G40 Wheatbeer (Allies +18, joint decision) vs AlexGreat

[lexgreat]

I think its better to not assume anything here. Pls pick casualties for my 7 first Rd hits (one sub also hit, I damaged an AC). Just in case you can give a further OOL, pls do, but happy to send this round by round.

Better not select per the dialog box, otherwise the next rolls would come automatically, right?

[wheatbeer]

Just tested and it doesn’t allow me to select and send back map without rolling.

Won’t let me save with the casualty selection screen open, and once you click “OK” it immediately rolls the next dice (unless there’s a surface/submerge issue I guess).

[wheatbeer]

For these 7 hits:
sink the damaged carrier
damage the 2 undamaged carriers
damage the bb
sink both subs
sink 1 dd

OOL after that may depend on whether or not Japan saves it’s submarines and how well I defend in round 1.

[lexgreat]

you hit sub x1 and only 5 times after that….I took x2 dam BB, destroyed one AC, took one DD and one sub.

In Rd 2 one sub hit, I damaged another AC. Then 8 hits to allocate…sorry Wheat, maybe Rd 2 defense makes up for this.

[wheatbeer]

loses everything except the American fighters I guess

[lexgreat]

BB and ANZ fig also would survive, if you want that

[lexgreat]

ah sorry my fault, you are right. Was pre-selected, didnt notice.

[lexgreat]

forgot sub 39 to 42, sry.

[wheatbeer]

I didn’t think my odds were that bad in SZ54 … maybe I missed something when I planning the Allies.

I think I would need some sort of dice miracle to win the match. Do you think it’s premature for the Allies to surrender?

[lexgreat]

last time you proved me wrong, the cause was really lost, so I certainly would not want to say again it does not look that bad. Up to you and no prob, I also think it would be difficult for you.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, I officially surrender.

I need to review this one later to see how I could have held or regained Gibraltar. Can’t let Italy keep a real economy so long  :lol:

[lexgreat]

This game was quite similar to our last one from how it evolved. Dice also were never ugly for me. Thx for taking those games parallel to League, always a pleasure and challenge to play you, and all the best for your play off games!
