14L G40 Ghost vs. Bold - no tech, 1 unit per TT

i don’t even know what you are referring to yet, but i better check fast cuz it sure sounds good…  you had +60 on the china battle now you had -95?  Sounds like close to a wash no?

Holy smokes, that was some great defensive rolling!  A few thoughts:

1. you could have taken in 3 more infantry and 1 ftr
2. you could have bombarded with the battleship
3.  if i had left my british ftr on the island, you would have likely lost the battle
4. thank goodness for your superb 3rd round roll of 7/8 huh?
5. bizarre for a battle that started with zero AA hits and the bombardment hitting
6. you are really really going to wish you had gone for it on G3 - my gut told me it was a fatal decision either way, but boy, that sure is way beyond anything i could have expected.
7. battles like this are why i don’t complain about dice until the game is over.

I will probably think of more.

Cheers

8. you do have 91 bucks
9. you don’t have the logistical problem of having to take so many heavy artillery and tanks off the island

always gotta look on the bright side.  :-)

Not trying to rub any salt just commenting on a wild battle/game.  We have had two completely crazy ones now - i calculated that your attack on Szechwan was a <1% chance result.  This is probably an even smaller chance of happening.  Still many many things that can still occur - these are the kind of games even I can remember, when there are so many spectacular battles.

Thanks to the earlier Szech result, you have japanese bearing down on the russian backside.  Should be interesting from here.

You think you have this one huh?

Or did you mean you can take that tank back home to germany?

no intercept - thanks

Just fyi, the rules state the order of combat as:
1.  strategic or tactical bombing (in any order)
2.  amphibious assaults (and any necessary preceding naval battle) (in any order)
3.  all other combat (in any order)

Unfortunately, tripleA does not enforce this rule, the players must do so.

Cheers
