Tough turns.

Especially with a belly full of turkey and pie!

@Boldfresh:

the “bias” if there is one, is one of recent memory…  and is influenced largely by the loss of the 3 cruiser which tightened up the pacific dramatically, and is not included in this calc.

Well, I guess it is 2 cruisers “only” as 1 hit would have been the average right?

However, I guess you have to allow the spectators to be a bit astonished you give these 2 cruisers so much relevance after this post you made  :wink:

@Boldfresh:

it’s not really much of a decision, we are way past kamis having much significance.

[boldfresh]

Jdow I said it cuz I difnt want them to use them. :wink:

[boldfresh]

Imagine if they had used all 6 they may have totally stopped our momentum in the pacific!  :-o

Comfort food should make the turns more palatable.  :wink:

I dont think hank will take a swing at the fleet…  but I triple dog dare him to try.

[Hank13]

oooo, triple dog…

[boldfresh]

@Hank13:

oooo, triple dog…

:-P

Let me know if I need to raise the ante but triple gog should suffice.

Cow with your help maybe allweneedishank can win.  I know for a fact you dont want to face us so go ahead and help these guys all you want.

[Cow]

They have the odds to sink your fleet without DDs. 60-70% odds, as long as the naval is lost first so the subs dont participate.  Japan can instantly get some good africa money with just 2 transports. TUV swing is about even, but if Japan gets lucky it would force you to use a reroll, in which case the battle would end up being about even (assuming your 1 time reroll is a low luck reroll and not a dice reroll).

That is my two cents.

Italy can fortress Europe. Germany will eventually take Russia. That is as long as Japan is doing something. May as well wreck sink USA. What else is Japan going to do with his air?

[Cow]

That is ‘my help’

I am not playing so I do not give a shit. They might be calculating other things. The easiest way to win this would be to blow out the naval and get Japan on the ball.

The income war continues it seems.

Russia airbase on Finland could be interesting… Russia kinda needs men… but it would be funny.

Italy should really max placements on Europe and ease Germany’s burden.
