G40 elevenjerk (axis) vs stalingradski (allies +9)

[elevenjerk]

makes perfect sense!!!  Usually the first round of rolling in big battles ends up being the deciding round since it can swing the battle so much.  I will be sure to wait.  If I hit above odds (unlikely) then take bombers?

[Stalingradski]

I think I’ve decided - keep the bombers round one regardless of what happens, then before you roll the second round, talk to me.

Please lose french infantry first, UK next.

[elevenjerk]

Got it!!  Only thing left is to do your turn:)

[Stalingradski]

Nice… I had no idea it was my turn…  :oops:

[Stalingradski]

There, that’s better…  :-D

[elevenjerk]

First round done.  I only got 17 hits which was under odds (surprise, surprise :-D)

Kept your bombers and lost your frenchies.

You killed everything smaller than tanks. I rolled german second round and got 12 hits.  What you want to do?

[elevenjerk]

Gotta say, I have just been waiting for a break here in two games and it just hasn’t come :-(  (sob,sob)

The 4 out of 7 2’s you rolled with your destroyers seems pretty detrimental right now.  I had a couple rounds in Japan where you missed a lot so I just knew that when those destroyers were sitting there they had their scopes ready for the Germans since it was such an important move :-D

Oh well… what can you do but bitch and whine like I am right now :-D

[Stalingradski]

Time to lose the bombers, I’ll play defense by the numbers… now it’s my turn to cry!  :cry:

29 hits in two rounds sounds well above average to me… I had this as a win for me, but it sounds like you’re going to clear me out.

[Stalingradski]

I take it back - keep the bombers for another turn, and let me know what happens.

I’d like to lose infantry followed by artillery followed by mech, then we’ll talk  :-D

[elevenjerk]

I was supposed to get 18 - 19 hits on my first turn and 13 - 14 on my second.  I think you hit slightly under odds as well.  I didn’t expect to win but was just hoping I could catch a break and I had to stop the virus that is the uk/us.

I got 8 hits.  That takes out all your ground units and 3 planes.  You should get 7 hits which would take out all but 5 bombers.  I assume you want the bombers to get taken out but I will wait to hear from you.  I got a busy day tomorrow so if you don’t respond before 6:30 pacific (9:30) I won’t be home till late afternoon!

[Stalingradski]

Yes - at this point I’ll take out the US bombers… have to keep the fighters as long as possible.

[Stalingradski]

I’m having trouble posting - I changed web browsers and it knocked the crap out of everything I do. Good times.

I did the US turn - we might end up having to finish this game posting the game back and forth to each other manually on this site, without turn reports.

[Stalingradski]

Here’s the file - I’ll work on the problem. It seems to be a password issue.
