2014 League playoff rd 2 - (3) Zhukov44(+18) vs (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[boldfresh]

@Gamerman01:

Obviously, the Germans are coming with 12 aircraft, so I left the Allies with 4 AA guns in North Italy and chose 2 UK infantry.  I think that leaves you with your best defense, but if you want to change the casualty choice of course please do that

12 of 12 aa shots???  Stranger things have happened.

[gamerman01]

You had the option to intercept in Queensland - I decided to give you the advantage of an after-AA decision and keep things moving - certainly, roll the air battle if you want to intercept

[Zhukov44]

Well my chances in this game are probably 1 in 500 at best, but among other things I’m curious to see what you do next as Japan.

[Zhukov44]

There it goes.  Looks like I got a hit.  Your rolls were 6 and 4.  I can’t remember the convention as to whether its 6 dmg or 4 dmg (eg whether you use the 1st or 2nd die), but either way, my airbase is still disabled.

[Zhukov44]

I’m going to take away the bomber on New Zealand–if you prefer to keep that one and take the other pls edit.
