@surfer said in L25 Avner (L+9) vs Surfer (X) BM4:
@Avner Boo. I can’t access the dice server! Stucifer posted earlier that this was a problem. I guess we’ll have to delay.
now it’s ok… it seems
Yeah, about 50/50 chance for my USA to have Tech at 4 rolls. Got about a 40% chance next turn if I don’t buy tokens to get one. So it’ll come soon… ;)
The dice don’t owe nobody nothing!

You’ll have two convoy zone rolls, I forgot to edit the ownership of Celebes and redid from end of NCM. But I corrected to the first roll you got (3 damage instead of 2).
Got it, looks good, thanks
I thought you were going to save the carrier
This isn’t over
@gamerman01 Sorry, I forgot to mention I skipped the scramble in 97? To defend one of the transports
@gamerman01 said in L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!:
I thought you were going to save the carrier
If I had more foresight I would have remembered I had an ANZAC fighter to land on it. C’est la vie
I noticed that, and I almost woulda done it but I do want that fighter
Thank you
Might be better off not throwing in all the marbles to 37. So like you said.
It looks like I’m going to keep the fast and loose play coming. I can’t believe how fast Japan got hammered, but I won’t say anything more for now
As Karl7 used to say,

Nice job on that Italy attack, was not expecting it. Not that I had anything more to put into Iraq. The Soviet Spread of Communism gambit has failed to become delicious Roquefort and is instead confined to the moldy dustbin of great value shredded American.

Thank you!
We just have daggers to each other’s throats, like every fun game should be
Easy to miss - not something you’d expect when only 2 wimpy Italian units there and suicide for planes
Japan is so crippled lol
I’ll make sure to blow up several more of my units
Most A&A games are like sniper matches, lots of movement, few shots, utter destruction most of the time something lands.
This is as you say, daggers to throats. It brings to mind competition longsword fighting: quick short bouts with some quick footwork and a lot of hits back and forth!
