XDAP-03 : Invisible Greens vs QCoorrantineV (bidding and game)

Hi guys. Yes, I was in quite a pickle when that happened, and I had no pre-dertermined OOL other than default TripleA. The reason why the AC was sunk was that I was trying to see how to best preserve your fleet (play like you guys would have, I guess).

So the first round, I got unlucky and rolled only two hit, so I took the BB and SS (instead of AC), because I did figure you were going to want your AC intact, and you were only loosing 1 point of D.

But then in the second round, I hit with the SS, and I knew 2 more hits (on average) were coming, so I chose to take one hit on the AC. Then two more hits came, at which point it seemed like both fleet were going to get damaged pretty bad. Please remember that I have to choose your casualties before rolling to hit I knew what you guys would roll, and instead of getting good rolls (well, one extra “hit” in this case), you guys could have rolled bad (like only 2 hits), leaving your fleet super weak against around 3 planes. So I chose what I thought to be in your best interest, meaning that any surviving units (planes), would survive on Gibraltar and not be exposed like your BB and CRU are.

If you guys want to change your 2nd round casualties, I’ll certainly agree, but we’ll have to re-roll Germans dice for round 2 and then see how the battle pans out. The game is made in such a way that defenders have to choose their casualties before they know what their own dice will be.  If you guys roll the average 3 hits (or below), then I might choose to go on to round 3. I think we’ll agree that it’s fair to everyone.

Let me know which you choose (start from Germany rolls of round 2 OR keep the game as it is), or even if you want to pull in a referee (Garguantua), which would also be fair.

Coorran

Right. I thought it didn’t matter since the battle was over after it but since we didn’t know we’d be above averae your choice was probably the best, if one doesn’t know the defenders dice of round 2. I think we’ll accept the save as is. We have very little chance to keep our transports but a very safe Gibraltar and a very trapped Ally fleet in the mediterenean, which was what we gambled to have anyway.

Thanks for understanding! I’ll play UK6 on my lunch break today.

Coorran

Sent UK6 to gmail.

Damn your luck in SZ 91!!!

Well we definitely made a positive battle score overall with the attack on Gib and your fleetsinking losses.

Oh and you seem to have overlooked to send a mail to m again.

I sent to Matt. Sorry.

Also, If you attack our main fleet with Italy and or Germany, we’ll have a specific OOL. Send us the file before rolling.

Coorran

Are you sure you sent a mail to all of us. I still don’t have a save.

No just to matt, sorry. I was in a rush. I thought he could forward it to you guys. Ill send to all adresses when i get on my computer.

OK, it’s sent.

Coorran

thx

We sent the save per Mail again.

Roger that!

F6 Sent to your accountS.

Have a nice Holiday break, if you’re somewhere that this is relevant!

Coorran

If you’re bored during the holidays you now have save with Germany 7 in your dicemailaccount.

Ok I’ll take a look at it.

I don’t really see a win for either side before the deadline do you guys want to play this game to the end after it? Maybe we’ll get an extension anyway but maybe not?

@Nothing:

I don’t really see a win for either side before the deadline do you guys want to play this game to the end after it? Maybe we’ll get an extension anyway but maybe not?

it is almost certain you will not have a vc winner by the end of the round. your game does look fairly even.
the good news is if you check the xdap bracket the winner of this game faces a dropped out team. assuming no other team drops from the tournament this round(the tournament pairs up dropped out teams to minimze the byes in the tournament) then you guys have an extra 2 months to finish your game.

i would keep playing as fast as you guys can until the deadline just incase a team drops out, but more than likely your teams will be given an extra 2 months.
