Although he is one of our 2 best players

Was that AndrewAAGamer?

No, I meant Axis-Dominion, who is #1 overall, by a lot

@VictoryFirst It’s only beginning

Oh you did finish the move!
Don’t look at me that way, I’m older

And I’m playing 4 at a time, like the good old days
It’s always my turn against someone!

My dice… since like November…

Z97

Italian swarm
SS, 2 DD, CR, 2 FTR, BMB

[dice 1d6<=2]
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 3d6<=3]
[dice 1d6<=4]

Anymore I’m thrilled with slightly below average (across all games).
You are not so lucky, I remember J1 in Classic!

There are 3 hits, and as a courtesy I point out the planes have nowhere to land without their undamaged carrier

I am currently using almost the exact same Allied opener in two other games and those are going for my feeling much more streamlined because there people allowed me to do my stuff.

I am pretty excited I get to play a great guy who’s coming into the league from outside. No doubt various tactics become almost standard in the league as players find what others are doing that works, and then we become just a little bit in-bred, probably

Waiting for 97 casualty choice

(didn’t want it to get buried)

I probably missed you until tomorrow.

Savegame

Rolling on forum because Triple A doesn’t do mixed fleet battles correctly. Maybe it wouldn’t matter for this battle, but I don’t want to have to figure that out.

Will edit for results

You’ve already shown Triple A skills, when you edited the fighter to 97, so that’s good

Casualty choice for 97 needed

No more Italian transports to worry about!

Can’t finish the turn right now, was just checking in quick

Oh, I was rolling it on the forum…

OK, I just clicked it in Triple A so it sent one dice result which doesn’t count. As it were, it was a hit with my sub and then I stopped, confused at what was happening.

SO

here is the UK defense:
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=3]
[dice 2d6<=4]

Um…
3 immediate thoughts

1. I hope you don’t doubt the integrity of the forum dice roller
2. Why are you and @GovZ getting punished for all the horrible dice I’m getting in my other 2 games
3. I feel like I should give you a re-roll, but I just got another player who asked for a game minutes ago, and the dice could turn right around and rip me again.

So…

[dice 1d6<=2]
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 3d6<=3]
[dice 1d6<=4]

UK
[dice 1d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=4]

I am sorry, I’ve had several bad results recently but none of them singularly that rough. If you’d like to see me getting beat up by dice, look no farther than my last German turn against Pacifier in the playoffs, or the US/China/UK move Oysteilo just put down on me.

If we weren’t playing a game that counts in permanent record books and if I didn’t have a new guy hoping to play me, I’d give you an average result in its place.

OK, you probably don’t need any of that girly stuff, you’re a hardened A&A veteran and you know how it goes.

Now why did I attack Tunisia? Hm… I guess it’s not too much of a right or wrong.
