12L AA50-41 DizzKneeLand33 (Axis) vs. U-505 (Allies +9) +NO -Tech

[DizzKneeLand33]

My musical ability can be summed up in one line from a movie that came out when we were in high school….

“Never had ONE lesson.”

[DizzKneeLand33]

Do you want me to kill the bombers first in Russia on a full attack?  I can roll first if you want to see that before deciding.

[U-505]

Yes, kill the bombers.

Your advantage is significant enough that unless I come up big early Russia is going down this turn. I was debating using less Russian armor in Poland and/or putting all of the UK fighters in Russia instead of holding back 2 of them. I just eyeballed the numbers incorrectly last turn and I left myself a little lean.

It is amazing how a few units make such a big difference.  It is also amazing how close to the odds that battle went.  I’m so used to the dice of the CD (been playing classic that way since 1999) that it’s a refreshing change to see more “normal” dice lol.

[U-505]

I’m attacking France with the UK. I assume you want the Italian units killed last, with the exception of the fighter, since they move before the US, but you can change it post battle if you wish.

I’m just going to run one or 2 additional turns just to see if I can bring down Germany before the Japanese hordes arrive. I don’t expect miracles, but I’ve seen the dice do crazy things before. Actually, if this battle goes poorly, I’ll end up resigning.

[U-505]

Alright. We’re done here. Are you up for another game?

[DizzKneeLand33]

gg!

Another one sounds great – it looks like we can play two games vs each other in league, and a third if we each win one?

Did you want to switch sides with the same bid, or rebid the game?  As soon as we know that, let’s set up a new thread for the second game.

The possibilities in AA50 are seemingly endless!

[U-505]

We should probably bid again since 9 is considered a low bid by many people. I’ll start with 11.

[DizzKneeLand33]

I’ll bid 9.  ;)

[U-505]

Ok. I’ll take the Axis. Where’s your placement?

[DizzKneeLand33]

2 inf Egypt, 1 inf Karelia.  See you on the next thread!

[U-505]

Coming up. Good luck.
