@The_Good_Captain

It took me awhile, but I see what you mean as the G1, G3, G4, G5 North Sea dice are not grossly out of whack all put together.

After the 1% G3 result, I would have continued if the prize was $5,000

We re-set, and played just for fun. G4 was lucky with 0 planes lost instead of “supposed to be” 2, which set up G5 situation.

After the 1% G5 result, I would continue if the prize was $5,000, but I’m not going to grind out a just-for-fun game trying to win, and I think it might even be insulting to continue against a strong player after losing 6/7 of your luftwaffe early in the game in that situation, to say I will show you that I can still beat you

:) :) I only post this because I think it’s fun and mutually enjoyable to talk about the game and situations we all looked at. Hope I’m not wrong.

@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

Unpinned - because of inactivty.
