Good game! BM is pretty cool, thanks for your help with getting a handle on it.

[gamerman01]

:) After what dawg reported in the game results thread, I looked through the game to see the fireworks.

Help me out! Until R5 attack on Archangel where the Russians had a horrifying blank in the first round (and the Germans reponded with 2 hits instead of 3) I didn’t see anything extreme…
Were there do-overs after extreme dice that then aren’t in the game file? :)

Was mostly looking at dice, but seemed to be a fun and nicely played game by both! As an Allies fan, I especially enjoyed the dramatic US bomber raid on the wounded German battleship on US1, only possible because of the dastardly J1 attack! It went on to bomb the snot out of Normandy and France until fate finally caught up with them over West Germany :(

Keep having fun -

@gamerman01

Nope, that’s the one. Dawg was a 75% favorite to win that battle. With the complete blank on the first round, things really started poorly. He only hits 2 in the 2nd round. What really hurts is that 3rd round, where Germany hits 5/6, to take out Russia’s entire air force. Germany wins that one, losing only 3 mechs. Russia scores only 3 hits the entire 3 rounds, despite having 5 @3 and 1 @4 for much of that battle.

Yeah, the bomber run on US1 really surprised me. I thought there was a problem in the game file, as UK only had to deal with 2 subs, until I went back and looked at the finer details!

Dawg had some bad luck with AA fire. I’m in a current game, and think I’ve been subjected to ~15 bombing runs against me, and 0 AA hits!
