14L NT Arathorn (Axis) vs Wheatbeer (Allies +19)

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be any dispute later since I’d rather have a loss in 2013 and rather have a win in 2014, as would many players I imagine  :lol:

No rush … this open is pretty neat for a Barbarossa-centric open. I hate the G1 attack style Barbarossa, but I like this.

[arathorn]

Did you like it from the pow of Germany or Russia?
;)

[wheatbeer]

From the POV of Germany. Sending mobile east rather than to Paris as is conventional should make a big difference.

Even though the UK retains more strength and has some flexibility in the opening Buy, they have no choice but to be the hero in Europe and fast.

[seth4god]

He used the same German opening in both our games. Let’s see how we both respond and where he goes from here.

[wheatbeer]

Heheh, well hopefully one of us wins, or at least loses in an educational way  :lol:

[seth4god]

Well, in that case. I hope I’m the one that wins and you’re the one that loses in an educational way.  :-P

[arathorn]

I’m going to use my LL reroll in 97.

A:

Sub
Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 01@2: (5)surprise attack
The rest = 2 hits if sub misses - but if sub hits, one of your units will die.

That determines if you roll @3 or @4 in defense.

[arathorn]

Defense

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 11@4: (3)

[wheatbeer]

Why are you rolling @4 for defense?

[arathorn]

Because you have a sub and cruiser. Since I have a dd, they roll together.

[wheatbeer]

I am very confused here.

There is no dd in SZ97 on either side.

Also, I sent in way more firepower than 2 low luck hits.

Are you looking at a different game?
