Your turn for brain pain :confounded:

Makin’ me WORK!

[gamerman01]

You’re making me play almost conventionally, like a mature player. It’s kind of nice, every 5 years or so.

[gamerman01]

Just realized I forgot to load UK artillery on US transport at EUS -

Oh. Um… I’ll try to answer in private message

[gamerman01]

These are angry dice.

French fighter against what should be about 3 individuals left standing in Archangel.

[dice 1d6<4]

Grey dude
[dice 1d6<3]

[dicebot]

1d6<4: 1; Hits: 1
1d6<3: 2; Hits: 1

[gamerman01]

Well, it COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE

:imp:

The 3 individuals left had heavy weapons on them.

3 hits in a row by infantry, that is hard to swallow

[gamerman01]

Not in a row, but it’s a 2.5% regardless. ANZAC failed against Italian tanks, and fails hard again. Good riddance.

I think US airstrikes on this front went pretty well, will have to check

[gamerman01]

It’s your turn to get bad dice!

F9.tsvg

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Damn! I haven’t seen anyone airstrike versus Germany before. I’ve heard that air striking in China is not even cost effective. What happened to your conventional plays?

[gamerman01]

I can’t do it. I just can’t play like those guys for long.

I can’t comment on the airstrikes at this time other than to say with US bombers, especially when the one let me land planes in Nenetsia, was definitely “cost effective”. Also, taking out the tank in Caucasus was the right thing to do, though I got hit there.

Same with China - it’s not about the IPC replacement cost, it’s situational. Don’t tell me you look at IPC costs like most do… :hushed:

Better word than cost effective would be strategic… Bomber vs infantry by expected TUV change is of course not “cost effective”

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 I think that it’s important to look at the TUV change because it tells us something at least although the strategic value may be more important.

[gamerman01]

I am strategically trying to make you over-confident :smirk:

Removed the units from the -27 TUV move you did with Franz ;)

[gamerman01]

I’m sorry, something went wrong. I edited the blue fighter and grey man away but must not have saved and over-written correctly because I see they’re still on the F9 file. Thanks for getting it

[Pejon_88]

@gamerman01 Yes no worries! Happens when we do forum thread battles :)

[gamerman01]

My first round opponent will be going on a 3 week vacation later this week, so then this will be my only game during that time.

We stepped up the pace recently - the first round game across from us ended, so Me 1945 is waiting for the winner of our game.
