Booper (Allies+21) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM

@simon33

Yep, wow, I’m getting the bad rolls now. 2 more casualties for GErmany.

I took 2 subs in the interest of keeping this moving along.

Oops, it looks like I took 1 more tip on the CV and 1 sub… but it may not matter. It was just the default order.

@simon33 said in Booper (Allies+21) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM:

I think I prefer your original thought of 2 subs lost.

Ended up not mattering, as the 2nd tip maximized your defense power. The dice turned harshly on Germany’s 2nd round, and only got 1 hit. US got a really lucky 3rd round, which pretty much ended the battle.

@simon33

Very well could/would(?) have been an Axis victory if Sea Lion was successful. You were pretty much committed at that point with the transport buy. Good disguise going for it, I should have done better to see it coming.

USA did have pretty good odds to sink the transport fleet, I think it was 73%, but USA rolled very poorly, but fortunately for the Allies, Germany rolled even worse.

Let me know what you decide to do. Happy to do a re-match as well, with same side or flipping sides, whichever you prefer.

@simon33

Well played, enjoyed the game, let me know if you want to go again.

@simon33

sure, let’s do it, that all sounds fine with me.
