X-DAP-05 TeamBoldDutch vs. DairyQryn

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.

Probability of going fighter for fighter 70%+, which is 20% better than a 50/50. That is not something people turn down.

Odds of losing the fighter without killing a fighter compared to odds of winning and the payout… it is a good risk to make.

Yes I have had some real fast league games. Nothing wrong with a quick game.

All:

The game glitched on the retreat on the tnp. It sent it to zone 5 with 5 infantry loaded on it. I deleted it and tried to add it to z16, but of course, you cannot add a loaded tnp to the map.  So, I added the two inf to Midway and the tnp to z25, but:

THE TRANSPORT AND 2 INFANTRY ARE IN Z16 WITH THE REST OF THE AMERICAN FLEET.

Oops, looks like i will have to add that to the UK map….

edited adding the tnp and 2 inf

Remember please, they are in zone 16.  Hopefully I can move them to a zone that allows natural movement soon and this will not be a problem for the rest fo the game.

you can retreat transports from an amphibious assault?

@Cow:

you can retreat transports from an amphibious assault?

There was no amphibious assault… the naval/air battle had to fought first.  A transport can retreat from a battle the same as any naval or air unit by an attacking power. As Veq’s TripleA constantly reminds us, attacking or defending units have to actually hit a transport in order to kill it. Thus the reason triple A asked me if I wanted to retreat the transport after the inexplicable occured and my 9 punch all missed and your 8 punch hit twice, but not thrice.

Infantry can’t retreat from Amphibous assaults.

But infantry aren’t part of a NAVAL battle.

That’s the reality. The retreat is completely legal.
