14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

[boldfresh]

@wheatbeer:

That’s not at all what I expected.

Nor I!

[boldfresh]

Very difficult to hold off a 100ipc per turn japan without some heavy lifting from usa.  Your 9 trn build may have caused me to overcompensate.

[wheatbeer]

If we were to use a LL reroll on a SBR, would it apply through each stage of rolls (dogfight, facility aa, and damage) or would we be limited to picking just one of those stages?

[boldfresh]

Dogfight separate for sure.  I think aa and bombing can go together.

[boldfresh]

Cant use ll rerloll if it is possible for ll rwroll to go as badly as original roll.

[wheatbeer]

@Boldfresh:

Cant use ll rerloll if it is possible for ll rwroll to go as badly as original roll.

That’s sensible. Seperating dogfight from aa/bombing also seems good.

Yeah ll reroll is meant for results way off average.  If 68aa shots are fired with 2 hits, obviously a ll reroll cannot be used for example.

[wheatbeer]

You meant 8 aa shots right?

[boldfresh]

Yeah 8… lol
