XDAP Semifinal: JDOW+ME1945 vs Adam+AxisDominion Allies+35

[Adam514]

Why wouldn’t kamis apply?

It would be unlikely if both kamis hit though.

Anyway I did the US-Anzac double 10 times (no kamis) and Allies won 6 (I also had the impression that Allied dice were inferior), so with Russia the whole ordeal is over 50% easily imo.

[Adam514]

Btw may we have kami orders by the time Italy is posted please?

[Me1945]

@Adam514:

Yes, if ANZAC goes all force attack, assign 3 kamikaze strikes to each ship.

Sorry for the delay Gents, couldn’t finish it during the weekend and no time during the weekdays this week.

To clarify one edit. 1 Fig and 1 Tac started the turn from WGR. TripleA did not let me fly them to 113 although I am certain the could, thus I edited it.
A total of 3 air craft was eligble to land in 113, the finland attacker and 2 from Normandy.

SZ19 is cursed waters for the Allies. Those japanese ships certainly earn a medal!

[Adam514]

Alrighty we concede, good game!

Very well played. I felt like the Allies were played very well here too, but even with 35 bid we couldn’t get enough lead, although at times it looked like the Allies had the edge. In my opinion, you could have pretty much finished us off if you had sacrificed a bit on the Russian front to secure Egypt with mechs and tanks as Germany, and let Italy reinforce there until the end of the game.

It was a great game for my last vanilla game, thanks.

Cheers and good luck in the rest of the XDAP.
