Yeah max defense. RIP.
Well I got a -77 score from an expected +24. I think I am the one saying RIP.
I do see your post this time, so you don’t have to wonder about that. Have a great day
The 3rd complex makes me nervous.
Friendly reminder to roll amphibious assaults first, thanks, no problem in this situation of course.
I would have actually considered having that sub fight, but you assumed correctly this time. I do appreciate you trying to minimize stoppages, farmboy awaits
And just in case you appreciate this, I again acknowledge that your luck is a bit poor, still.
You are classy for not complaining, IMO
Almost 5 rounds in 5 weeks, that is not bad at all.

You are welcome. Making your nervous is a part of my strategy.:astonished:

I still think you’re missing an infantry in SE Europe. I’ll add one to Albania and you can move it to any territory adjacent to Bulgaria if you want.
Submerge, intercept?

Thank you!!!
I’m here, just a minute…
I’ll intercept with 2 fighters - I hope you don’t roll snake eyes
Submerge
Check that. Don’t intercept
That’s so bad.
I like how you continued the attack in Bryansk and got 2/2 and I whiffed, but then it was smashed :expressionless:
When I saw the AA in Moscow miss one and then hit one, I may recall that Triple A doesn’t do AA fire correctly when there are mixed aircraft. It’s been years since I thought about this, so I’m fuzzy. Did Triple A ask you for a casualty choice between the tactical and the strat bomber? Because if the industrial complex hit, the strat bomber is the only possible hit.
I say this so that you may catch it in some other game you have in the future and maybe you benefit.
It would be unreasonable for me to demand a coin-flip roll (or even look into what order Triple A rolls AA) because the dice have been SO lop-sided to this point. It’s mainly out of curiosity.
I’m sorry the dice have been interfering so much with this game. Although I’m 0/2 lifetime against you, and the ghosts of my pilots and ship captains in the Adriatic Sea dead since 2017 have been released
No way I’m coasting yet or assuming a win. I see a lot of ways I can lose. OK, R6

Never mind. I realized I could test it in local mode. When the first AA roll hit, Triple A took off the strat bomber. When the second hit, tactical bomber.
Therefore, the hit to the tactical bomber and not the strat bomber was fair.
It does NOT ask a casualty choice.
Sorry to bother you
I agree with your assumption of AA loss in Bryansk, but it was not an automatic decision. 5 infantry and 2 artillery against 6 infantry and AA gun (11%) and you only scored one hit, I might lose an infantry.
Not questioning it, though, because my dice after that were good, plus I still have 2 AAs and you don’t have much air thanks to my ridiculous rolls. Sometimes I take casualties that most people don’t.
I don’t want to be difficult, though
