13L G40 Stalingradski (Axis) vs snake11eyes (Allies +14) Game 3!

[Stalingradski]

How many subs do you have? And how much other stuff do you have, and what do I have left?

I have to be very careful about losing my final destroyer.

The anxiety that you hear from me is that I have no concept of how much you have left, so the battle feels dire to me…

Snake - I apologize for complaining about dice, but I was completely in the dark and it felt like a bad battle to me, not knowing what I was hitting in the other direction. It went exactly by odds, with kamis added in.

I thought you were following on your end, my apologies for not giving better updates, you smashed my guys I was just trying to dwindle your fleet, you finished above odds as well.

I’ll need scramble options for z95 for my brits turn

[Stalingradski]

No scramble in 95… how did the US subs get to 97? I thought I had it sealed off… did I miss an air attack on the destroyer in SZ96? Or did I just dream I had one?  :-D

[Guest]

Opened it up with a russian bomber, very sneaky :evil: lol

[Stalingradski]

Oh man - that was nice!!  :cry:

I didn’t notice - that Russian bomber did it’s job and then some. Lesson learned!

[Stalingradski]

The first battle was a huge lesson for me in online play, and OOL.

If I was face to face with someone, and saw how the battle was shaking out, I never would have tipped carriers before losing fighters. Instead of the situation I’m in, I’d have 2 loaded carriers defending the zone, and a couple fighters scrambling.

Instead, you’ll be taking over initiative in the pacific, in a theater I have been controlling impressively, because I had no idea how the battle was going. It is a tough way to learn my lesson, but I’ve learned it: ask your opponent to spell out losses on both sides, every turn.

[Stalingradski]

I wrote too soon.

[Guest]

Ya again I thought you were following along on your side, when I’m doing a big battle(typically pacific fleet) I have a local game going and edit the results to have a first hand look of the battle as it progresses
