Bold, I thought you were going to play me next?

[Karl7]

well, this is all interesting but are you, BOLD, scrambling?

[boldfresh]

there will be no scramble karl

[boldfresh]

the pacific mistake simply comes down to this karl - i had you absolutely dead in this game but you are such a darn nice guy that i let up and then WHAM the dice came in right behind and well… game over.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

Looks like some of Seththenewb’s luck rolled over into this game on my side….

But the dice were too good!  I had too many planes left over and have to lose a cv now…  :oops:

[boldfresh]

hey karl - i don’t think you can make that attack.

[Karl7]

really?

I had 8ftrs and 8 tacbs – 6 ftrs from 6, 2ftrs and 2 tacbs from Japan – all can land off wake, there are enough carries to land them.  I then put in 6 tacbs from the other fleet meaning at least 3 cvs had to move into Hawaii technically.  So I had more then enough cvs to land everything.

[Karl7]

The tripple A engine had no issues with it.

[Karl7]

I went back and did a count with the carriers – 3 set to go to Haw if need (only 1 had to) and then 5 set to move off wake to land the 10 air that flew out of Japan…

is there something else?

[boldfresh]

ah yep you’re right.  missed that when doing the turn so fast.  but i think i needed the air down in NZ to stop sydney so if there was a solution i didn’t reach it in the 10 min i allowed myself for the move.   :lol:  nicely done.  giving you that big fleet kill in the pacific was the game.

[Karl7]

You going to attack my fleet?  I think that’s your only choice now.

[boldfresh]

ok, sure, might as well run that last battle before giving you another win.  :wink:  can’t get much there now.  if i had not parked the fleet in hawaii, i’d have been alright.  miscounting the air in the pacific is a mistake i made twice now in this game…  deadly no having the time needed to be a little more careful but hey, that’s just the way it is right now.

[Karl7]

wait, did you not conced?

[Karl7]

the odds are I think are 70% in my favor… or more

[boldfresh]

i’m retracting my concession until this battle is over.  i will concede the moment you survive enough units.

[Karl7]

For anyone following – Bold conceded after we rolled one last battle while the site was down.
