    that could not have gone much worse…… a opening perhaps?

    @JWW:

    that could not have gone much worse…… a opening perhaps?

    Whoa.  Yeah, I’d say it’s an opening.  Probably an opening and a half.  The dice gods don’t want to see this game over in 7 rounds, I guess…  Sorry I sound like a broken record, but you’d better not let up on me for a second!

    It’s really weird.  Remember that Baltic States attack was a carefully designed hit and run.  There was only like a 9% chance that I would “accidentally” win.  Thank goodness I lost the German fighter in East Poland to stop the Russian blitzing to Baltic States, although that extra hit still hurt.  But it sure is weird how that 9%er led to that.

    I’ll check my calculator to see what the odds of that AA fire were.  I lost 3 of 5 in a critical attack of Bel on G2 against Bold and that really set me back hard.

    Like I said, you have to take your shots against a decent player, and there’s nothing you can do about the times you get diced but just hope it happens to the other guy…  Anyway, WHEW!  :-)  Germany isn’t nearly as suffocated now!

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    AA fire
    3.22% chance of losing 3
    3.55% chance of losing 3 or more

    Of course, that is one very very critical 3%er that I won

    Then the odds of only getting 0 or 1 hits in the first round - about 9%

    Yeah, that was a fantastic lucky break for me - not a moment too soon

    Gotta eat, then will play soon - yay, I have new hope!  Trying to keep J Dub from blemishing my 2011 record!!  :-P

    @JWW:

    this was the risky battle I thought

    No way, man, flying five fighters over AA is much much riskier than an artillery on an infantry…  Tough luck - they both went badly for you…

    I5 with 13, buy 3 INF, ART
    It’s time for the Axis to push back…  I’m gonna turn this game around now  :wink:

    Combat moves -

    Oh jeez, just realized that was worth 7 IPC’s to UK and it’s impossible for you to take back Egypt by UK6…  A big step in the right direction.  Denying the USA France is another huge step in the right direction, and then kicking Russia out of Europe, maybe for good, and getting the German NO back…  Jeez, I think this game has hit a major turning point.  :-)

    Pummeled by your defense yet again, but I got the hits I needed.  Good enough….

    Fra - 4 INF (Ger) Fuggedaboutit.  I see your carrier space in Z7 - nice try.
    Z14 - FTR (Z13) Forgot about that German transport…  Guess I’ll try to save it…

    Collect 8, 8 on hand

    Nearly made the mistake of counterattacking the Balkans with the Italians…  Not always the best move to take territory just because you can…

    I owe you a move!  Hopefully will get it in today, but if not will be tomorrow.  Probably today.

    It is illegal to destroy the transport in Z51 and also make a combat move through Z51 to take the Phillipines.  You can only do one or the other.  Since Germany is next and is unaffected by Pacific things, you can resolve this when you’re doing your Russian turn.

  • 25 24 23 22 15 11 10 Official Q&A Mod

    It is also illegal to place the infantry in Chi.  You already have 3 Chinese units there.  The fighter counts as a Chinese unit.  I have placed the infantry in Sik.

    I am leaving the Jap transport in 51 assuming you want to take the Phillipines more than you want to destroy the transport.  If you decide you don’t want to take the Phillipines and you want to destroy the transport in 51, just say so during the Russian turn, that’s fine.

    2 illegal moves!  Gotta watch this guy!  :wink:
