What do you remove?

[gamerman01]

Here’s a file, if you like.  Remember the bomber is in 97, not South Italy

[JDOW]

Well, does not make too much of a difference now, the cruiser dies last obv. now to maximize the damage :)

1. How would you have made the casualty choice round 1?
2. What does the engine do wrong?

[gamerman01]

OK, will finish up the Italy turn then

1. I was going to take off destroyer, cruiser, fighter, but I wasn’t considering carrier, fighter, fighter (I have taken it off in that order before, for myself)
2. It rolls the submarine first and then requires a casualty choice before rolling the rest of the attack dice.  You had a destroyer, so all the attack dice should be rolled before a casualty choice has to be made

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

I am getting lucky so far, including the double hit by the Italians on UK1 that helped big time

I think if you could choose the overall dice we had so far, you would still choose the dice I had, right?. So no luck on your side but just equating the bottom 10% battle you had in Scotland imo. (the only thing what sucks a bit is the big amount of troops in France^^)

[gamerman01]

Well, we’ll see what this defense roll is.  If you hit me 3 times it will be very bad for me.
111 was very bad for me, yes, but the way this is going it looks like overall game luck through round 1 may be close to average

Rolls: 2@2 1@3; Total Hits: 12@2: (2, 6)1@3: (6)

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

1. I was going to take off destroyer, cruiser, fighter, but I wasn’t considering carrier, fighter, fighter (I have taken it off in that order before, for myself)

I need to ask why:
Your choice leaves you with 3 hitpoints and 6 attack power while my choice leaves me with 3 hits and 7 attack (plus higher variance as I have higher max damage)

Let my cruiser hit now and I can sleep well:)

[gamerman01]

Sorry for the delay - you are probably up late

Tough decision - I am removing the bomber to maximize my defense of my sea zones for UK2

Rolls: 3@3; Total Hits: 23@3: (1, 1, 4)Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 01@3: (5)

[gamerman01]

Well, I feel very fortunate because that could have been disastrous and the Germans would have to decide whether to clean up

I’m not saying DD, CA, FTR was optimum.  I’m still not really used to having 2 hit carriers after all those dozens of games of AA50.  Good thing you were online

[JDOW]

the thing is: Once you had dices you start getting greedy, expecting miracles every turn^^

I agree we are now close to average, however German losing 4 Air including a bomber G1 leaves it imo a bit below average for the axis.

And as I currently play 3 games in parallel one becomes less sensitive to single battles.

I am having second thoughts about fighter to Alexandria…

Please edit 1 fighter from WGer to Alex (1 fighter flies from South France to South Italy instead of to West Germany, and fighter from 96 to Alex instead of South Italy)

[gamerman01]

Here you go

[JDOW]

0 Hits :(

[JDOW]

Frustrating day, 3 games and in all games my opponents had great dice and my dice sucked :-/

[gamerman01]

You got a hit somewhere in France….  :lol:
Indeed, I feel very fortunate once again, and I dare say overall game luck has swung my way now!
And I need it, because I am quite inexperienced with the bad guys!

[gamerman01]

At least your hit(s) didn’t come in Z113 where they would have no effect!  :-D
