G40L2015 Gamerman01(Allies+20) vs MakeMaps (Axis) Game 1

OK, I (or anyone else) would not have been happy if your subs hit after taking off my destroyer without asking.  The subs’ surprise strike capability is a big factor.  If your subs had all hit the second round, several ships would be sunk without being able to fire back and that would have been terrible.

Most players would have lost the cruiser after that first round and kept the destroyer.

Sorry your luck was poor there and you could have sunk my whole fleet because I apparently forgot that France (Z92) goes AFTER Italy or something, but it was not to be…  At least you don’t have an argument with me now.

Moral of the story - wait for casualty choices from your opponent in situations like this, or else give him the best possible scenario.  Taking my destroyer off first could have been disastrous, and if you rolled a bunch of 1’s and 2’s after that and sunk my fleet, while the dice would be lucky for you, your opponent would be protesting very strongly.

So an FYI for the future  :-)

Battleships doing some serious damage in this game, for once!  Off Borneo, and now off Denmark

You do realize the sub off New Guinea can’t block the fleet, right?  Just wanted to make sure you weren’t counting on it for that…

I’m still having trouble with the dice on offense…
Technically you could take issue with how I chose the sub first in Z55.  It might have been possible for you to submerge it in round 2 after I lost the destroyer in round 1.  It was the only decision you would have this round, so I decided to facilitate the game and take the sub first since I had what I thought was overwhelming offense.  If you protest Z55, we can talk about it and come up with a solution that is agreeable to both of us.
