13L G40 Gamerman01(allies+10) vs seththenewb(axis) take 2

[gamerman01]

Wow, a blistering first round from the Ruskies!
I will definitely take off your AAA first…

[boldfresh]

finally the russians come through on a big stack attack!

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

finally the russians come through on a big stack attack!

i’m still cursed on them though.  :|

[gamerman01]

Seth got an above average retort, but not as great as mine!

I got upper 5% after 4 AAA misses, then he reels off an upper 18%er  :-P

But even with that good retort, I have 99% odds just like that  :mrgreen:

[gamerman01]

@Boldfresh:

finally the russians come through on a big stack attack!

Finally.  Thing is, it’s a long ways from Moscow.  I think they get too nervous/stressed when it’s closer to Moscow…
But I will so take it!

[gamerman01]

Oh my goodness, my 2nd round was below average, but the German’s was abyssmal.
Oh my, and after Seth had his hopes up and was talking like he might beat me.  This appears to be decisive…  :-D

[gamerman01]

Above average 3rd round for Russians, but scathing German response.
3 tanks remain…. Time to retreat?

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

Time to retreat?

DEFINITELY
Wow, dice really blessed that hit and run
Sorry about the disappointment, Seth.  You’ve got a fight on your hands now.

[seth4god]

Need scramble orders for Guam as well as intercept orders for India.

Ya, you got a lucky in that strafe. I’m glad I kept the tanks, but odds were you’d win but it would cost you more than you’d kill. Ah well, I’m not too worried. You’re up 6 infantry worth of stuff, but you’ve also bought some heavier equipment, so we’ll see how that front developes.

[gamerman01]

I know.  You still have a lot of air power and quite a few troops already on the board that can move to the front quickly

[seth4god]

So . . . .  intercept and/or scramble?  :-P

[gamerman01]

Yeah, yeah, give me a couple seconds, man!

[gamerman01]

OK, 5 minutes.  Had to review your move while I was at it.

Intercept in India, scramble from Guam

@Gamerman01:

Yeah, yeah, give me a couple seconds, man!

You’re the one complaining about slow play there speedy gonzalez.  :wink:

Man some tough D there until it got to the mainland china, excluding the aa run which was pretty pathetic imo. Still I don’t think I made a huge gaffe in my Japanese deployment this time around, although I’m sure you’ll show me differently with US if I did.  8-)

It was pretty pathetic, but LONG OVERDUE!!  You have been well below 1/6 losses to AA fire going back to game 1  :-)  Be happy an interceptor didn’t get ya!  :-D

Wow, that was a poor showing in the Phillipines now that I look at it.
