L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

[gamerman01]

It’s awesome to have 2 subs and no Italian destroyers, though… Smart no scramble I think

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 I think so because you would’ve just picked off my figs and still have navy left etc.

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Yes, the odds were on your side, but I was pretty much one die from a total different scenario there. Percentages are not always something to rely on :)

[gamerman01]

Absolutely. In our situation that transport is really huge

[gamerman01]

Like 1 move from being done, but I gotta go

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 No worries.

@gamerman01 Wow there were many options that turn, decided on a more conservative approach. Everyone was on minus Combat Hit Differentials, which turned out to be in my favor due to the number of dice rolled.

Yes, I wanted you to have many options… let’s see what you did…

[gamerman01]

I almost forgot all about Vichy which would have been really bad

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 You mean it would’ve left your UK ships much more exposed?

[gamerman01]

That AND 2 aircraft from 95 had to land on French soil and would be lost without a fight! ALSO, could not take Holland preventing German options for planes :)
Burned 2 transports as you know, but thought it would hamper a little bit to have extra infantry and AA in there to deal with.

[gamerman01]

OK, they could have landed on Malta, but if I didn’t see Vichy I probably would have landed Algeria and lost them. This is where not playing much lately can burn me

Time to finally hit a German plane??

Round 2 in SZ93 really hurt, but was fortunately evened out by the miss in SZ 95 and last round miss in SZ93. Otherwise pretty bad dice for Germany that round overall.
