G2 posted… and not one shot was fired!!  :?

[Private-Panic]

Is that because we have no units left?

[Witt]

Weird!
Might be, PP.

[Elrood]

@Private:

Is that because we have no units left?

I rather put that to the, historically correct, peace loving nature of the German Liberation forces during WW2.  :roll:

Unlucky Adam.
Are you sure you want 2 Air and not another Carrier for the Pacific? I will tear you another hole, if you are not careful.

[Private-Panic]

No I am not sure Leo! These are hard choices! Japan is getting an easy ride!

[Witt]

I prefer a hard ride. An easy ride is for girls.
Mark said he thought his side was in labour.
You having a good day?

[Credulous]

I can’t believe how the dice are panning out in this game. As it we weren’t up against it enough through taking on the seasoned pros!

[Witt]

Has been excessively bad for you; SZ97 was the worst reverse I have ever seen.

[Elrood]

It was a battle that I would not haven taken in this situation. I dont know if you used Battle Calculator, but in this case it would show you a wrong number… as you had the AC in the combat which should not be used as casualty, else you would not be able to land the 2 fighters from London…

So you would have to take it out, bringing the battle to a mere 50% … and that can swing heavy in either direction.

Sure Axis were excessively lucky in that battle which was forced on them, but if the cheapest casualty you can choose is a 10 IPC fighter, you should make sure you can survive such bad luck.

Even at average rolls the losses for UK would have been profound. Even if Uk had survived with an AC and 2 planes, then still Italy could haven taken deadly revenge suddenly no more allied forces in MED…

It was mistake to choose that battle. The dice are not the ones to blame here.  :|
