13L G40 Gamerman01(allies+10) vs seththenewb(axis)

@seththenewb:

And hey look, SBR first. I done good.  :wink:

I noticed!  I’m pleased.

Yeah, it’s hard to beat perfection.
Double miss on AA and then double sixes (fancy that)

Bomb run on Moscow close to average - a bit in my favor since your bombers missed me, you lost a bomber on a 42% chance, but then got slightly above average damage rolls… (average of 4,4)
So we’re both happy we averted disaster… I’m thrilled to have 2 fighters still alive for counter-attacks…

I think I can sneak in this Russian move quick, here…

'bout freaking time I hit a tech (referring to Wheatbeer game also)

Kind of a weak one, though…

Yeah, and even though the increase attack power is negligible in all practicality, the ability to blitz could come in handy

A tech hit is a tech hit, I always say.  If I hit again I’ll get something better.

Need casualty choice in West Ukraine
4 hits scored

Great, because if you kept your AA gun until last, I couldn’t hit and run and I would be dead meat in West Ukraine
Thanks for making the wrong decision  :-D

You can’t retreat from units with no defense value

I didn’t realize it until I got 4 hits and it was casualty choice time, so I had to ask you.

Fair enough, that we both missed it.

But remember that for future reference - you can’t retreat from only AA guns, so you could trap your opponent on an intended hit and run by saving the AA gun(s) until last!

I think I’m recalling this from a Krieghund FAQ answer, but I couldn’t find it after a quick search.  Doesn’t matter since we agree you have 1 artillery there and you chose to lose the AA first.

I can ask on the FAQ thread to make sure for future reference.

Would have finished my turn, but my laptop shut itself down for the 5th time today, so I drove home and am now on my trusty desktop and can finish the turn.

Will require a little editing for combat results already rolled.

That was a pain, but I found it.
See replies #610 and #611 in the FAQ

Here’s the rule that applies
Page 20, Condition A, Attacker and/or Defender loses all units

“Once all units that can either fire or retreat on one or both sides have been destroyed, the combat ends”

Condition B is that the Attacker retreats

So if the defender is left with only units that have no combat value (transports or AAA), the attacker loses their option to retreat.

You can see this in the FAQ in reply #611 and if it was not correct, Krieghund would have corrected it.

My computer crashed after finishing the West Ukraine battle where you scored 1 hit.

The second time you scored 2 hits, so I added one infantry back.  You can see it if you look at your dice e-mails.
