XPAD-01 Dairy Qyrn (AXIS) vs Team MountainHIGH

Yeah, I’m sorry Verq .  … I kind of feel bad about how that battle turned out. I fully expected to win(no loser’s mentality here), but I thought that at best I might have 2-3 air left. And I never thought I’d have a realistic shot at coming out of that with that many pieces left. We can delete the French BB if you want or maybe you’ll get an Italian one?

I understand part of your reasoning for moving like you did, but you can’t give a wounded animal an opening . . . he’s got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Basing 60% of your ground strength on a 50/50 battle probably wasn’t the wisest choice. Even had I only survived with 2-3 units left, you’d still be facing 20% odds in Hawaii. And I knew I’d figured out a way to hold both VCs.

Cow, run a sim  . …  it’s not a 50/50 battle. Anzac will move an inf, arm, ftr to the defenses.

At most Japan will have 3inf, art, 4ftr, 2tac, 2bmb vs 5inf, art, arm, 4ftr, 2bmb, aa in Hawaii.

Sorry, didn’t see a game post and viewed the post you uploaded the map via the thread history when I tried posting something. So I didn’t see the attached file.

Some Great American Play here, Coupled with good dice.

We have quite a match Ladies and Gentlemen!

I got lucky with the dice, I shouldn’t have come out of that with that many units left over. Don’t forget though that I somewhat placed myself in this situation to begin with. Bad die the first couple turns sucked monkey balls and did nothing to help the allied situation. But I tempted a Sealion when I honestly had never faced a sea lion before . . . that was a moosteak.

I should’ve kept my Russians in EPL where they would’ve threatened anything dropped into Nov/Baltic. Instead I overextended myself into Romania and then got outflanked. So I have to give up a forward position(and the inherent IPCs) I theoretically could’ve held a couple more turns at the least. Ah well, lesson learned.

Scramble two british fighters and an American one in sz125

3 british fighters!

If I was too late on the correction it’s no biggie. I can live with either option.
