@nikola1975 said in PTV L25 PlayOff: Surfer (Allies) vs Nikola1975 (Axis +9):
@surfer Yes :) Let’s see how you react.
Ok. Let’s try this. Scramble orders?
YIKES! I AM REMOVING THE DESTROYER FROM THAT BATTLE. i repeat NO DESTROYER. heh.
everything else the same.
Scramble?
Yes, of course
I’ll try to check back often for any casualty choices you need
Sure was nice of my marine to roll over and die for you, huh
Lose subs in the first round if your cruiser and/or sub hits.
2 air hits. where do u want them.
how bout i do the honors. damage a carrier, lose a destroyer (u can pick the destroyer later if i pick the wrong one)
I see the dice - ouch……
I think the calculator might have deceived you a little bit (it always takes a hit to the carrier first) and mixed fleet and air battles often confuse calculators, but maybe that wasn’t even a factor. Kind of hard to tell from dice e-mails…
Anyway, you gave me a little scare because you actually attacked. I wasn’t counting on the Australian boats, but I did divert that UK destroyer to 94 at the last minute
I guess you kind of had to go for it
a good result on a 73% attack was what Germany needed to reverse its fortunes (after a very poor early game showing), and give Japan the air it needed to have a shot at winning this thing.
unfortunately, a good result didn’t happen, making what was probable certain. you play a fierce allies game, and your strategies/tactics seem quiet well suited to the balance mod (e.g., effective use of marines, raids on western europe, etc.)
gg bruv
now i’d like to spectate a mod game between you and a master/elite challenger :P
Thanks man, that 3rd game seemed to be your best showing - I had to bring my A game
Playing masters is an awful lot of work - maybe I can find someone I think is overrated and knock them down a peg. I’ll have more time soon, and I will be looking to play balanced mod more
I’ve got to finish a couple more games before this one even counts, thanks to the league rules :-P
Anyway, thanks for a good time! I know you can win a lot of league games with your skills. Your knowledge of the rules will be helpful to people, I’m sure, too
before you typed that, i already put out the open invitation for master/elites to challenge you in BM. Whoops!
It’s OK! Nice of you to say that though
I don’t normally turn down a challenge - only when I’m too busy, which I won’t be soon
