@Karl7:

I’m just glad I scared that German bomber away!  :lol:

haha, nah he wasn’t needed anymore. Japan decided to get intimate  :wink:

and he was needed elsewhere anyway

hey, sorry for all the edits, didn’t see you were set up for strike on 110…  :-P

[Karl7]

thought hard about stacking 6… you would have won, but I was hoping I could get good reduction… alas, if it went to odd, you’d still have 14ish units left…

also, the BatCalc is pretty bad at sea battles I find… if the first round goes bad for you, then you’ll get crushed way out of proportion

I guess that’s revenge for my failed sealion against you last time!  :lol:

[axis-dominion]

thanks for the offer, but I’m going to pass for now. whenever I get diced that bad, it’s usually a sign from my higher self that I’m playing too much and need to slow down or take a break. so I’m going to wrap up my existing games and start ramping back down. I’ve got a lot of them cooking right now.

posted for the record

[Karl7]

wow:  British : 11.00

[JDOW]

wow, sick dice. What odds did the Germans have?

[Karl7]

Calc said 90+ for Germany

However looking at the rolls and the casualty profiles I can see how with just a tip of the dice the battle can go sideways, which it did

[Karl7]

But that being said I did get lucky

But I think the allies need luck or at least set themselves up for defensive opportunities that can cut their way
