13L Play-Off, SF, Gamerman01 (Allies +14) vs AlexGreat

[gamerman01]

Done reviewing combat now, so I will say I am happy to win 106
Will have a tough decision to make on UK1 with 111

[lexgreat]

well, a 50/50 but with added bonus in case of a German win. Cant have it all.
Yes, UK1 certainly asks questions. One way or the other I will learn in this game.

[gamerman01]

:-)
I am glad for your reply

Pet peeve of mine, though, so I want to point this out….

106 was not a 50/50.  There is a pretty good chance that both ships hit in the same round, so the transport would survive.

In fact, it is 40/40/20
You only had a 40% chance of sinking both, I had a 40% chance of winning with no loss, and there was a 20% chance we both lost 1 ship and the transport survives.  :-)

[gamerman01]

Pretty sure I will attack 97 and 111 both on UK1, but I don’t really know until the time comes and I’m crunching the numbers

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

lol I don’t know how many times my Yugo has gone 0 for everything, but it’s a lot

Just twice 0/5 in my previous games:-)

I’d say all in all it went slight above average for the Germans.
Around British waters UK hat 31 defense and created 6 hits. One hit above average, however Germans hit SO well that no fighter or BB could shoot twice.

Losing 2 Arty in France is not so nice, having 1,6 more Inf than average for Russia is nice^^

What I want to say: In case I could choose for this result instead of dice I guess I would take it, even if it is nothing be to totally excited about.

Looking forward to follow your game. Alex, show the community that Gamerman playing Allies at +14 isn’t an instant defeat for the Axis:D

Yes, Gamerman, mathematically absolutely correct. I am quite aware that we could both annhiliate ourselves as well, with the TT surviving. Whould have been fine by me.  But I was talking about the D alone, essentially, and the TT is the bonus. Probably the more important ship, though, but cant ask for that as well. (I did, of course, lol).

[gamerman01]

Indeed!  We should all be happy the dice were not extreme and we have a fair start!

Let’s see when I can get Russia played, then!  :-)

[gamerman01]

Oh, tech needs to be turned off so we don’t have to click through it every turn
I’ll take care of it

[gamerman01]

Let’s see… Russian strategy…
it’s been awhile

Scramble to 97?

[lexgreat]

Oh boy, momentous battles (imho) in Yunnan and 111. Went well for me so far, I fervently hope it does not turn totally against me UK1.

Need to run a few simulations and going to theater, you will have scramble later my night. Good move with UK to DOW Japan (I think).

[gamerman01]

And Hunnan X 2

I’m getting reamed by the dice so far

[gamerman01]

Isn’t it a pretty easy scramble decision?
