X-DAP FINAL - Dairy(Qyrn?) vs. TeamBoldDutch - Game 1

@Veqryn:

we mutually agreed 2 rounds ago that you would probably do sealion, and it became definite last round

cow has been building units in london every round since it was a possibility from the start of the game

i did notice that cow built 3 inf in london 2 rounds back.  by no means a max build.

@Veqryn:

It is really no different for any other A&A game, but once again I am willing to bet that the fate of this game will depend on AA rolls.

the SBR for the next few turns, the eventual assault on London, (and maybe moscow sbr + assault too eventually?)

I’ve always, always, considered AA to be the largest load of bullshitty in the entire A&A series.  And to make matters worse, Global tends to have both more AA rolls in general, and more important AA rolls, than the other A&A games.

i would be very happy to agree to low luck AA rolls from this point forward… that way the fate of the game would depend more upon strategy right?

i know cow would never agree to it because a big part of cow’s strategy IS TO get really lucky.  :-)

Churchill is so deep in a bunker that he can’t receive communications

for the record (for those watching) i sent cow a PM saying an intercept and scramble decision were needed.  the only reason i did it is because that sends out a notification to email which he may have seen before logging on to the site.  :-)  don’t want anyone to think i’m sending cow mean pms…  :roll:

for the bombing run over england, since tripleA does not correctly handle bombing runs on multiple facilities, it will have to be rolled on the forum.

i am going to edit the map to remove the bombing run and will roll the dice on the forum.

here is the AA fire

at tac (bombing airbase)
Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (4)

at bombers (bombing IC)
Rolls: 4@1; Total Hits: 14@1: (5, 4, 5, 1)

1 bomber down.

airbase damage
Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

IC damage = combined dice + 6
Rolls: 3@6; Total Hits: 33@6: (6, 4, 2)

18 damage to london, 2 damage to the AB

you got no other defensive hits.  noncom coming in the next couple hours i just worked an 18 hour day again and i am starving…  but couldn’t wait to bomb cow’s ass to the ground.

just one edit

it’ll be interesting to see how you win with the axis earning more than you for the rest of the game.

@Cow:

KJF is the counter to a sea lion. So you decide to do sea lion when Japan is almost finished. Brilliant.

i forgot you play by formula.  :lol:  let’s see, how did that Larry Harris opener go again?  :wink:

i hate it when i own all of africa but then lose london.  just sayin.
