12L - '41 - Bold (allies +3) vs. Botider, -tech, +NO

@Myygames said in L24 OOB Myygames (X) vs GovZ (A+42) Game II:

I am just now doing 106. your subs first strike did not hit an I hit. your OOL is not so clear here since I do not know if your DD will hit and need to select casualties for britain. I will interprete this as “you hit and I dont” and sink DD and submerge. Hope you agree in this situation.

It ended up in the correct place so no worries. This is exactly the situation gamerman was talking about in the league discussion thread. TripleA is forcing a casualty choice before the destroyer rolls when it shouldn’t.

I assumed no scramble in sz6.
If you want to scramble I will reroll the battle

Skipped intercept due to odds for Strat bombing in India

OK… it is pick on Badger time

I don’t have that many things, you did a lot very well.

You’ve played 57 games across all 3 versions since 2021, so you have much more recent experience than I
I’m just an old veteran, coming back in 2022 and only 15 games since then.

So you learned the first commandment of A&A play a long time ago. Thou shalt not blunder.
Anyone who doesn’t blunder is hard to beat.
