ksmckay (Allies+6) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM3

@simon33 did you get a test dice roll?

@simon33 Ok. Yeah, I really want to vary the losses. I had said I wanted to save a CV, and was interested after seeing what you hit next round.

You hit 10x. I would choose losses at that point.
With my remaining forces I would have expected 8-10 hits (I got 7 but I would not know that). Keeping the 3 CVs and killing cruiser + 2 ftrs would have been a losing battle for you to continue.

Even with the 7 hits I got, you still would have an 10-90 battle to continue if I kept the CVs.

My point is that I would have kept the CVs.
Now knowing that, if you want to continue the battle to try and get them. I’m fine with that.
But I will have 3 tipped CVs, tipped BB, 5 ftrs, 5 trans vs. 2 ftr, 2 tac, tipped BB, 2 sb.

Re-reading my post. I should have been more precise. But even a very strict interpretation of my statement, I should have at least 1 CV.

@axis-dominion lol. reverse of the dice in France.

guys I was trying to get this turn in, but I am exhausted from hunting and made some errors. I can’t think straight currently. What I think I have to do is do one more round of combat in Kwa and send a cruiser and into 20 and a destroyer into 35. That will allow me to crash my planes into the ocean.

@ArtofWar1947 A couple scramble options for you. I assume we’ll want to go round by round for the casualties in the Pacific naval battle, but if you have an OOL you can let me know.

@Avner submerge or fight in SZ55?

Sorry for stopping the flow of the game,
Was a long session and tonight I had the energy for it
Usually it’s a lot easier to recline and play video games
