Rolling on forum because Triple A doesn’t do mixed fleet battles correctly. Maybe it wouldn’t matter for this battle, but I don’t want to have to figure that out.
Will edit for results
You’ve already shown Triple A skills, when you edited the fighter to 97, so that’s good
Casualty choice for 97 needed

Please kill the DD, Cruiser and a FTR

I am glad my spreading out tactic worked out. Usually when you can’t put all of your units in the same spot, it’s best to spread them all out. If I had put all of my aircraft in Malta or Syria, you would have been able to destroy all of them. Now I’ve only lost the bomber. That’s why my British NCM took so long, I had to check all possible Italian attacks and consider all distributions of UK forces. This one ended up being the best in my eyes.
-
No more Italian transports to worry about!
Can’t finish the turn right now, was just checking in quick
-
Oh, I was rolling it on the forum…
OK, I just clicked it in Triple A so it sent one dice result which doesn’t count. As it were, it was a hit with my sub and then I stopped, confused at what was happening.
SO
here is the UK defense:
[dice 2d6<=2]
[dice 1d6<=3]
[dice 2d6<=4] -
2d6<=2: 6, 5; Hits: 0
1d6<=3: 5; Hits: 0
2d6<=4: 5, 5; Hits: 0 -
Um…
3 immediate thoughts- I hope you don’t doubt the integrity of the forum dice roller
- Why are you and @GovZ getting punished for all the horrible dice I’m getting in my other 2 games
- I feel like I should give you a re-roll, but I just got another player who asked for a game minutes ago, and the dice could turn right around and rip me again.
So…

I am sorry, I’ve had several bad results recently but none of them singularly that rough. If you’d like to see me getting beat up by dice, look no farther than my last German turn against Pacifier in the playoffs, or the US/China/UK move Oysteilo just put down on me.
If we weren’t playing a game that counts in permanent record books and if I didn’t have a new guy hoping to play me, I’d give you an average result in its place.
OK, you probably don’t need any of that girly stuff, you’re a hardened A&A veteran and you know how it goes.
Now why did I attack Tunisia? Hm… I guess it’s not too much of a right or wrong.

That’s 5 5’s and 2 6’s in an important round 1 fleet battle. I gotta feel guilty about that.

I handled everything properly, but it would have been even better if I’d conducted it in a way that MARTI dice were not rolled at all.
Wouldn’t you know it the MARTI had a very different result than the one that counted on the forum
If it’s a bad look, I’m happy to talk about it but knowing you what amount I do, I think you understand. Still, I’ll feel better after I hear from you. To your credit, I know more than a couple of players who would have a meltdown.

No worries, I never get meltdowns from the dice. You did everything right. 😀
-
Whew, I really was worried, thanks for assuring me
-
I am a bit unusual in getting ANZAC planes to India ASAP, then destroy Italian can openers.
Yours is even a bit more unusual (which is often a good thing) in going straight to Europe and getting to the Med faster, though time to the Eastern front might actually be a turn slower and requiring a Gibraltar airbase. But with the Italian fleet being stupid healthy, the ANZ planes to Mexico make sense - nice!
-
@gamerman01 Yes, I am not a fan of ANZAC building subs/transports, unless I go KJF. Usually the damage you can do to Japan is negligible. Fighters however are a much more effective way to bring the ANZAC resources into action! And I like this path through Mexico because of several reasons. I have actually not tried the path via India before.
-
India crush used to be a common strategy and the planes to get there were vital. I had a playoff game about a year ago where if I hadn’t gone all planes to Java, then to India ANZ2 India was gone J3
-
@gamerman01 I assume the British took Java so that ANZAC planes could land there?
So India crush is not used anymore?
