@Shin:

I don’t see how it was shaky.  If I had missed with both, and you hit with both (unlikely), then we’d be in 50/50 territory.  Perhaps I’m more of a risk taker than I realized.  You’re not the first to tell me so!

:-D

I had it on 86/6/8 (not sure if the calculator messes something up with the sub though). so 14% of failure or to lose valuable ships is significant to me. I am rather risk averse. And I was rather whining about not taking a single ship down in 21 and about total of 3 hits below average.
Early dice matter most and take it as a compliment, the more I am complaining the more I see my party in trouble :)

US fighters on US carriers btw in 91

Scamble both, 109 and 91 please.

Comeon. This game seems blessed for the Axis. Any single battle WAY above average for the Axis :(

Well, 1.5 above average survivors. Not a super big deal but for one time I was hoping the Germans don’t have above average dice, again I got disappointed.

Looks like this game won’t last long. Still, the shot on Londo is probably something I do not offer again unless I want to gamble. I probably leave the mech inf home the next time.

Let’s see if there is anything left to do for the Allies.
