Sub fights in 106 and dies first.
Oh you did finish the move!
Don’t look at me that way, I’m older
And I’m playing 4 at a time, like the good old days
It’s always my turn against someone!

Anymore I’m thrilled with slightly below average (across all games).
You are not so lucky, I remember J1 in Classic!
There are 3 hits, and as a courtesy I point out the planes have nowhere to land without their undamaged carrier
@VictoryFirst said in L25 G40 OOB Gamerman01 (x) v VictoryFirst (+50):
I am currently using almost the exact same Allied opener in two other games and those are going for my feeling much more streamlined because there people allowed me to do my stuff.
I am pretty excited I get to play a great guy who’s coming into the league from outside. No doubt various tactics become almost standard in the league as players find what others are doing that works, and then we become just a little bit in-bred, probably
Waiting for 97 casualty choice
(didn’t want it to get buried)
I probably missed you until tomorrow.

Rolling on forum because Triple A doesn’t do mixed fleet battles correctly. Maybe it wouldn’t matter for this battle, but I don’t want to have to figure that out.
Will edit for results
You’ve already shown Triple A skills, when you edited the fighter to 97, so that’s good
Casualty choice for 97 needed

Please kill the DD, Cruiser and a FTR
I am glad my spreading out tactic worked out. Usually when you can’t put all of your units in the same spot, it’s best to spread them all out. If I had put all of my aircraft in Malta or Syria, you would have been able to destroy all of them. Now I’ve only lost the bomber. That’s why my British NCM took so long, I had to check all possible Italian attacks and consider all distributions of UK forces. This one ended up being the best in my eyes.
No more Italian transports to worry about!
Can’t finish the turn right now, was just checking in quick
Oh, I was rolling it on the forum…
OK, I just clicked it in Triple A so it sent one dice result which doesn’t count. As it were, it was a hit with my sub and then I stopped, confused at what was happening.
SO
here is the UK defense:
[dice 2d6<=2]

I am sorry, I’ve had several bad results recently but none of them singularly that rough. If you’d like to see me getting beat up by dice, look no farther than my last German turn against Pacifier in the playoffs, or the US/China/UK move Oysteilo just put down on me.
If we weren’t playing a game that counts in permanent record books and if I didn’t have a new guy hoping to play me, I’d give you an average result in its place.
OK, you probably don’t need any of that girly stuff, you’re a hardened A&A veteran and you know how it goes.
Now why did I attack Tunisia? Hm… I guess it’s not too much of a right or wrong.
That’s 5 5’s and 2 6’s in an important round 1 fleet battle. I gotta feel guilty about that.
