@farmboy said in League 2025 Farmboy (X) vs Axis-Dominion (L+15) BM:
you probably didn’t see my edit. Let me know if it is okay for me to add that back in.
Yeah I did miss it. Sorry. Go for it!
@FMErwinRommel It’s hopeless, but I want to try something and see if my luck will change. The Euro Axis have had bad luck since the beginning and in the past 2 turns it spread to Japan. From strat bombing, to convoy damage around Africa, to every major battle. I can’t believe that bad luck can be so constant.
@FMErwinRommel The Germans, Italians, Japanese and Russians all had an average die roll of around 3.5 and median of 4. The Brits and U.S. both had average of 3.4 and median of 3, which is better. The median number for all is rounded to nearest 0.5.

@FMErwinRommel I want to see what happens this round with the Ger move to Finland. Japan was going to send its Phil tt’s north for safety. But when I put blockers, I kept them in place, in case you decided to take Isles instead of attack. Now Japan has no tt’s, but I had built up a counterattack force. Japan has bombers stationed to give air support to amphib re-invasion. They will be used to sink tt’s and ships. Japan had also garrisoned extra troops, AA guns and ftrs in Phil. So it will take you a while to conquer it. Japan still has 32 DD’s and subs in the Pacific, altho no CVs. The U.S. has 6 CVs and 12 planes.

@FMErwinRommel The Soviets are attacking!!! 18 casualties, OOL?
@Desert_Admiral Ger inf, Ger mech saving AA for U.S. air strike. Rus rolled 1 above average.
@FMErwinRommel You rolled above average with 22 hits. 9 more for you, OOL?
@Desert_Admiral and I rolled below there.
remaining mech and then art. I know that I would beat Rus better by taking AA and bombers, but I am still only losing 2 pointers, that’s not that big a diff.
@FMErwinRommel 6 more
Think I have 3 art left, so those plus 2 Jpn bombers and 1 Ger bomber . Bombers and AA both roll at 1 when the U.S. attacks, but the AA kills the planes before they can fire.
@FMErwinRommel 4 more. 6 AA’s, German bomber, Jap bomber, 2 German tanks, 7 Italian tanks, and rest of planes
Tough choice. I have more than enough power to kill off the remaining Ruskies, but now I’m into tanks.
2 remaining art or however many are left and then 2 AA
@Desert_Admiral No artillery left, just what I’ve listed above.
4 AA The remainder will be weak. But U.S. would be split between 2 targets. But Brit came also attack.
wait. take bombers and AA
