XDAP2 PIT FIGHT Bad Dice (+100) v Boldman

@Soulblighter:

Based upon that result we can conclude that Japan lost both Chuck and Norris during their attack on China. The emperor will not be pleased.

Crud, that is not what I wanted to see

@variance:

On second thought, soulblighter’s way is probably better.  I thought I was averting disaster but it seems the only disaster would be for the luftwaffe if you were so foolish as to 1-2 punch our mighty fleet. go with this.

sorry

Yes, the Luftwaffe will not be smashing against the rocks of the Royal Navy
Been 5-6 hours so assume last map is good to go.  Thrilled to have 2 transports survive - I thought all brown boats would have been sunk before I1  :-)

@variance:

sorry

NO PROBLEM
Just sitting down to check the boards now any way

Because of the battleships, you also still have 4 cruisers….  Italians need to drop that to three…

You must not have opened up the right map.  You just trying to have fun with Bold again?

Well I guess if your other super sub (the first one plinked a destroyer) is rocket propelled and can carry 5 artillery and 4 infantry, then you have a 50% shot.

That won’t work, Garg, German planes won’t bite

You don’t even have 5 arty and 4 infantry to load, I just realized.

OK, if your sub could load 10 infantry and 2 arty, then you have 75.5% chance, and NO I am not allowing that

Variance, you did not disappoint!  Didn’t take long for a fun Russian sub video - I will check that out later tonight!
