13L G40 Gamerman01(allies+10) vs seththenewb(axis) take 2

[seth4god]

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

Ouch, you trying out that SBR campaign?

[gamerman01]

No, there just wasn’t anything else for the bombers to do and I didn’t think he would send them up

[gamerman01]

Actually looking to start working on this USA turn now

[gamerman01]

Did you recognize that was the exact same situation you had against me, when you shot down both of my fighters and escaped 5 die rolls yourself?

[seth4god]

Ha, yeah I did.

[gamerman01]

Sickening

[gamerman01]

No matter - I’m gonna beat ya’ll anyway  :evil:

[seth4god]

@Gamerman01:

Sickening

@Gamerman01:

No matter - I’m gonna beat ya’ll anyway  :evil:

What happened now?

[gamerman01]

Nothing yet - I’m just saying I like my chances against SouL and you, so this little string of terrible luck won’t matter

You gonna be around a lil while?  Gonna need a casualty choice in Alex on UK’s turn

About to pull the trigger on USA combat

[seth4god]

Damn, after those posts I thought I’d gotten even more luck.  :evil:

And yeah, I will be.
