13L G40 JWW axis v Wheatbeer (+10) allies

[666]

seems risky?...scramble the three fgt’s, lose the ita first then the german…

if you clear the fgt’s can I select the N.ITA loses? i might want to keep the aa

[666]

i expect a wiff from your attacking CV, 2 dd & fgt and then a clean sweep with my three fgt’s.

[wheatbeer]

There’s a fair chance of that  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

mutual annihilation, but the amph assault goes forward

Italian aa hit twice  :|, usa rolls 3 hits … keep the aa?

[wheatbeer]

The double aa hit has really screwed my odds on an already chance-y endeavor.

[wheatbeer]

attaching map in case you want to refer to it

[666]

keep the aa

[wheatbeer]

3 more hits, keep the aa still?

[666]

can’t believe how close my fgt’s came to turning away the american amphib attack

[666]

@wheatbeer:

3 more hits, keep the aa still?

yes, keep the aa,two hits for all my inf? WTF

[wheatbeer]

America retreats with 3 strats surviving after round 3

NITA is left with 3 German inf, 1 Italian inf, 1 Italian art, 1 Italian aa

Do you want to exchange Germans for Italians? Or do you want to keep Germans alive?

[wheatbeer]

@JWW:

yes, keep the aa,two hits for all my inf? WTF

The US had a 75% chance to capture NITA, I should be the one complaining  :lol:

I can change on the italy turn if I can….this was so close to being a disaster for the allies… :x

yes but only 59% of clearing the sea zone…

[wheatbeer]

With a default (non-ideal) OOL dskelly gives a 59% odds of a US “win”. Dskelly doesn’t count mutual annihilation as a win though.

If you change the OOL to sink the carrier first (like I did), the odds that I clear the SZ are 71%

dskelly?

Agreed, it was risky though, IMO….I typically don’t take enough risks, which at times creates problems for me…
