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

[Guest]

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!

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

[Guest]

as a side note I got alot of hits with my subs, so you may not have had the choice to not tip your carriers

[Stalingradski]

There is no blame for you - I just haven’t played with big battles like this before when it comes to OOL. I usually learn my lessons the hard way, and honestly, I’m shocked I walked away from that last battle with my capital ships.

Good point re: subs…

Also, I think both battles turned out to be odds - I ended the first battle with 13 remaining which was dead on, and you jikked two carriers, a destroyer, and two fighters with your smaller fleet… not bad in the big picture.

The waves of fleet you’re sending at me are impressive.

[Guest]

It’s like the last game we played and you killed all my transports lol I’ll remeber that med move forever. I figured I had to shake it up in the pacific, I was progressively losing ground economically
