12L - '41 - Bold (allies +3) vs. Botider, -tech, +NO

[boldfresh]

yeah, that result was literally one hit off on your side from a low-luck roll and mine was right on.  can’t ask for much more than that!  :-)

[Botider]

certainly fair… nobody got jobbed.

and it would appear at this point - with the lead i have - that discretion is the better part of valor. as it is, i can stand a battle of attrition longer than you can. i think…  :wink:

call casualties…

[boldfresh]

sonofa… well, that REALLY hurts as you are now likely to come out of this battle considerably better than you should have…

soooooo typical for me.

let’s lose 11 inf in round 1 - 6 UK and 5 russian

:| :| :| :| :| :| :|

[boldfresh]

why do i always get kicked by the dice when i’m down.  come to think of it, why do i always get kicked by the dice PERIOD

[boldfresh]

i need to get about 6 extra hits in round 2 to make up for that dice job.

[boldfresh]

i mean round 1 defense.  i cannot BELIEVE you got out of there with 1 hit.  i would have and HAVE been recently hit by AA at such an alarming rate that i would be absolutely thrilled to have only lost 4 fighters if i was making that attack…  :roll:

[boldfresh]

i mean, look at how many 4, 5, and 6’s there are in that aa roll.  looks a lot like one of my legendary mass-fighter rolls.

[Botider]

aa fire is always a crapshoot… i remember a game i was playing last year that i had well in hand, until i got back-to-back aa fire that hit 3 out of 4 ftrs in the same territory, on consecutive turns. needless to say, i didn’t win. it happens… both ways.

can defenders help the cause?

dead on average…

[boldfresh]

that would have been 3/17 hits if you were rolling for fighters and bombers.  why doesn’t anyone ever roll that badly against me with 3’s and 4’s, i mean, it literally happens to me about every other day.   :?

it only happens one way for me, the negative way.  when i’m attacking i get everything shot down, and when i’m defending, i shoot down almost nothing.  i kid you not, i dare you to look back through my games.

[boldfresh]

why don’t you just pull off and keep this at least slightly sporting.  :|

[boldfresh]

i sonder if anyone plays low luck only with AA fire… that would make a lot of sense since it is SO important and can go so wildly in either direction.

[boldfresh]

yeah pull off.  then next round you can attack with all those aircraft again and maybe the aa will even out so the game doesn’t go completely off the rails…  8-)
