    will need OOL in SZ41 (I doubt it will affect my decision to press the attack or not, but just in case)

    let me know OOL for SZ41 when you have a chance


  • Yeah, just the expected order of loss is fine. Roll three carriers and one BB.

  • '17

    You mean damage three carriers and one BB, right?


  • Yeah–“roll” harkens back to the good old days when I played this game in person.

  • '17

    I was pretty sure, sorry for my paranoia.

    I hate doing suicide runs, but the chance of sinking those men by the end of ANZAC is too good to pass.

    Gonna reroll that.  You can chose to ignore the reroll or take it.

    Let me know what you prefer to do.

  • '17

    (including OOL)


  • One more damaged BB, and one lost carrier. I see where this is going :wink:


  • Oh, hey, sorry… I’ll take the first roll. Luck is a part, afterall.

    OOL is just whatever leaves me with the maximum defensive ability. I don’t care about IPCs and whatnot.


  • Perhaps a few planes one one or two of those carriers would’ve been prudent… oh well.


  • If and when we choose to lay this game to rest, I’d enjoy a rematch… I’d like to see, once and for all, if that Moscow in 5 thing can be done efficiently enough to break the game (and I know you’ll certainly have a refined defense for it as well).

  • '17

    I can’t ask for mercy later in this match, heheh  :-P

    Granted, you have a good shot to win in Europe before the US can save the day.

    And sure, I would have done some things differently.  Maybe play UK1 more aggressive (still undecided even if Germany does land in sita).

    Sorry these turns are going slow.  I know my UKP moves, but UKE has a lot of options.
