15L Playoff Rd2: Balladeer (Axis) vs. Alexgreat (Allies +26)

[Balladeer]

Don’t know if it’s enough for you, but I got 10 hits.

Not sure if it was necessary for you to force this, but if either one wins with +50 TUV or more it’s probably game indeed…

[lexgreat]

10 keeps you in the fight, no let down at all. Huge swing against you already unlikely.

[lexgreat]

Remove the AAs, 5 UK infs and one US inf, pls.

So many 5 and 6 rolls. The AAs, the cruiser, your attack rolls. Wee bit underwhelmed by my AA gun, but better one than none :)

[Balladeer]

You got 8 hits, killing 3 inf and 5 mech inf, I have 2 mech inf, 1 artillery, 4 ftr, 4 tb and 4 sb remaining.

Got 6 more hits and you have 1 inf, 2 mech inf, 1 tank and 8 fighters (of which 1 french) remaing. can I assume you want to keep as many UK fighters as possible and take the rest?

[Balladeer]

To speed things up I’ll just assume you want that, if not we can always reroll afterwards.

[Balladeer]

Still beter than average for you….

[lexgreat]

yes, over the whole game it doesnt feel as I am disadvantaged by the dice.

[Balladeer]

Don’t know exactly about the whole game, but ita v UK turn 1 and there 2 big battles (Ger - UK/US and Jap US/ANZ) were favourable for you indeed…

[lexgreat]

I planned an US bombing raid on N-Ita, but wont do it. In order to not repeat all steps (buys, combat manouver), I will just ignore any results and edit any damage or downing. Sry.
