XDAP-5 AllWeNeedIsHank vs Cannibalized by Fluff

[allweneedislove]

for the uk attack on sz112 i did not offer you the chance to scramble because of the time constraint.
if you would like to scramble we can reroll the battle via the forum dice.

@Boldfresh:

We have suggested that AllweneedisHank begin their next round game under the assumption that they will win, so you don’t have to worry about us playing past the deadline. The Germans attack is probably going to be G12, but I am not ruling out the possibility of a G11 attack at 1-2% odds if I think that that is our best chance of winning the game.

[DeadTom]

By the way, I have won a 1% battle in this game already, so it is not beyond the scope of possibilities.

no it is WELL within the range of possibilities.  dairyqryn survived an italian fleet against a combined US/UK attack that was less than a 1%er.  could VERY WELL happen.  :wink:

don’t think anyone but DQ has gotten luck that extreme in this tourney, and they have gotten similar in a FEW of their games.  pretty wild, but hey when you’re hot you’re hot right?

Well, if I planned this out right, you have a couple paths to victory. You can win by defending Moscow, or by attacking Berlin (or Western Germany which might not result in an immediate win). In either scenario you have a very good chance of winning, but there is a small chance (10-15%) that things go horribly wrong and you lose Moscow and the US air force. If you do not commit the US air force to one or the other, Moscow will likely fall and the game will continue. Choose wisely and hope that you don’t get bit by the dice.
