14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

[boldfresh]

ha, didn’t realize you had posted!

[boldfresh]

can we just marvel for a moment at how incredibly bad my last two russian rounds have been?  i lost an aircraft that round and failed in caucasus as well.  you are just not missing on defense against the russians and it is hurting badly.

[boldfresh]

not complaining about the dice mind you, just marveling at
the last two russian round outcomes - has to be about a 0.1%
result when combined!

[wheatbeer]

If you want to reroll Ukraine or just revive your tact, I’ll give you a free pass (no strings attached).

[boldfresh]

You can put the tac in moscow if you wish.  Crazy dice.

[boldfresh]

The dice cost me multiple infantry but the tac is pretty extreme.  The other thing more fair to you is for your italian inf to survive as well.

[wheatbeer]

Ok doke … hopefully he misses if the US/Brits attack him  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

Working on NCM now.

Am I right in thinking that the Chinese fighter can’t attack at sea?

[wheatbeer]

map posted under the assumption that the Chinese fighter is limited to land combat, let me know if I’m wrong

[wheatbeer]

I’ll be traveling this week (23-27) for Christmas and may or may not be able to post.

[boldfresh]

Yes the chinese ftr cannot attack a sea zone.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, this map is good to go then

[boldfresh]

you have too much material wheat!!!  and i just keep getting
bombers shot down (4 in last 2 turns i think?)… in addition to smothering me in russia.  probably going to need to take some time to decide what desperate strategy I will try to employ here.  any chance you want to make this a full luck game from here on out to spice it up a tad and give me a sporting “chance”?  ie, no LL rerolls?

[wheatbeer]

Can we make an exception for < 5% chance of outcome results?

[wheatbeer]

Or if you’re sure you want strait up pure luck, I’d be okay with that I suppose.

After all, so far this match has been pure luck excluding Japan’s resurrection of 1 tact over NSW.

[boldfresh]

yeah, my only chance is for you to make a 95%+ attack and fail  :lol:

[boldfresh]

or for me to make a 5% or less attack and succeed.  lol

[wheatbeer]

Okay, consider it done.
