16L G40 Balanced Mod 2.0 Arthur Bomber Harris (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

  • '15

    Got ten hits in round 1.  Which is good, because I desperately needed that.

    Where do you want them?  Oh, and I scrambled the USA planes - we can change that later with an edit if you’d like.


  • Max defense.

  • '15

    Oh shoot.  I just realized that in my despair over your amazing defense vs Italy and my poor showing on offense, I clicked through casualties in round 2 of that battle without looking and apparently damaged another carrier.

    How would you like to proceed?  It was my mistake, so I’ll accept whatever remedy you find acceptable.


  • keep with your awesome G1 roll and do the additional rolls on the forum.

  • '15

    Thanks!  That’s very kind of you.

    If I’m doing my math right, that gives me a score of 47 on that fight.  I’m probably still doomed, but I’m hoping the worm will turn.

  • Finally could move to Belarus now that Germany has fewer planes.  That usually means victory for the Allies, but we shall see how things proceed.

  • '15

    Yea, I’m gonna concede at this point.  There’s just no path to victory now, even assuming dice heavily in my favor.

    Nicely done!

    Apparently whoever has been playing the Allies has won every time in our matchups so far.  Want to continue our series?


  • I am getting my butt kicked by JDOW playing allies.  Japan is struggling and I can’t contain China while holding onto the Money Islands.  I need to come up with a new idea of winning for the Axis.

    Sure, lets start a new game.  I will be gone for a week starting on Friday so we might only get through a few turns before taking a break.
