L15 G40 Soulblighter (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies +18) Game 3

@axis-dominion:

yah well i paid dearly for yunnan, so don’t worry

@Soulblighter:

@axis-dominion:

@Soulblighter:

Looks like the dice have decided this game for me.

why are you saying that?

Dice were screwing me this turn, giving you a landingspot for attacking yunan. I knew this in advance. Hence the second artillery. The odds of both tt’s hitting back twice are extremely low. Almost neglible. Hence I got screwed.

I saw the dice. So that at least provides me with some comfort :'(.

@axis-dominion:

heads up, those 2 UK ftrs in 92 are actually on US carriers.

That means the US can only attack Southern Italy with 2 fighters and not 4. Triple A does not handle this correctly because Triple A assumes that you put the fighters on the british carrier.

Absolutely correct.

That makes things easier for me. Didn’t realise this earlier.
