2022 BM Playoff R2 Me1945 v Gamerman01 (+24)

@gamerman01 Not sure if the dice result is a real gift. Anyway, happy birthday!

[gamerman01]

Thanks!

Looking at MARTI they didn’t look too bad, especially 3 big ones in Yugo. I guess when I fear bad dice, decent ones look OK

Let’s see what it looks like in program…

[gamerman01]

Yeah, my opinion is I got lucky. Actually, very lucky.
Sorry if it’s annoying, I always comment on G1 dice. Will try to keep it to a minimum otherwise, but it’s one of the ways I enjoy A&A :p

110 you wiped me in one round, but my 3 planes and 1 boat hit, I’m happy
111 I had quite good luck, though the boats are probably doomed anyway
Yugo is great, seems like I usually only hit once.

Surely you had a sinking feeling after your French roll?? What in the world, only 1 hit, from infantry no less. Even though the round 1 defense was poor, you come out with a significantly below average result. As you know, this is why one shouldn’t go for Normandy.

106, seems like I usually lose that.

You didn’t have any disasters, but that collection of results… well, I already said it above.

We’ll see what happens on UK1

[gamerman01]

First round France, chance of attacker scoring

0 hits - 0.03%
1 hit - 0.34%

And for defense,
0 hits - 0.33%
1 hit - 2.6%
2 hits - 9.1%

So yours was in the bottom 0.37% and mine, bottom 12.03%.

Sorry if it’s annoying, I always comment on G1 dice.

Not at all. I normally don’t comment the dice. What can I say?! At least you won’t blame the dice when I win:blush:

[gamerman01]

I was gonna say the same, but had rambled too much.

I agree, you now have a built-in excuse and I have no excuse, unless something else big happens. :face_with_cowboy_hat:

[Me1945]

I still assume the dice will go statistically normal. Let’s have this game fair, quick and enjoyable.

[gamerman01]

I’m getting a headache
I’m trying to get US-UK1 done tonight

[Me1945]

Take your time. I know it is not an easy desision. No worries. We can proceed whenever you are ready.

[gamerman01]

The headache was figurative only, as a compliment.
Making progress, here :+1:

[gamerman01]

Now time for a break

[gamerman01]

OK, scramble to 97?

[Me1945]

3 firs scramble

[gamerman01]

Uh oh. Here we go -

[gamerman01]

I rolled the other battles first.

I score 2 non-sub hits - your choice?

uk1 scramble 2.tsvg

[Me1945]

Kill CC and hit BB

[gamerman01]

I need to acknowledge that is some very good luck through UK1, when the luck especially matters.
But how will it go I1 and G2.

I don’t know if yours works, but my battle calculator in 2.5.22294 doesn’t do AA guns right. It doesn’t have them firing at all.

You can test it by putting some air vs. AA
Sometimes it works, like with different combinations of countries, and often it doesn’t.
