casualty choice needed

[LuckyLindy]

i see my purchase was deleted somehow.  i bought 6 tanks.

[LuckyLindy]

screwy things are happening right now on the site.  RisingDragon just did a turn against me and an entire post of his doesn’t show up on the thread.  it only shows when you click reply and read the topic summary.

I know it was a very good roll, I hope you will not insist that it be rerolled or something because my purchase did not show up.  i assure you, i was not trying to be unfair in the slightest, I have never seen anything like that happen, I know I typed up the purchase…  :?

[LuckyLindy]

That was pretty much a do or die roll I know.  I just saw that if I didn’t go for it, the Germans would have CAU locked up next turn and then a very fast game.  The allies are far from out of trouble but with a roll like that it could help a lot.  I bought the 6 tanks to have maximum attack power for a desperation attack of CAU next turn if this one did not go well in the first round.

Cheers

Sigh that roll was insane, but w/e.

The OOL isn’t ambigious, 7 inf art as casualties.

[LuckyLindy]

there is an italian tank though.  if there is mixed forces, will you always lose the least expensive units first?

[LuckyLindy]

OK, let’s see the defense

D - 7 infantry, artillery, tank, 3 fighters
Rolls: 8@2 1@3 3@4; Total Hits: 58@2: (2, 4, 4, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3)1@3: (6)3@4: (2, 5, 3)

[Zhukov44]

Yikes.  60 ipc worth of units for 24 ipc worth of units.  Zhukov is not a happy camper.

EUK taken with 2 infantry, artillery, tank, bomber

that was some crazy dice

Noncombat Moves
bomber to RUS
2 infantry from CHI to KAZ
6 infantry from YAK to EVE
AA gun from PER to KAZ
submarine from Z23 to Z28
AA gun from NOV to RUS

Mobilize
6 tanks in RUS

Income
26 + 1 saved = 27

Sorry about that.  I just didn’t see a better option.  It was either sit back and watch you mob CAU or take a shot.  Your play has been flawless, you have just taken the worse end of the dice this round.

I guess it goes to show, it’s risky to corner a wounded animal  :|  I figured that might be my last chance to have an anywhere near even battle on the German-Soviet front.  Again, I feel bad, but this one is many dice from over.

Taken with two infantry, artillery, two tanks, bomber that is.  Was hoping to get three hits and retreat but that was just feeling greedy.

Yeah it was dumb of me to move to ekr, in hindsight.  I should have changed plans but didn’t think it thru.  Still, I really didn’t think you would attk, as the odds favored Axis.

I agree the axis were favored so i don’t think you can fault the move.  that will work out well for you more often than not.
