Big error that I sent US DD to 55 instead of the out-of-sight ANZAC one.
Stroke of luck for me the infantry in Bryansk hit, but how will the important ANZAC vs Italy battle go? For this moment the ANZAC fighters went straight to India…

@gamerman01 right move. I did contemplate it and thought if you had a great roll round 1 I would revisit.

[gamerman01]

Bryansk deja vu

I got an exactly average roll -

What do you lose?

R10 Bryansk.tsvg

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I htought you might. For round 1, I will lose inf and mechs. If you keep going, there is a chance I will lose art over mechs, but not yet.

[gamerman01]

Uh oh, you are 3.5 under,
And I am 2 1/3 over on the 2nd round. This is the opposite of last time so far.

File -
R10 Bryansk 2.tsvg

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 all mechs this round

[gamerman01]

You roll up 5 1/6
This party might be over, but maybe not. Let’s see…

[gamerman01]

3rd round, this feels eerily similar.

1 1/3 under, 7 hits instead of 8 1/3, what do you lose?

R10 Bryansk 3.tsvg

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 6 mechs and an art (I believe I have one mech and am keeping it alive.)

[gamerman01]

That does leave 1 mech, yes
Surely the Germans won’t do it again… hard winter…

[gamerman01]

Creepy, another 3 rounder. Retreat, place, your turn

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 looked to me that i was a bit above average on that last round as well. Maybe 11 or 12? So a good start for you, but looks like the dice ultimately favoured me.

[gamerman01]

I dunno, felt like it was basically even because my first round was better - I’ll run the overall calc for 3 rounds and that will tell us
So glad there was no AA there this time.
