2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[Ghostglider]

I am sure you will manage to kill most of my fleet anyway, but I will keep it alive another round

ANZAC FTR + US FTR dies

[gamerman01]

I realize that since your air can only hit air, I will go ahead and keep rolling in Triple A - I reserve my right to change casualty choice between fighters/tacs after seeing your ships roll.

[gamerman01]

Oh, and good choice (haven’t rolled defensive dice yet)

[gamerman01]

You hit 3/4 with planes and 1/4 with boats.  I lost 2 fighters and a tac, and 1 sub

My 3 subs all missed and I hit 2/3 with aircraft.  How do you take your 2 hits?

Round 2, there are 2 air hits to allocate - see my post below

[Ghostglider]

2 casulties:AC-> AC-hit + US FTR
remaining defense:
3 AC-hit, 1 BB-hit, 1 US FTR

[gamerman01]

Well, your luck continues throughout……

I have lost all my planes after your planes hit 2/2 and you got another hit from boats
Then I hit 1 carrier, you hit me back
I missed 0/2, you hit me again
My last remaining sub scores a hit.  You have 2 carriers and 1 battleship.  Do you lose another carrier, or the battleship?

[Ghostglider]

Against subs in this battle - lose AC’s first; keep BB as long as possible

[gamerman01]

Well, I’m down to 1, so OK
I’m asking because when you have boats survive, you might be wishing you had lost the battleship.  Best to make sure.

[Ghostglider]

Scramble in z95?
Intercept in Ukraine?

[gamerman01]

Still working on 95
No intercept in Ukraine

[gamerman01]

I hate to put myself at the mercy of the dice again, but this is my chance to kill all those subs.

Scramble 3 fighters

[Ghostglider]

Before we see the dice I agree that scrambling was the strongest choice - maybe the dice dont agree  8-)

[gamerman01]

It was close

Are you sure you don’t want to roll this on the forum?
I see one sub hit - take off a sub for now, but if something crazy happens, like all misses, I have the right to change my mind

[gamerman01]

Uh, an Italian sub

Sounds like lunch
