:-o

ool egy: bmb first, if the battle has gone like this before I must elect to lose a tank instead of losing the German inf I may need to ponder it, no need if I lack 50% chance to win with an avarage defense roll at that point…

[seth4god]

I hate you dicey  :evil: But I guess we’re evenish for npr  :wink:

Actually you forgot one fighter, let’s see if the last one can fight as well as the rest:

ARolls: 2@1 1@3; Total Hits: 02@1: (2, 5)1@3: (5)
DRolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (6)

So, just so I’m tracking you want me to keep rolling egy if you have better than 50% odds, otherwise I stop and ask? Hmm, yeah I was thinking about the 3 who could scramble. China map will reflect loss of a ftr.

Err, less than 50%

[Mistergreen]

The other way around since I start at less than 50%:
ool egy: bmb, inf, arm
Only if you have more bad dice and at the point where I could elect to lose the arm instead of the German inf, if I got 50% chance to win the remaning battle please stop and ask, Ill have faith in your combat calc or headcount…  :-)

I expect haw will more than make up for npr since it has further ramifications in sz26…

…with new typing the short answer is yes…

[Mistergreen]

…or no, I’m confused, read the longer answer…  :roll:

[Mistergreen]

I noticed I did not deploy my ss in sz6’ I’ll stick them in saud and deploy them next round since I expect they greatly affect US….  :-)

[seth4god]

Tracking, it’s about what I meant to say and figured you wanted . . . I just didn’t put it quite right. And yeah, I probably wouldn’t have attacked sz26 without putting out at least one blocker or two if I saw that you had another 3ss to throw at me.

I just want round 9 to be over with and hope round 10+ brings me better luck.

Yes the dice did not like you this round. But I understand why you felt no great need to protect Moscow from the blitz…  :-)

SCREW YOU DICEY .  . . there I feel a little better after dying a little inside. NPR is made up for now, so let’s have no more wildly aberrational dice rolling for either side from here on out okay dicey?

@Mistergreen:

Yeah, I had about 80% chance to hold bry with at least 1 unit still. I say had because at the rate the dice have been rolling for me lately, I’d say it’s probably 75%+ you at this point.  :|

Just as an fyi, tomorrow evening . …  err later today, I report for my weekend warrior gig. I’ll be packing and getting ready tomorrow, but I should be able to get a turn in before I leave . … maybe. Otherwise it’ll be until late Sunday or so before you hear from me again. I’ll stay up late enough to see what Italy does(sz99 fleet/bry can open), but I need to hit the sack after that.

[Mistergreen]

Well I can tell you up front one thing that Italy will do:
Even with the bmb dead my calc gives me almost 22% to open the can and since the dice seems to love me at the moment that should be near 99.99%  :evil:
Anyway even 21% odds a 6 ipc investment I think is well worth it for a shot at Moscow  :evil:

How could your bomb have reached bry and still land? There’s no AB and you can’t send air out unless they have a valid landing spot. Oh and you should have 2 less inf on egy, I shorted myself in my moment of agony and disappointment.

[Mistergreen]

3 Japanese ss placed in ula for deployment next turn.

I’m 99% sure but I about to locate the map to double check, Crete is neutral right…

bmb: sz98,sz99,sz100,ros,bry(open the can),nukr

I shall remove the inf…  :cry:
