You saved 5, not 1.  You didn’t even give yourself credit for the 1.  You have 23 on hand, not 18!

The transport is in 43 on the map, not 45 as typed

Wow, another great roll

You have one non-sub survivor.  Your plane has no-where safe to land and will crash if I retreat.  Do you save a plane, destroyer, or carrier?

11L_Maxo(11)_v_Gamerman01_1941_08e.AAM

[gamerman01]

Check that - 2 non-sub survivors.  If you save both planes I can just retreat and they splash, I’m afraid.
What 2 non-sub units will you save?
Which sub did I sink?  UK or USA?

[Battlingmaxo]

I wish I could roll like you…I just attacked DM’s 2inf in WCA with an inf arm 10ftrs and we got 1 hit each…don’t need to tell you what he did in rd 2

I’ll lose the UK sub  and keep the 2ftrs  I guess I should roll my defence

[Battlingmaxo]

Thanks for correcting the UK….will you go for the transports ???

[gamerman01]

I don’t know what I was thinking before about retreating and letting fighters splash - didn’t consider transports.  Sorry, did not mean to mislead - wasn’t intending to use gamesmanship.  Now I have a tough decision…

Of course I know what happened, you lost a tank or fighter in round 2 in WCa…  because it never fails

And as far as rolling like me, well, you haven’t seen my other games…  I’ve mainly been lucky against you lately, of course  :-D

I am losing 3 subs and will disengage

Gib - FTR (Z12)
Z14 - FTR (Z12) DD (Z15)
Fra - 2 BMB (Z12)
EPl - INF, ARM (Bul) 3 ARM (Cze)
Bul - ARM (Ita)
Blk - INF (Ger)
Sud - 2 INF (Cng)

Collect 33, 33 on hand

That was pretty bad… I’ve seen a LOT of BAD OFFENSE today!!!  Fortunately it hasn’t just been mine.

Let’s see…
Goo failed to take Phillipines on J1 with 2 infantry, art, armor.  I have a man still standing.
I failed to do anything but ding a battleship on UK1 with DD, CA, FTR, BMB against starting Italian fleet.  Lost DD and CA in first round
Karl attacked Z110 in 1940 with SS, 2 FTR, 2 TAC, BMB vs. DD, 3 FTR
My defense hit all 4, while he only got 2 hits and had to retreat.
I lose DD, FTR - he loses SS, 2 FTR, TAC.  He had overwhelming odds coming in
I attack Cha with 2 infantry and bomber vs. 2 infantry and artillery.  I lose everything in 2 rounds - he loses nothing.

Oh, and it extended to last night.
R1 vs. goo I attack 2 infantry and artillery in Ukraine with 6 infantry, armor.  I lost 6 infantry before (luckily?) taking it.
Going back, he attacked EPl on G1 with 2 INF, ART.  Lost everything.  I lost nothing.

Quite a few bad attacks in the past 24 hours or so, eh?

[gamerman01]

Your fighter and carrier weren’t placed, but never fear - I’ll have it on my next map
