2024 Playoff OOB Round 1 Pacifiers Board (+42) v Gamerman01

@gamerman01 said in 2024 Playoff OOB Round 1 Pacifiers Board (+42) v Gamerman01:

I would have agreed to eliminating convoy blockade dice before the game, so I would also agree to that from now on in our game, as you proposed

LOL that’s a blunder on my part to agree to this. The random rolling of convoy damage is better for the convoy attacker.

Assuming the Allies do more convoy attacking than the Axis, I think we found a way to reduce bids in OOB

Savegame

It took 2 rounds for the Germans to score 1 hit,
With sub, destroyer, 2 fighters.

But the allies have missed
So I have to interrupt play to ask if you’ll lose the UK sub or USA destroyer in 125

If you can give an advance order of loss for Z96 it will save an interruption, but it’s understandable if you don’t want to do that. Only you, the commander of all the Allied forces in the world, can say!

If you can’t give advance order of loss on 96, it is fine with me if you roll it on forum and give choices that way

Or just go as normal, give me sub or destroyer choice 125 and then wait for me to roll 96 in Triple A and wait again. Doesn’t matter to me

@simon33 Yay! You’ve improved my life and that of my opponents, never seen that, thank you

@pacifiersboard Thought I’d catch you, but didn’t so I’ll make some guesses and if it happens your choices could have made a difference you can choose what survives

Well so much for that. Your sub hit, and messed it up
and we don’t know the destroyer roll yet, so with that information do you lose the sub or the destroyer?

No, I have sub, destroyer, 2 fighters,
You have sub destroyer

I was going to wait, but then decided it didn’t really matter if you hit once back.

But you hit once back with just the sub and your destroyer could hit me too. So if you lose the destroyer and it hits me, the sub would get away.

But if you lose the sub and the destroyer hits me, then I have 2 fighters against your destroyer unless I retreat.

So I definitely have to wait now that your sub hit me

Well, the sub would get away if I lose a destroyer to your destroyer hit. If I took off a plane, it would be fighter destroyer vs sub

lol So in trying to expedite play I gave you a small advantage by letting you see part of the defense roll

If we were playing face to face you would have decided whether to lose sub or destroyer after seeing I got one hit and not knowing whether you would get any. You can certainly take full advantage of my decision to move ahead, or if you’re having trouble deciding just lose the sub like you would most likely have done if I hadn’t

Decisions, decisions

I’ll be checking back so if I need a decision on 96 (perish the thought) it won’t be a delay if you’re around too

In sz96 there are four planes against dd and carrier? Kill dd before carrier

Thank you very much,
It looks like I get lucky in the big ones and you get lucky in all the small ones so far

Borderline reckless call in 125 to airstrike the destroyer, got away with it this time

Game on!
