X-DAP-05 TeamBoldDutch vs. DairyQryn

Wow perfect G1, J1, G2, J2’s.

Allies are getting steamrolled.

I will admit that the GAME DESIGNER is on the other team…

I also had the pleasure of the same problem in my game against the Qyrn Alliance too…

(Sarcastic Suspicion)

Hmm ;)

If the allies want to improve their luck, I’m willing to play the ANZAC/FRENCH turn from hence forth?!?! :P

Garg, you made me all kinds of sad when you took over london despite me putting as many units as I could on it. I wanted to 33% attack london, veqryn was all like, “NOOOOOOOOO come up with a new strategy…,” and I was like, “full pacific, bring your mech?” and he was all like, “OK.” Then I did some crazy attacks in the pacific and it was good times from there on out. Then I was like, " garg will roll up and attack Russia," Veqryn was all like, “THEN WE WILL HAVE TO GET LUCKY THERE.”

We like rolling dice. shooka shooka.

J1, I lost 2 inf which is average.

J2, I lost 1 inf. They only had 9 defense rolls so… +2 inf. INCREDIBLE LUCK!

Yeah but it’s luck that spawns other luck. Exponentially!

Say you fail a battle, and you have to do the battle AGAIN next turn, that’s a significant cost, now you are +TIME!  (INCREDIBLE LUCK!!).

But I can already see the writing on the wall. Despite this INCREDIBLE LUCK! The allies are going to pull this one off.

So true Garg, especially since the axis are looking to win before round 8. :0

Maybe it is best I wait for Veqryn to take over his countries. I want to see what he does with those countries. I just like playing japan.

Need scamble order for Zero Uno in Tokyo.

I cannot open the file as I am not home right now.

However all I read are 2 fighters attacking sz 6 and 2 infantry moving into Korea, if that is the case then I will scramble my 1 fighter.

Sounds like a small risk for a big reward. I can live without the fighter.

Ugh, that was 92% to clear.  US loseses without killing the Jap fighter.  The dice are brutal so far.

Turn Complete - Americans

            Objective Americans 3 Defense Obligations: Americans met a national objective for an additional 5 PUs; end with 60 PUs
            Objective Americans 1 Homeland: Americans met a national objective for an additional 10 PUs; end with 70 PUs

My mental math said 10% defense. Probability of going fighter for fighter above 50%. Payout of 33 ipc (more like 26 because the transport would die on J3).

So it seemed like a good move to make.

Yes, you need luck to win games.  Always need luck, not many people will turn down a scramble in that spot, so it comes down to luck for both sides!

That is just how dice games go.
