15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

@JDOW:

Allied AA strikes back. 5/8 recently.

yay

I know the other battles went very well

more of same, huh

I would definitely have preferred to lose a plane less and 2-3 more ground instead.

I hope I think the same after looking at this

At least the Burma battle did not turn into a disaster after the AA fire.

Have you had any disasters all game (on your turn)?  Please remind me  :wink:

Well, I’m glad I got a hit with the double destroyers in 46 after your comment - see, your German bomber was doomed and you made the right decision  :wink:

What the?  I hit NOTHING after the AAA  :-P
Just wait 'til you get actual bad luck, JDOW  :wink:
I mean, so bad it makes you screw up your noncom because you’re upset

1/10 on defending 2’s, and the sub missed too…. feels like all game  :|

So I’m looking like a friggin’ GENIUS for putting AAA in Burma two turns in a row  :-D
Remind me, when India is getting overwhelmed and has 0-1 AAA

But yeah…… 2-3 more hits with my 2’s in place of 2 AAA hits?  No thanks
So I agree, even though it sucks to get 1/10 on 2’s, and the 1 hit I got was probably a sub that was going to get murdered setting up a destroyer block anyway, possibly (don’t know if I’m staying in 54 yet since I haven’t looked at noncom yet)

Ah, it’s fun to be able to talk about a game in process - the dice at least

Ahhh, 4 damage with a sub?  Sweet!!!

Hehehe after 4/6 AAA in Burma, JDOW whips an AAA to Shan from the Philippines - brilliant

Internet provider had problems all afternoon and evening and I’m just now back.  I see you have more fantastic luck, although it’s a huge hit by the Russians.  I hate convoy rolls, as you know, because it used to be automatic and set

Well, I already know my ANZAC/France move because I have to pretty much every turn just to do America, so here it comes

From round 1, I think these are some of the luckiest Germans I have ever seen
At least the convoy damage took
Russia tonight!

4/18 after 1/10 - awesome
And your little AA stat is heading back towards normal too with 3 huge misses
What a blessed I10/G11

That must be why I’m not tracking AA - I’m glad I don’t have to, if you have it!  Good!

This is the first time you’ve pointed out any of my luck, I think!  For good reason - I could go on and on about WHIFFING in Z97 on G2 and your nearly perfect G1

Well as you know, take it as a compliment, I’m having a hard time so I’m sensitive to every disappointing die roll…. and there’s been lots of disappointment!  But yeah, 4 Jap planes off the map to AA in Burma helps.  The longer a game goes on, the more the luck normalizes… normally…  :lol:

So that booming hit from Leningrad was your only AA hit?  Wow.  That one hurt, too
