Cow (allies +13) vs. Bold

[Cow]

Eh… idk if it was luck… 3 attacks to stop you from taking calcutta… I got less than average hits with USA in the first attack that is the most critical.

[Cow]

Roll away. I will lose tilt carrier fighters last.

on the whole it may not have been lucky - but when it takes three attacks to take down one zone there’s always a great chance of failure.  and you were down to your last shot at 30% - if that fails, you lose india for next to nothing in a crushing attack.  but that’s all in the past let’s see how z91 goes.

[Cow]

You will sink it. 95% odds or so. Question is what will you lose for it.

[boldfresh]

i just rolled it in local - missed every single dice on the round 1 roll and lost badly.  if it goes like that it’s game over immediately.  now as to your ool - best defense except save acc for last?

[boldfresh]

if you are down to an acc and 2 ftrs and i hit you once - do you tip the acc or lose a ftr?  i just am not sure what you want.  if you tip the acc while ftrs are still alive then they cannot land on the acc.

you might win but i might give you a little tiny scare.

it’s been fun either way.

cheers

[boldfresh]

very interesting position here, that’s why i want to continue.  very cool.\

in another round or two i may see it’s hopeless, which it probably will be.

[Cow]

You will be playing against AI soon. Sadly they do not defend things well they just attack. So I have to secure things.
