I give up.  i was >50% to sink your fleet here, which may have given me a chance.

I am sorry Yoshi, I am going to resign again for obvious reasons.  Nice start to your league season!

Cheers

Your fleet was vulnerable and I felt with the tough start again, it was possibly my best chance to get back some of the early losses.  Perhaps it was not the best move to make, but the odds told me that the chance to sink a battleship and 2 transports while risking the cruiser and submarine which were dead soon anyway was well worth it.  But to lose my entire airforce while killing nothing in Z7 is most certainly the end of the game.

Cheers

Well, why not finish the battle right, you never know with dice…

Wish you had rolled those dice earlier, but your super first round pretty much was the end.

Cheers

Now I really am done, go ahead and declare your win.  Was sure nice playing you and I wish you some better luck in the future :-P

@Yoshi:

@LuckyLindy:

According to my calculator, I believe you had 48,46% of winning (meaning killing the trannies).

But bad luck indeed for you here. Looks like you gambled a lot in this game, and it definitely did not pay off.

Well, looks like we cannot play another league game, and with the 2012 tournament coming, I prefer not to offer a friendly game yet.

Cheers,

Yoshi

Let’s just say that my gambles did not pay off and your gambles did.  In addition, your gambles were better than mine of course (meaning less risk), but once they started to pay off, I felt a bigger gamble was needed.  Not a good combination for me.

Maybe we will be able to play again in the tournament.  :-)

Cheers
