11L '41 SouL(+12) v Gamerman01(x) no tech, Game 3

[gamerman01]

@souL:

I could have only surmised an invasion of Moscow was a bit too risky with 1 ground unit and 4 air units v. 5 ground units and an AA.  I can’t speak for gamer in that regard, but essentially if I took Karelia that invasion might have been win or lose the game.

No, you’re right.  I wasn’t even looking at Moscow.  I hit Bel to increase odds on EUk, and I think even 3 ground units and 4 air units v. 5 ground units and AA is too risky.

Bold here leveled 3 of 5 aircraft including the bomber on G2, making my 80% battle on his main forward stack plummet to like 20%, and he still has the gall to call me lucky.  I’m not going to give you the chance to shoot down 3 of 4 air units, or something like that, especially because I have a very important target that is not protected by AA.

Shoot, just a few months ago I lost 4 of 4 fighters to AA fire, and 1 of 2 bombers in an SBR at the same time.  5 of 6 crucial UK aircraft lost to AA just like that.  If you’re in a great position in a game, the last thing you should do is fly a bunch of air over AA that you can’t do very well without.  I have learned that.

@gamerman01:

Also, you overspent

CV - 14
FTR - 10
CA - 12
SS - 6
TP - 7
49 total
You had 48

You need to reduce your buy and adjust your IPC’s on hand accordingly.

[boldfresh]

well 1/7 on twos in epl is a lot better than the 0/10 i had against you gamer, when you hit me 8 times and retreated with no losses.  :x

Once again, you are pulling out the data you want.  Your luck was just fine immediately surrounding the 0/10.
