  • Can I get an OOL for the bloodbath that is about to ensue in SZ97? I’m going to lose about 9 planes on average this turn (more with my luck)…. need to take some deep breaths and cross my fingers super hard :P.


  • I’d like to see your purchases, the other combat moves, the board as it sits, etc. Since it’s SUCH a complex battle, would it be ok if I gave you my OOL as the hits come up?

    Just as one example, if the dice are so horrific for you in the first round that it looks like you’ll lose the battle or have to retreat, I’d save the carrier rather than tipping it, etc. 98% of battles are so straight-forward that any OOLs can just be taken care of all at once. But I like the experience to be as close to matching what would happen face-to-face as possible. And in those complex battles, I think the defender does a disservice to themselves by giving an OOL before it is needed.

    Any issues with that?  :-D


  • No issues, that makes complete sense. I’m probably going to bail as soon as the carrier gets tipped, so totally understand. Though, if you have more than two hits left after round 1 I’m gonna be severely ticked. I just try to do as much ahead of time as possible because of my inconvenient schedule. I’m buying at least 1 bomber and 2 german subs in the med. Not going to let you keep Italy down without a tremendous fight. Those are the absolute best kind :).


  • In my exuberance I forgot to save the file before attacking. I got 7 hits in 97, you have one thing left. What shall it be? I bought 1 bomber, 2 subs, 1 tank, 1 mech, 7 inf, 3 art. Attacking normandy (2 tanks 1 mech) and yugo (4 tanks 4 inf). Your massive 97 stack saved Russia for a turn… :(.


  • Please leave the British Cruiser alive. I’d like a 50% chance to take out another German plane in Round 2. And I sacrificed a live chicken to the dice gods to make sure I get some fair dice on the defending rolls  :wink:


  • God damn your chicken!!!

  • I was a little worried, though. I wasn’t sure if it would work, as I sacrificed it in the microwave. I can’t stand the sight of blood. Not since that day over Macho Grande.


  • Well, good job. Now all my pilots are so shell-shocked they all have drinking problems!

  • I’m probably not going to be able to come back from that, but ah well. That’s what makes the game so unpredictable. May you forever be blessed with 6’s :P.


  • I’ll cash in those 6’s when it’s time to play a tech game  :wink:

    Almost the EXACT opposite went down in my game against Hank13 - actually that’s why I didn’t do Tobruk “and” Taranto against you - it was my turn to be shell-shocked in that game. I was 99.4% to win at least one of those 2 battles and over 75% to win both. I. Got. Smoked. Uphill both ways in the snow from there, now – and it’s only a matter of time until Africa is one giant Italian colony… So blame the dice on him – the dice gods needed to make be whole again after that one.

  • Yikes, that battle in Hong Kong nearly gave me a conniption fit. This game should come with a surgeon general’s warning…. At least that air battle went how I expected. I probably would’ve conceded if that was another Taranto :P. And damn you for that move to SZ7, made me buy an airfield out in the middle of nowhere :P.


  • I know you can capture it right back, but the loss of 1 turn of builds and the IPC loot makes it worth a try.

    Failure will be very costly, but I don’t think it’ll be fatal. I guess we’ll find out. It kills me to possibly be throwing away my Europe gains, but dang this is a fun move. I haven’t played Axis in like a month and I need some offense; all this running away all the time has Robin’s minstrel singing in my ear…

    In any case, kamikaze and scramble orders please.

    I just looked at the computer screen for 10 minutes without hitting “post”. This is very unlike me to do. Sigh. Oh well, here goes…  :-o

    Aaaand I just added another piece to the battle. No sense going down with chambered rounds… Kamikazes always hit against me so I added a little meat to the grinder.

    japan orders.tsvg


  • Hmmm, it never even occurred to me that you’d go for that… No scramble, I’ll chance it on the invade. Go AA guns! Kamikaze orders: 1 for each hit point. 1 on both cruisers and destroyers, 2 on the battleship please. Good luck. I love these fun battles :).
