Sorry for delay.
For sure there will be the revenge from Boris. I cannot retake UK so many times like Boris. But your poor King. Without crown and Homeland. now :blush:

Hi FlyingBadger,

I have no problem to go on with the game at any time you want.
I made a break of 6 weeks and I was happy that you wanted to go on. I although dont want a victory for free… I think there is no decision in our game. You are strong with Russia and USA and I have to go back with Germansin Russia.
And this game is full of mistakes from me. From Norway to Russia and N/B, France and cannot conquer India.
I understand you are angry because of your mistakes, because without I had to resign the game.
I have to announce my next breaks. I cannot move 3 weeks in March and 2 weeks in April.
I will do now the battle in sz110 with full scramble.
Best gegards

I although enjoy the game and will be happy to go on later.

Very good :+1:
Sounds possible to end this game before 10 of March.
I needed my break although too much games (6) and playing after work was like work again. Normally is fun and relaxing for me.
Feel free to make a break if you need.

You write: I was doing calcs on Java and the engine said I had a better defense with 2 infantry than with infantry, AA, but that’s definitely wrong.
You are definitely right with this.

Hi Gamerman,

sorry for delay. A lot of work last days.
I tried out bc with your excamples.

First fight.
For example, you have
3 INF, 1 ARM, 9 FTR vs
2 INF, 9 FTR

Triple A says 47/50

Exhange the 2 infantry for 2 AA
Triple A says 56/41

I agree first round 47/50 but after I change 2 inf into 2 AA my highest result for attacker was 42/58 and average after 30 times is under 40760.

The same for next fight.
3 INF, 3 FTR v 5 INF
Triple A says 82/16

v 4 INF, 1 AA
Triple A says 88/10

I agree first result 82/16 but after switch inf into AA is my result in average 75/25

Did we use different bc ?

Last fight
if you attack 40 AAA and 1 infantry with 120 bombers, you will only lose 1/3 of one bomber (for the infantry roll).

If I try , I will lose every time between 20-21 bomber.( is average with 120 AAGun shots) + 1 for inf. And is only 1 round
Maybe something wrong with the configuration of bc.

The results from my bc I think are right. I proof it on paper and its right.

Change 1 ncm. fig from japan instead Guam to Shantung.

Hi Kevin,
du kannst weitermachen. Alles gut so.

Thanks for info. I wanted to try out the bonus, You are right. I try to blitz because no unit in FIC but bonus is gone. But I didnt know isnt allowed to blitz :anguished:

I wanted to stop your offensive play with Anzac.

Now you have lucky dice and in the beginning I had lucky dice, Vichy, your fighter and your fleet and bombing damage.

No problem, we are not in hurry.
Your present is on the way since 07.02. But the man from post office tell me it will be 4-6 weeks you get it.

Pretty nice dice for me but you conquer all targets and your overall battle score is positiv :blush: .
Ooops every unit from me hits, I think - not bad. The german Army is in good condition.
I am not an invader, just want a free France, free Russia and in the end a free world, okay I hope under Axis control :blush:

Okay, I understand. But didnt remark it. All in first round with only few units.

I believe on my AAGuners and Marti

@gamerman01 said in L23 Harry X - Gamerman L+18 BM Playoff:

You are a lot of fun to play, Harry. You’re very nice, and very interesting

Its a honour for me if you say that. Thank you.

And its a honour for me to play against you and learn from you.

Advantage for you because I have to improve my game and have to try out a lot of new moves. Like now with Japan.
I spent much more time for my moves in all games but most for our game.
probably the game with most battles after R5

Very exciting game.

I like you, your gaming and teaching but I dont like your moves :blush:

Sorry for my lucky attack to sz91.
I will explain why I do so.
For Russia I can only use 1 b for Ukraine and 1 fig for WU - not effective.
Alternative I could attack brit sub in sz109 with my fleet and sz110 with 1 sub, 3 fig and 2 tac and I didnt defend Gibraltar with any german plane. Maybe you would scramble sz110.
If I defend Gibraltar with all planes, you could attack with 10 units and 1 cruiser and 8 units with british Army and I will loose all planes.
So everything I do, my german planes are in danger because of scramble or attack in Gibraltar. I would do the attack with US and after with british to Gibraltar.
Therefore I decided that this was most effective move for me. My chance was 75/25 and maybe you wanted this move from me ? I hoped too, that I get now 2 rounds to buy new german Luftwaffe.
