@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Good luck to you as well sir.

I screwed up the purchase again. So complicated for poor Germany (read me).
Built an ac and then built one too many land units n WG/G.
And now I realize Berlin his hanging loose due to the UK mech. Sigh. Maybe I can’t stay in WG.
I’ll have to look closely at this later. Off to running excercise now.
And on a note, it’s very, very, very unfair, but I sent two sb on a raid in Cairo, and UK aa hit one of them. Fuck I hate MARTI sometimes.
-
And if I can’t stay in WG anyway, then ofc it’s pointless spending 10 IPC on repairs.
-
I trust you are ok with a change, as you usually are, so you only have to respond if you deny it or you really, really want to. :)

All sounds good.

You’re a sport!

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
-
I have to say that I feel you’re pretty lucky with the dice. Not to diminish your strategic and tactic skills. Hardly losing any bombers, hitting on defense a s o, while I lose bombers readily and rarely hit on defense. It is what it is, but sure doesn’t help the underdog.
-
But dice are what they are. You are a very good player.
-
Ah, yes, have to add pretty over-efficient convoy disruptions as well. One sub convoys 1,5 on a mean value.
-
I understand why you love the convoy disruptions! :)
-
dice always feel like they are against you. I think that’s just the nature of things. Particularly when you are losing and you really need some luck, I think then you really start to notice things. You have been behind with more on the line and more opportunities to get screwed. On my end, I have rarely had situations where the dice could screw me, but they certainly have at points.
I could easily point out some cases where I got screwed. I have had some good dice, some average dice, and some ugly dice. And my convoys have been very far from perfect.
I got tired of getting subpar convoys disruptions, so tried to overkill everything.
It all evens out.
-
I guess it does. No worries. Like you say my mind is struggling on the losing path. Every set-back hurts. Like that aa in Cairo.
Might do a little different setting with my fast-movers. Will consider getting some to Rostov, and putting more mechs in Poland.
-
i dont mind continuing, but there is probably little reason to continue this. No chance the axis can come back from this position.
-
Probably so, but I’d like to continue until I feel the same way. Atleast I might try some desperado eventually.

I’m sorry I’ve failed to make a move. Think I looked at it, did a test turn, was tired, closed and then thought I did the turn. Will try to get a move in this evening.
