13L G40 Boldfresh vs. Jeff28 (Allies +11)

well, it’s going ok.  i hit you twice in round 1 of 109 and you hit me back once.  i am trying to decide whether to lose the sub and retreat or lose a tac and go round 2…

or lose the sub and go round 2, of course.  those are the three options.  probably losing the sub and retreating.

yeah the rolls i think went several straight rounds of 3 for the sub and 6 for the cruiser.  i was like DANG, there’s something wrong AGAIN!!!   :roll:

well, the dice on the real game actually went pretty average, the most average of the three efforts anyway!  so GAME ON!!!  :-D

yeah take a look at that.  totally nuts 5 straight rounds of 3 then 6 for the sub/cruiser  :-o :-o :-o

but hey we can both be glad.  you can be glad that you didn’t have to play the first game, i can be glad we didn’t have to play the second game, and now we both got a little something in that round.

@Jeff28:

I am preparing to use Karl’s win in round 25 strategy.

–Jeff

what karl was able to do shall not be repeated. it was a one-off because i had fallen asleep.  he lulled me to sleep with his previous game, and by the time i woke up the second one was over…  :x  :lol:

yes sir!

let’s see how it rolls…  i’m online.

lose cruiser

fyi i have zero issue with noncombat changes as long as i haven’t rolled yet.  my biggest issue is that i do my very best not to allow any changes to combat moves after dice have been rolled.  there would have to be extenuated circumstances for me to consider it.
