L25 Classic VictoryFirst (Axis) vs. leemorrison (Allies)

leemorrison

@leemorrison So you are missing Jets and HBombs.

Suggest you roll one dice Even for Jets. Odd gets you Hbomb and probably the game.

Come on Ruskie AA gunners

@VictoryFirst said in L25 Classic VictoryFirst (Axis) vs. leemorrison (Allies):

Hi Lee, posting the start of my Japanese turn here. I spend all my money on tech and was lucky enough to get 5 hits, however 4 techs are activated, I wonder why that is.

@The_Good_Captain I thought when rolling for which tech you get, if you roll the same number you get to roll again? So should I be getting 5 techs here or is the 4 correct?

That’s correct. Roll it off here on the forum is my suggestion. And whoa! That’s crazy! But that’s what its there for… the big “Hail Mary”.

VictoryFirst

@The_Good_Captain

Thanks! That means I will get one more chance to turn the tables.

Even = Jet Power, Odd = Heavy Bombers

1d6: 2

@leemorrison

You are in luck, I got all the techs except for the one I needed. Lol.

The_Good_Captain

@VictoryFirst without looking at the game - if you can limp to the next turn and roll again - your odds of securing the HB just went WAY up.

The_Good_Captain

to everyone: this is also why its good to keep a bomber on the board when you roll for tech. its far more lethal when you have a bomber that is instantaneously able to throw three dice on the turn of breakthrough.

VictoryFirst

@The_Good_Captain

You are right, however HB this turn would be particularly lethal because then I’d have 80% chance of capturing Moscow. Next turn that might not be the case because Lee will be prepared for it.

I bought 6 bombers before rolling for tech so that in case I get HB I perhaps could catch Lee of guard. Now the surprise factor is gone. Berlin will probably fall this turn.

@leemorrison Use the second one, made a couple of edits.

VictoryFirst

I’m stupid btw, I shouldn’t have bombed/attacked you but rather stacked up Germany with the Japanese airforce, then Germany would live for another day as well as my air force. Now the game is I think lost.

VictoryFirst

@leemorrison

Actually I will change my mind. You can use the first one. It’s better if I take the 10% that Berlin holds than the 0.1% that I take Moscow.

VictoryFirst

@The_Good_Captain

One more question, can an AA gun move and fire a rocket the same turn?

leemorrison

@VictoryFirst I think so

leemorrison

@leemorrison Just to confirm, all the Jpn Air is in Germany on the map to use

VictoryFirst

@leemorrison

That’s correct. If you take Berlin this turn I will surrender.

leemorrison

@VictoryFirst OOL needed. only 13 hits. US may be butchered.

VictoryFirst

@leemorrison max defense, so you can take the Japanese bombers first.
