@lebowsky said in Simon33 (Axis) vs Lebowsky (Allies+16):
OOL in French Indochina? thats a gamble, lets see how it goes
Aso scramble from greece? I assumed you wouldnt, but better ask
WHEW!!! :grimacing:
Gotta eat my chicken nuggets and fries first
@gamerman01 You were super lucky! Going with CR and DD against one DD in that crucial battle :O
@gamerman01 What does that mean? :D
I meant don’t expect the post right away because I’m eating lunch. Should be able to pick up my car from getting repairs soon, too. I couldn’t spare a 3rd unit for 96. It is definitely crucial, plus I have a blocker now. Huge break.
93% to win, 4% transport survives. You have to take chances against a strong opponent or you will lose for sure.
I think I wanted the destroyer or cruiser in 95 to hit me so I could go carrier to 92, but who knows, maybe you attack and I get lucky
The just called, time to go get my car, will be a little while til I can finish - the noncoms are tough too
It’s awesome to have 2 subs and no Italian destroyers, though… Smart no scramble I think
@gamerman01 I think so because you would’ve just picked off my figs and still have navy left etc.
@gamerman01 Yes, the odds were on your side, but I was pretty much one die from a total different scenario there. Percentages are not always something to rely on :)
Absolutely. In our situation that transport is really huge
Like 1 move from being done, but I gotta go
@gamerman01 No worries.
@gamerman01 Wow there were many options that turn, decided on a more conservative approach. Everyone was on minus Combat Hit Differentials, which turned out to be in my favor due to the number of dice rolled.

Yes, I wanted you to have many options… let’s see what you did…
I almost forgot all about Vichy which would have been really bad
@gamerman01 You mean it would’ve left your UK ships much more exposed?
That AND 2 aircraft from 95 had to land on French soil and would be lost without a fight! ALSO, could not take Holland preventing German options for planes :)
Burned 2 transports as you know, but thought it would hamper a little bit to have extra infantry and AA in there to deal with.
OK, they could have landed on Malta, but if I didn’t see Vichy I probably would have landed Algeria and lost them. This is where not playing much lately can burn me
