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

That is a serious hit rate you have going with Japan.  Wasn’t just French Indo last turn, huh
And only 1/9 on AAA
So the dice gods are trying to keep it competitive…… Don’t come crying to me when the luck stops  :lol:  :wink:

OK, moving now

Playing fast and loose - forgot to use the 3rd transport in 112  :-P  :wink:

The 112 battle was incredible - too many of those in this game - but the Japs let you down

Couldn’t even use it in non-com because it was involved in the battle - ouch
(To be clear, I’m not asking for any concessions.  Just explaining how my oversight hurt me, for your future playing benefit)

The guys were right - this new version at least sometimes doesn’t give you a retreat option at sea……  I might have retreated the cruiser, but never got the chance.  We’ll just leave it.  Luckily for me I did score 1 hit

Nice move hitting Z92 - I was counting on the French taking out 2 German subs in 110 and now I have problems!  I don’t know why I didn’t consider the threat of the Italian subs - again, great move

you don’t see this too often.

It was already damaged, Bold  :roll:
Lucky for him the Bship went 3/3 and his transport survives
Already ran a destroyer/cruiser into it

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
