Need to know which 4 fighters, thanks

[JDOW]

3 Anz, 1 US

[JDOW]

And ty for asking, appreciate how you moderate such battles!

[arathorn]

And I appreciate how you’re getting your good dice against Gamer and not me.

Though I would gladly give up my good dice against you to have more balanced dice against Seth.

[gamerman01]

@JDOW:

Experience is the best teacher

[JDOW]

Battle still in progress, so lets wait.

And yeah @Ara: You have an open bill with seth. I followed your game and after the devastating Axis victory on Carolines I thought the Allies are thrashed and that was one of the biggest comebacks I have seen so far.

[gamerman01]

Allies round 3Rolls: 1@2 1@4 8@4; Total Hits: 51@2: (4)1@4: (1)8@4: (3, 6, 6, 1, 5, 6, 2, 4)

[arathorn]

I am not talking about that game, though that was bad. I am talking about the game I have against him now.
In every small battle, he hits, I miss - constantly. It has drained my resources annoyingly. But it’s still early game.

His comeback was due to playing well, but check the results when I attacked Moscow - that wasn’t pretty at all :-/

[JDOW]

@Ara: I know, I just meant that from this game the open bill comes from which makes you eager not to lose twice against him and thus wanting good dices are at least no bad dices so bad vs him :)

In that you are completely correct!

[gamerman01]

This is very tight.  It’s going to come down to the next dice

I lose 3 fighters and 2 tacs

1 sub, 1 fighter, 1 tac, 2 dmgd battleships vs.
1 dmged battleship, 4 USA fighters

Come on, subRolls: 1@2 1@3 3@4; Total Hits: 21@2: (6)1@3: (4)3@4: (4, 2, 5)

[gamerman01]

Uh oh again
What do you lose?

[JDOW]

Lose 2 Fighters please.

[gamerman01]

As you wish
Rolls: 1@4 4@4; Total Hits: 41@4: (2)4@4: (3, 6, 3, 3)

[arathorn]

ouch

[gamerman01]

And it’s not over yet.  There’s probably 1 last ouch for me

First to hit winsRolls: 10@2; Total Hits: 510@2: (2, 4, 4, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 6, 1)Rolls: 10@4; Total Hits: 910@4: (2, 3, 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 4, 1)

[gamerman01]

Gotcha.

So 2 bonus USA fighters survive and I lose 2 loaded transports, and can’t take over Java which is a 13 IPC per turn swing.  Still, that is not too bad for Japan…  maybe

[gamerman01]

We…ll

Shouldn’t be 13 IPC swing the first turn, I do have a sub to convoy raid you  :-D

[gamerman01]

Forgot something.

My sub did sink you in the very next round, but your 2 fighters need to fire at my transports
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 02@4: (5, 5)

[gamerman01]

You’re going to have to come get them, at least  :-P

This creates an interesting scenario.

I have 2 transports and 1 sub vs. 2 fighters
If I retreat, the sub has to retreat also.  But I can submerge if I go another round.  That’s what I’ll do.

Sub submerges, and USA fighters try again
Rolls: 2@4; Total Hits: 22@4: (3, 2)
