I was fine with 30%, but that was not fine by you. I mean it happens sometimes you know.
Yeah you don’t have to invest much in the atlantic even after london goes.
I probably should have bought couple carriers one round before then get fighters the next to fly in. so I could have had more naval there in the spot I needed it, I usually do that, but I didn’t. It is fine.
don’t worry about it. Was it a big mistake, yeah probably, but germany might have seen it ahead of time and ended up getting more naval in advance.
~edit
I take that back, I might have gotten blocked from london by a single destoyer, if I couldn’t hold the spot next to london seazone.
Best thing you could have done different was probably keep your russian sub alive. that usually forces germany to block usa from attacks with more than a destroyer or back off, since his naval is not good on defense, he would need enough italians on west germany to take back denmark… which is hard to do considering usa is one swing away from going for italy instead.
So yeah you forgot to move your sub and you paid the price. :P
hell your sub had an exact 1% chance to sink damaged bb and fesh carrier and 11 transport. You could have took the easy 1% at the cost of 6 ipc, massive pay out 1% lotto roll.
you was just like, “nah dawg, ima convoy for a dolla, screw the lotto.” I’d do that attack all day, 1 in 100 games, instant win, 3 in 100 games scored a carrier kill. I’d buy that for a dollar. Somewhere around 2 ipc pot odds, without calculating implied equity you can say running the sub away was a better option. keeping the sub there to just die to a destroyer later, 1/6 to hit a sub, 1 dolla + sub convoy average up to 3 total.
Point is it was a reasonable gamble to attack and go for the lotto or to run the sub away that turn and not overstay your welcome. The sub can defend usa or kill a blocker for him. This is the best bet you can get. Though I wouldn’t blame someone for trying to hit the lotto with a single sub, the implied equity is huge.
Little mistakes have a big impact, just how it is. I am not going to do the math on the implied equity ie. stranded german men on scotland etc compared to sub still alive as a potential blocker killer.

Listen this is a dice game, there is lots of math that goes into it, and it is more than just % to win and % to lose for each battle. You have to factor in the cost and payout, as well as equity.
Also since you aren’t gambling with your life savings at a poker table, you can also just do it for the fun of it. If people didn’t go to vegas to have fun, vegas would be bankrupt.
This is a game, have fun. The axis get to pick and choose what spots they are in, the allies just have to make the best of it.
I got lemons and I am making lemonade.
It is not so easy being the allies eh veqryn? Can’t just screw around with Japan, no rush, USA just put more stuff in the atlantic, I guess I don’t have to do anything then. ooo I lost my fleet, oh well, back in it.
