@ksmckay said in 19L QF Farmboy(Allies+10) vs ksmckay:
yeah, I remember arranging it so I could crush you if you moved there without the islands but nothing I could do if you grabbed them but at least that minimized the damage to the DEI.
yeah. that was a difficult choice that turn. It may have been better for me to go for DEI, but I thought there would too much attrition to hold anything for more than a turn.

this has been quite a fun game so far. You’ve done a great job of shutting me out of the contested allied bonuses. I’m thinking (hoping) I’ve finally gotten in a position where I can start holding some of those but because you are also not far from taking Moscow, it is probably too late.

Yeah, was pretty worried about things in the pacific (still am) with how much money was going there but things didnt go south quite as quickly as I thought they might. Would have preferred Germany make a bit of the money Italy ended up with but maybe its worked out. Still feel good about things but I know how quickly things can turn so we will see.
-
@ksmckay You gave me a 64% chance on Tokyo if your kamikazes don’t hit. I don’t think I am going to go for that (too much uncertainty given how much is relying on it) but just thought I would check if that is what you wanted to do.
-
are you sure? kamikazes block bombardment. so its 1 inf 1 art 1 inf 1 marine vs 3 aa 1 inf 2 ftr 1 tac
-
@ksmckay Ah. I didn’t know that Kamikazes blocked bombardment. I thought only a scramble would.
-
oh shoot, missed that the ftrs on midway can get there. If you dont care, then I will adjust slightly. But I am correct about kamis blocking all bombardment right? so I dont see where you get 64%
-
i guess I should confirm, but I was pretty sure they did.
-
its not likely I would do it in any case. I’m nervous about my chances in this game, but not that nervous yet to take that kind of gamble. But I was just surprised that you were giving me those kind of odds and thought you might have missed the fighters. I’ll double check the kamikaze rule but you are probably right. In which case the odds would be about 30%
-
They definitely cancel all bombardment. But i wasnt counting the ftrs on Midway. WIthout the ftrs I was giving you like 2% odds. If you dont mind Ill post a small edit to reduce the chances to what I was going for.
-
@ksmckay yeah I found it in the rules too.

yeah I dont mind giving you 30% chance on a non game ending target but wasn’t going for that on Japan. Thanks for the heads up.
-
@ksmckay no problem. In a sense it helps me since it pulls more units North and I likely wouldn’t have gone for it. But it would have been pretty tempting and if I could find a way to do it where I was really only risking the transports and the air, I might have gone for 30% given what the payoff was.

Yeah pretty sure it would be game ending so it would be pretty tempting.
Not that it matters but with the sub there you would have to send enough surface ships to kill the sub after kamikazes as you wouldnt be able to ignore the sub if I scrambled a ftr. So you would probably have to commit several dds or something as well. But either way, not what I was going for.
-
@ksmckay I ahve 3 subs to reach which should be enough but I would have to add at least 4 air. And if you didn’t scramble adn I lost in Japan then I would need to move carriers for that air to land. Plus it would be a big set up in improving my position in the pacific.
