L12G4Karl7(Axis)v.Gamerman(Allies)+Tech(rematch)

[Karl7]

FYI, I am going to attack your fleet off car for the game (or rather, if I lose you win).  Before I lose you, what is order of loss?  Right up combat value with hit points first?

[gamerman01]

Rus - 2 FTR, TAC (Smo) AA (Volo) MECH, 4 ARM (Bry) ARM (Novo)
Bry - 5 INF, 4 ART (Rus)
Volo - INF (Novo)
Sam - 6 INF (Novo)
Novo - 11 INF, 2 AA (Tim)
Ura - 2 INF (Tim)

Place 8 INF (Rus)
Collect 24, 26 on hand

I would enjoy seeing it round by round and making choices round by round…
I promise I will check frequently so you won’t have to wait long.  I hope you don’t mind.  OK?

[Karl7]

oh, not a prob.  You know me, easy.

So I’ll have to think about how I am going to do it first.  It’s a big move.  If I win, then the Axis gets some breathing room.  If I fail, then…. :oops:  The calc says a little more than 50% odds of victory.  But as we know, the dice in naval battles can be very volatile.

It’ll be a few before I get it going.

[gamerman01]

I’ll be checking regularly the rest of the night.  Take your time

[gamerman01]

My home-made calculator has you clearing it with a couple of airplanes left over (but I’m calculating conservatively for me), so I think I agree with your calculator pretty much

And yeah - seems you need not just a victory but a lopsided one to make it a game…  :-)

[Karl7]

Ok Japan!

Well, I think the Axis need to make a break through now or it will be a long slow downhill ride.  So, Japan is going to roll some tech.  I need luck, like I did not have luck early on.  I am counting on the fabled idea that luck travels in circles… (although I admit while it does it seems to do so between games not with in them)  If no luck, well then the fates have spoken.
