Z98 against your French fleet

I scored 2 hits.  You have 2 destroyers and 1 cruiser.  I have 2 subs and 2 fighters.

What do you lose/keep?

[Guest]

take the destroyers I think I’m gonna get 3 hits anyways  :wink:

[boldfresh]

Rolls: 2@2 1@3; Total Hits: 12@2: (4, 4)1@3: (2)

[boldfresh]

that roll was meaningless, just wanted to show you how many hits I would have gotten…  :wink:

[gamerman01]

@snake11eyes:

You need to get 0 hits for about the next 10 battles to even things up with the dice

[gamerman01]

“only” 2 hits

good grief, this is absolutely brutal

[gamerman01]

Oops, forgot I need to keep going to keep the French from breaking up my destroyer block.

Rolled Bryansk and Alexandria and won both without loss  :-o
but I don’t believe those are related.

Please allow - the delay waiting for your casualty choice since last night caused me to forget the importance of wiping the French.  Thanks.

No problem at all - you didn’t change your buy after rolling consequential combat dice.  No explanation needed - thanks.

@Boldfresh:

Thanks, it’s quite a cursed streak, but it’ll probably all be good in the end.

I think I’ve got the Europe win.  But this is actually my first time I’ve got to play Germany for 6 rounds, so this is pretty much a maiden voyage at this point :)

It’s gonna be great to take over Moscow…. Caucasus… the Middle east… I’m gonna be rich!

Unless Snake has some serious tactics up his sleeve that I’m not seeing
