Wittmann (Allies) + Rus bmb vs Gargantua (Axis) G40

[Gargantua]

I posted twice so we could see dice results…

We ended up in a dead heat of 18 on 18 and I thought I might lose the fight until this round of combat…

Germans roll dice for 9 armour, 3 artilleries, 1 bomber, 1 fighter and 4 tactical_bombers in United Kingdom, round 3 :  16/18 hits

British roll dice for 3 fighters, 12 infantry and 3 mech_infantrys in United Kingdom, round 3 :  4/18 hits

Wow…

[Gargantua]

Well the RAF deserves a medal, your fighters hit on 7/8 dice.

However… even if they’d scrambled they still would have died. And I’d be adding 7+ units back to the board in london!

[Witt]

Thank you for the figures.
You had one Ft protecting your fleet then?
I would not have scrambled.
Well done.
Will do Russia in 8 hours.
Cannot tell, but can I turn this around?
How many turns can I survive without the UK?
Can’t be more than 3.

[Gargantua]

I’ve lost some games even with UK in tow.  And I’ve also won some games even where I’ve lost UK.

Don’t - get me wrong.  It’s a big blow.  But it’s not a sure game ender.

As for my fleet - I had 2 fighters. :)

[Witt]

I can see I should have taken Scotland, not strafed it. You are using the Airbase. Did not see that coming.
My US fleet cannot park off Gib as you own Algeria. I did wonder why you went that way with Italy’s ground forces.
But if you are going after US you cannot retake Scandinavia.

You are giving me a headache!

Don’t think you’re going to scramble at phillipines.

If I’m wrong, please feel free to reroll.

:(

I am having one of the worst dice games in recent memory here!

Yunnan was bollocks.

Going to keep pushing for the win here… but it’s going to be tough - especially after the massacre in Romania.  Keep throwing your best at me, it seems to be working!

[Witt]

Have tried to analyse it from a hard chair at work and it does seem like you took heavy losses.
I am not sure I can do much in the Pacific, as I want England back.
Will count up later, but do you only have(only!) 14 Air, from 22 starting?
I lost 7 ships. Am unhappy about the UK Cruiser as blocker, but I thought you could have attacked India if I hadn’t have done as I did.
Not sure how I could continue with the loss of two capitals so early(and the 20IPCs).
Is definitely one of my best games.

[Gargantua]

Well let’s keep hacking at it. Maybe your best is as good as mine and we get a great game out of it!
