16L G40 Balanced Mod 2.0 JDOW (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

[JDOW]

phew…that kind of sea lion is very risky, seemed that after AA you might have been doomed, then I guess dice turned back big.
However it this attack goes wrong I guess this game is over already.

Looks like you dodged a bullet?

[Shin-Ji]

Yea, I was sweating a bit when all those AA hits came through.  But i was willing to lose planes in this fight anyway.

Generally, the real bummer of sea lion was having to spend a bunch of money on transports, and I avoided that this time.

[JDOW]

I had calculated that attack and though it is bad enough for the Axis to invite it. Let’s see if this was too optimistic :)

Phew, another round of stunning dice. Battle in 21 was shaky and you got 2 hits first round when you needed then.

Twos in asia hit 3/15, makes it total 4/21. Combined with G1 and the sea lion, Allies seem to be in desperation mode already.

[Shin-Ji]

I don’t see how it was shaky.  If I had missed with both, and you hit with both (unlikely), then we’d be in 50/50 territory.  Perhaps I’m more of a risk taker than I realized.  You’re not the first to tell me so!

@Shin:

I don’t see how it was shaky.  If I had missed with both, and you hit with both (unlikely), then we’d be in 50/50 territory.  Perhaps I’m more of a risk taker than I realized.  You’re not the first to tell me so!

:-D

I had it on 86/6/8 (not sure if the calculator messes something up with the sub though). so 14% of failure or to lose valuable ships is significant to me. I am rather risk averse. And I was rather whining about not taking a single ship down in 21 and about total of 3 hits below average.
Early dice matter most and take it as a compliment, the more I am complaining the more I see my party in trouble :)

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, I hear you!  I’m not complaining at all.  I’m picking your brain.  You’re rated quite a bit higher than I am, so I’m seeing what I might be overlooking.
