ABH vs Innocentbystander G40

I was going to concede the game if you whipped my @ss in Ukraine… but overall, I didn’t do half bad.  You won, but (because you didn’t have any air cover and the AA guns missed me) I supremely depopulated your front of Germans and basically all the Italians.  If I can’t take Egypt in a couple turns (thus crippling Italy’s economy for the rest of the game) then that will BE the game.  I would have to concede.  But not yet.  Basically at this point, I am just fighting to prolong it.  If I do re-take Egypt (and find a way to hold on to Sydney) maybe I can get my 5 US aircraft carriers back in the game in some capacity.

@Arthur:

Please redo the combat rolls with the following order of losses (OOL):
AA
infantry
mech
art
tanks (10 of them)
bombers
remaining tanks

Take the Italian troops before taking the German troops.Â

Alright, doubt I’ll have even half as much success this time.  We’ll see.

@Arthur:

In such attacks where I am rated to have a significant (or in this case 94%) chance of winning, don’t take bombers before other units without first asking order of losses.

Okay I concede the game.

Not only did your AA guns hit this time I only did 7 hits in the first round.  You did 16 hits.

yes lets flip sides

I got all these errors from the system trying to submit the dice to the server.  Is it “play by email” and then just the number we were using?

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.8.0.9, time: 14:21:46

I went in with what I believed constituted an “overwhelming” force.  If you want me to redo those battles, I will.

By the by, France “butchered” me.  I almost didn’t succeed in taking it!

politics/rules question

Because the soviets declared war on the Japan (not the other way around) and because you moved your troops into China, am I free to attack the Soviet Union WITHOUT activating Mongolia as your ally?  And if not, if Mongolia is activated, are you free to move those troops anywhere or must they remain in Mongolia?

90% of the Japanese Armada (including all 3 CVs and 3 planes, all my capital ships) are hitting the ships off of the Philippines’.  Invading I have 2 fighters and 1 Tac Bomber (or the other way around I don’t remember) plus 2 inf & 2 art.  Do you want to scramble or not?
