13L G40.2 AllWeNeedIsLove vs Gamerman01 (Allies +10)

[allweneedislove]

well this is embarassing. i thought the sub would stop the uk from getting to sz114.
i checked the rule book and you can ignore it with the destroyer escort and i can not scramble. i lose berlin and the game.

i am not used to losing, even with poor dice. you played great and i was looking forward to finishing this game as i felt i might lose.

it is very sportsmanlike of you to let me change my noncombat, but my whole german(and italian) turn was based of the sub initiating a scramble. i am going to see if i change my noncombat, if i can still defend. if so, and you are still offering, i will take you up on the edit option.

[gamerman01]

Yes I’m still offering.

The sub can be ignored even WITHOUT any destroyers.
A sub has to be in the DESTINATION zone to stop unescorted transports.

[gamerman01]

I don’t take my wins off rules technicalities

Edit away

[allweneedislove]

im still looking(and calculating) to see if i can defend.

[gamerman01]

OK

[allweneedislove]

i think this should do it.(i hope usa does not hit lra)
your victory will feel much better this way, than a quick game over an opponent that does not know the rules.

Right - that’s what I’m saying
Time to take a look

[gamerman01]

Looks good
Pretty sure that will keep the Feuhrer safe on UK5

would you like to scramble in sz33?

[boldfresh]

allweneed - i’m not going to say anything more regarding strategy in this game, except to say, it appears gamerman wants to take his time because he had the opportunity to take berlin with 96% certainty after you made your adjustments and he declined.  :-)  or MAYBE he didn’t realize it?  :wink:

what am i talking about???  obviously it’s too early in the morning for my brain to be functioning - please disregard that.  sorry if i made your heart skip a few beats.    :?

[gamerman01]

Looks like I messed up the calculation on that
I could have moved 2 ANZ fighters there but thought it was 50/50 at the time
I considered air from Malaya but probably forgot the islands 2 spaces away from 33
I don’t know - oh well

Do not scramble the tac - it will remain to take out your infantry and then sink your surviving cruiser  :wink:

[allweneedislove]

after you showed me that i did not defend berlin correctly, i feel the same way about you miscounting.
is there anyway we can edit your past turns? then i will redo the j turn.

[gamerman01]

@allweneedislove:

Yeah, all we would need to do is edit the ANZ fighters to the Carolines.  I didn’t want to ask you to do it because it involves re-figuring your Japan turn.  Sounds like you’re willing to do that and I really appreciate it, but I’ll take my lumps.  Thanks for offering the option.

The ANZ fighters in Java can get to India and then potentially to Russia, and after your victory, at least your planes will be out in the middle of the Pacific

I’m sure I saw everything that could get there…. must not have entered something in the calculator correctly.
Game on - no scramble

[allweneedislove]

just so i am clear.
you would like your anzac round 4 noncombat move of fighters from queensland go to caroline islands and NOT java?

[gamerman01]

@allweneedislove:

No, I want you to leave everything as is, and don’t scramble the USA tac so it will fight the infantry

[gamerman01]

I had changed my mind in the middle of that post

I know it was confusing that I was talking about editing the ANZ fighters, but that’s all I was doing - talking about it.

I’m fine with leaving them in Java.  I don’t know how I got the numbers I did when doing ANZ turn, thinking that there was close to 50/50 in Z33, but that’s part of the game.  I must have screwed up the battle calculation and now I’m going to pay for it.

Now don’t go and get all lucky on me

[allweneedislove]

@Gamerman01:

Now don’t go and get all lucky on me

sorry i cant help you there. i plan on getting very lucky dice here.

[allweneedislove]

first round i scored exactly average. but i am sure your defense dice are going to suck.

my subs got 1 hit and i took the liberty of tipping your battleship.
your stupid sub captain got lucky and hit

i have scored 8 hits and need your ools
