11L '41 Zhukov4 (Axis) vs. LL (Allies + 8) +NO, No Tech


  • @Zhukov44:

    So 12 figs survived 62 then?  Ok my bad then.

    Please try to make all units clearly visible on the map.

    OK, I will try to do so.  It’s difficult when you’re on OKI, FOR, or IWO but that shouldn’t be an issue going forward (I don’t see there being much more action on those tiny islands).  I appreciate you rerolling the AA fire, finally hit you!  Yes, I let the first one go but from now on if you say x number of rolls, then they must all be valid rolls so what you did was appropriate.

    Soviet turn 12

    Noncombat Move
    submarine from Z50 to Z36

    The Soviets sip on vodka and wait for Japan turn 12.

    Yeah sorry to jump to conclusions there re Formosa–in prep for g11 i had counted your figs many times and saw 11…so it was confusing to see another one there.

  • Over and over huh.  That’s two straight times you controlled FIC and secured the NO.  40% chance you could do it, and quite a large swing it is.  :|

    I find it kinda amusing that Vietnam (Indochina) plays such a big strategic role in Larry Harris’ war games.  If Russia falls in a KJF game, then it’s a battle in the jungle between capitalists and fascists.

    As for the dice, don’t forget about 62–the most significant battle of the game and a huge swing for Allies.  Sure, the early dice (like R1 BST) favored Axis and the early dicings tend to be the most decisive, but to say the dice have been uneven in this game would be an exaggeration–you’ve gotten lucky many a time…otherwise we wouldn’t still be playing after 12 rounds.


  • You are correct, the early dice are huge, especially on the German/Soviet front.  Even a very good result like Z62 late pales in comparison.

    I did get one good early result in EUK, which I had hoped would turn the tide that was building on the GER/RUS front.  It was quickly negated and more by the incredible defense Italy put up in Z16.  All things considered, I am quite certain the early dice favored the Axis considerably.  In fact, other than EUK and now Z62 late, I think it’s gone mostly the Axis’ way.

    No matter, just was stating the facts as I saw them, not wanting an argument, nor am I discounting your play, it’s been very solid.

    Cheers.


  • Will try to post Britain 12 this afternoon.


  • Needless to say, I will readily admit the dice need to start falling my way for a considerable period of time in order to right this ship.

  • I see that Formosa wasn’t properly flagged starting with the J12 map.  I’m guessing you probably moved it when you were investigating the American fighter on FOR.
