15L Playoff Rd1: [1] bmnielsen (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +28)

@bmnielsen:

If this is the diciest it gets, I’ll be happy :P

That’s strange…. Your bomber strategy lives and dies by dice.  You came out smelling like a rose from Rome and the subsequent Z95  :-P
Don’t talk to me about not liking dicey battles, until you lose a few big ones!!

Swap out the french cruiser in 110 for the british if you like, I just took the default casualty.

Keep in mind that in our last game I was already in the hole after a few blunders, so I had to take some risks that luckily (quite literally) paid off. I’m certainly not hoping to have to repeat it :)

I don’t remember blunders, but thanks, good post.  I hoped you wouldn’t take the talk about dice in a bad direction.  Classy

I just remember a disappointing result against the USA navy early when you lost nearly nothing.

Anyway, did I get lucky here?  Let’s see……

[gamerman01]

Wow.  I am so used to losing everything in those 2 battles, and I didn’t lose a single plane or battleship - that is fantastic luck for me.  Even getting 3 hits in Yugo……

I gotta do a J18 against Ghost first  :-( but you’re #2 priority until that one is over, then #1

[gamerman01]

Yeah, losing the French cruiser.  I got it - thanks for the heads up, I appreciate that

Assumed you would intercept in London, worked out fine for you so I don’t expect any objections :P

At least the Italian navy got a bit of revenge…

Ai yi yi you took the dicey route again.  Glad they didn’t all go your way
