When it came down to the fighter vs bb(d) I camethisclose to pulling out. But the allure of killing all those transports kept me in it and am I glad I did.

[boldfresh]

11/3 against 9/4 - that must be about a 30/70 battle or something no?  well worth the risk with 3 trn involved.

[seth4god]

Losing the fighter would’ve given Gamer a good shot at Alexandria. I need at least the fighter to fly in. Even so, he’s probably going to hurt me since I only have one ground unit there.

[gamerman01]

Just happy I hit twice

[gamerman01]

Never mind.  I didn’t realize you only took in 3 aircraft.  You’re crazy, man, and you got away with murder again.
4 more AA misses - nice

[seth4god]

Like I said, originally I just wanted to do enough damage that the Italian navy had a good chance at standing you off. But when it came down to it I saw I had a chance to do even more damage than I’d planned on and took it.

I do feel your pain, but I can’t apologize for the crazy dice. I’ve been on the other end a time or two and I’ll be on the other side of it again.

[gamerman01]

No, I understand everything - I’ll be happy when I get average dice or better in Alexandria
