:grinning: I’m pretty happy to have the ANZAC cruiser in 91 by round 3
Dice gave me 97 UK1, that’s why I have a good situation

I have noticed MARTI dice mails to be Extremely inconsistent.
I receive only a very small fraction of mails I am supposed to receive.Right now, it’s kinda risky to play league games when nobody can verify the dice results because MARTI is so unreliable
-
I see 2 sets of e-mails, yes, thanks for pointing it out. I haven’t noticed failure to receive the dice e-mails, but I remember seeing that some players had trouble based on who their e-mail provider is. You might be able to find that discussion thread - I can look for a minute, too
-
Oof. Did I miss the infantry on Guam? What a huge difference he made.
-
Yeah, sitting in Caroline with the Navy is quite comfortable
-
Feeling a little overwhelmed. Will have to muster some morale. Wanna hit those 5 subs, but would be leaving some units to get swallowed up. Maybe burn through some kamikazes, though, that’s worth something. If I ever even get to your kamikaze zones the rest of the game
-
Haha that was my goal! Use those subs to tempt you into attacking into my kamikaze ;-)
-
It (your trap) will likely work. Those bombers are expected in Russia anyway. The question is if I can bait a scramble and punish you with luck!
-
GAA I can’t remember how I overlooked re-capture of Carolines
-
You’re right, going after 5 subs in 6 with 3 fighters protecting doesn’t quite work - well played, sir
Now I fall for another trap. Scramble brown fighters to their death in 95, or allow the fleet to be obliterated and then retaliate with massive airforces?
-
Yeah these 5 subs in 6 were a gambit. I tried to find the sweet spot, where an attack was ALMOST but not quite a good idea.
I love kamikaze for this exact reason - often times the Allies can’t attack because they can’t be sure if a destroyer survives or not. Especially since hit units can’t fire back.As Allies, I sometimes try to attack without the absolute need to win, just to get these kamikaze out of the picture because it is so hard to calculate properly if Japan still has access to them.
Now over in Europe, I actually have placed myself in a difficult situation. I knew what awaited me but I tried to postpone thinking about the choice for as long as possible. But I’m afraid I can’t drag it out any longer.
On the other hand, with your big royal airforce and navy, there was not much Italy could do to save those few precious ships…These Italian Airplanes are so valuable to clear blockers… on land AND sea. On the other hand … you do have Anzac / French units on hand anyway…
Send those 3 fighters out, I’ll blast some British planes out of the sky with them!

Will be a bit, don’t stay up
