Maybe my luck’s coming back

Need casualty choice for 33, and submerge decision for 92 please, thanks

Fun game - brings back memories of the games I had 20 years ago where we lost units faster than we could produce them.  America has almost nothing left here, nor does Britain

[gamerman01]

Or Australia  :lol:
Yeah, this is an old style game

[gamerman01]

I’ve also killed almost all of the Russians that I possibly could have  :lol:  :lol:

[gamerman01]

1641 TUV and dropping… This will be a new record low for me or any opponent I’ve had, since I started keeping track about a year ago

[gamerman01]

Lowest TUV I’ve recorded in 11 games since last year at UK3 was 1970, which is what Karl had when I played him.  Looks like we will shatter that.  Please excuse all the posts…  :-P  Waiting on 2 decisions from you - see below

[bmnielsen]

I’m away from my computer for the next few days, but we should be able to get these battles done, I’ll just need to verify which units are present.

In sz92 I’m assuming it’s sub vs. dd sub transport. If that is correct, don’t submerge and take the sub as first hit.

In sz33 it looks like this, if I read the history correctly:

Attacker: 2 sub, 3 dd, carrier, bship, 2 ftr, bmb
Defender: sub, dd, cruiser, 2 carrier, 4 ftr, tipped bship

If this is correct I’ll take sub, cruiser, full carrier and ftr for the 5 hits.

Right, thanks for confirming.

That is exactly correct, thank you for keeping the game moving, you’re a sport.

[gamerman01]

Another very tough roll… That makes for a difficult decision

[gamerman01]

I lose 2 subs, 3 destroyers, and the battleship
Retreat carrier to Z48 (Gilbert)
Retreat 2 fighters and bomber to Carolines (moved now so Triple A won’t roll dice in 33)
