T2 Playoff JWW vs wheatbeer BM

@wheatbeer:

@wheatbeer:

I won’t rebuild everything (too hard to double check) … I was just going to reload the last American save, skip past everything to UK’s CM, roll the SZ37 battle only, then edithe original map.

Map above is only for rolling the single battle.

I thought I had a cr and another tipped BB?

[666]

@wheatbeer:

Whoops, before I do that, I forgot to edit Japanese units back to SZ37 one sec

I bet you rue the day you offered this reroll. lol…I hope you get to use one as well

[wheatbeer]

Haha! Well, if UK whiffs here, I might be forced to use one just to try and avert total disaster … we’ll see if I get luck or not.

2 hits, OOL?

[666]

@wheatbeer:

2 hits, OOL?

I think it will have to be the cr and one fgt

[wheatbeer]

oof, Japan rolled 6/6 hits

[666]

looks like it’s your turn for a re roll!

[wheatbeer]

Sadly, yes  :lol:

If Allies don’t clear SZ37, I’m in big trouble, so I have to try.

[666]

@JWW:

looks like it’s your turn for a re roll!

hmmmm, what do i have 16 + 2 + 3 = 21, that’s 3 hits with a roll of three to determine a 4th hit?

[666]

@wheatbeer:

Sadly, yes  :lol:

If Allies don’t clear SZ37, I’m in big trouble, so I have to try.

I don’t know about that I think JPN is already crippled. I should have blocked w/the dd. It will take time to get my fleet down there, if I can and you’ve taken two isles, that is a big $ swap, 21 pic’s per turn or something like that….I should have blocked…quite a blunder on my part.

I thought you played conservatively? you weren’t supposed to attack

[wheatbeer]

UK

2 fig, 1 tact, 1 bb

6 + 4 + 4 = 14 = 2 hits r2

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (5)

Japan

1 carrier, 1 cru, 2 fig, 2 damaged bb

2 + 3 + 8 + 8 = 21 = 3 hits r3

Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (5)

[wheatbeer]

@JWW:

I thought you played conservatively? you weren’t supposed to attack

I’ve been playing more aggressive in Balanced Mod, or at least trying to.

I thought Japan was getting too strong to play conservative … trading DEI might have been sufficient if China had anything going on  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

UK damages bb, loses 1 fig, 1 tact
Japan loses cru, 1 fig (assuming same as before)

UK

1 fig, 1 damaged bb

3 + 4 = 7 = 1 hit r1

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (2)

Japan

1 carrier, 1 fig, 2 damaged bb

2 + 4 + 8 = 14 = 2 hit r2

wipes out UK, no roll needed

[wheatbeer]

What units do you want left?

carrier, 2 damaged bb

or

carrier, fighter, 1 damaged bb

or gambler’s approach

damaged carrier, 2 damaged bb, + fighter lands somewhere

[wheatbeer]

@JWW:

have you ever played Low luck? I used to think I would hate it but it might not be so bad. I just never wanted it to be a simple math exercise……

I have played low luck (can’t remember if any of them were league games or not).

I think it might favor Axis too much in OOB games (not sure that can easily be fixed by bid), but maybe it would work okay for Balanced Mod since Allies have more economic potential.

I’d been willing to try a low luck game after this one if you’d like (league or otherwise).

[wheatbeer]

Small and medium battles still have a fair bit of swing in low luck, especially if there’s anti-air or submarines.

(When I do low luck rolls manually, I lump subs into the total AP unless there would actually be a surprise strike … but TripleA will always roll subs seperately regardless)

I guess, I will take the carrier & 2 damaged BB’s….
