M7574 & EM (axis) vs Anchovy & moulinex (allies) G40 alpha +2

[M7574]

oh.  crap.  I see what I did.  I forgot the rtl.  In every round.  :-o  that changes things.

where should I start?  re-roll the entire rnd 1 defense or just add the rtl rolls?  Obviously rnd 2 will be a complete re-roll.

[anchovy]

Just add the rtl rolls and continue from there.

Moscow still falls!!!  The rtl reinforcements were not enough to save the Kremlin.  Stalin is found dead in the rubble, it is assumed to be from a tank shell as the city was raized.

Its still a game boys.  The fate of the free world hangs in the balance after the decisive whermacht victory in Moscow.

Yeah, the Allies choked out in the first 2 rounds.  The aa blank shooting almost hurts more, though…  :-(

Well, I guess it’s a lot better than having 40 German armour sitting in Moscow…  :|

2/25 from the rtl hurt probably the most.   My personal favorite was my tanks rolling at like 75pct in round 3 of the attack that didn’t count. :cry:

I guess I’m just glad to have won the battle.  I would guess I had about a 25-33 pct chance of winning that battle, let alone taking it with 12 units.  Chalk it up to superior battle tactics from war-hardened shock troops and their Field Marshalls.  No luck involved whatsoever.  LOL! 8-)
