Assuming you allow late walkin to Tambov, as the only combat was vs. 1 sub in Z93 - thanks

[JDOW]

Yes, np!

[JDOW]

Oops, I also forgot a move. Forgot to move the US sub to sz37. I can just promise to you it was my intention before ANY dice was rolled, I simply forgot it as the move was so complicated. please let me know if you allow.

[JDOW]

Oh dear, I just realize that this could have influenced your IT naval placement in India. So my stupid mistake to miss that convoy shot, just bad! :/

[JDOW]

Man, disappointing to always miss a little detail.

In case this would have influenced your IT placement and you disallow, no problem. Could I then move to 44 which is out of range of India? There is the 3 options. 1-2 require your leniency, 3 is legal in any case.

1. My preferred scenario is US sub in 37 and Anzac sub in 44
2. If US subs influences IT placement the second best option is US in 43, Anzac in 44
3. If the US sub won’t move then could you please edit the Anzac sub to 44?

Sorry for the confusion.

[JDOW]

I can move the Anzac sub my self anyway, so only your decision about the US sub to either sz 37, or 43 or it stays at 54.

[JDOW]

Oh dear, another double hit in Java.
Since UK another 4/4 @2. :(

Little Edit, not I forgot the Anzac SUB, OMG!

Please check the posts above regarding the US sub. thanks and sorry again!

@JDOW:

Oh dear, another double hit in Java.
Since UK another 4/4 @2. :(

Now there’s a break.  I thought I was going to lose an island.  I guess you were right about Aleuts double hit, only delayed a turn

I will allow USA sub to 43

[JDOW]

Thanks about the sub.

Yeah, there was the break. I was of course also a bid greedy to attack Java instead of Borneo or celebs so I took a risk in order to kill Japanese units. Not sure if this was a wise decision but I still think I need some “good moves” instead of standard moves to at least create any serious pressure on Japan. But with this payroll it will now never happen.

[gamerman01]

Doing combat move on Iceland after clicking “done” on combat move…

So will roll here
Rolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 12@2: (4, 1)Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 11@2: (2)

[gamerman01]

Oops, that was a mistake
I should have established retreat routes through Tambov and Novo, but I didn’t.
I guess I’ll just be happy with the great dice and kill off that UK mech

I made a little analysis of the dices in our game as I already stated the perception that I ran great in the 2 big battles and worse in average in the smaller battles.
I excluded the G1 sea battles, France, the Taranto and the counter attack in sz97. I cannot guarantee that I accidentally including a battle which in fact was rolled in the forum. But should not be much, hopefully zero.
I looked only in the defense rolls. some numbers:

Allies rolled a total of 279 defense shots with a total defense value of 564. They scored 81 hits while 94 were expected
Axis rolled a total of 230 defense shots with a total defense value of 457. They scored 73 hits while 76 were expected

So on a superficial level my perception was not completely off. However some things to consider

• Attack rolls not included. IT12 for example looks normal with 4/13@2 but in fact hat the Greece debacle. SO the overall luck can not be determined by this analysis.

• There was an interesting trend. The Axis started very bad and had ~25% @2 in the middle of the game. That enhanced my perception. The bad dice were of course not acknowledge but just recorded as “normal” and then the Axis dice started catching up while Allies dice got worse (were 32%@2 in the middle of the game and then dropped to 29%)
  –> One needs to be aware of trends within a game which can be overrated while the overall distribution might still be even

• Such an analysis does not weight the importance of single battles and single dice. Such as “killing air” dice or those who decide to capture a territory or not or to kill a blocker or not.
