14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Karl7 (Allies +15) game 2

[Karl7]

straight up combat value

[wheatbeer]

Allies performed extremely well (Japan down to 1 tact, 4 strat) … but I have 2 rerolls left, and this will be one of them.

[wheatbeer]

Scratch that, I mean, I have 1 reroll left, and this will be it.

Though the rerolls reset at that point and we’ll both have 1 back.

[Karl7]

@wheatbeer:

doh!  Was this the lucky break I needed that will now be taken away?  :cry:

[wheatbeer]

I do feel bad about that … but I’ve already let the Allies take a reroll when they had none, plus a freebie reroll  :|

SZ20

A 14 fig, 9 tact, 4 strat
14@3 13@4 = 42 + 52 = 94 = 15r4

Rolls: 1@4; Total Hits: 01@4: (5)

D 3 dd, 4 carrier, 3 cru, 1 tact, 7 fig, 2 bb, 2 tt
7@2 4@3 9@4 = 14 + 12 + 36 = 62 = 10r2

Rolls: 1@2; Total Hits: 11@2: (1)

[wheatbeer]

Axis lose 8 fig, 3 tact
Allies lose 3 dd, 4 carrier, 1 tact, 1 cru and damage both BB

SZ20 r2

A 6 fig, 6 tact, 4 strat
6@3 10@4 = 58 = 9r4

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

D 2 cru, 7 fig, 2 damaged bb, 2 tt
2@3 9@4 = 42 = 7r0

no remainder

[wheatbeer]

Axis lose 3 fig, 4 tact
Allies lose 2 cru, 7 fig, 1 damaged bb

SZ20r3

A 3 fig, 2 tact, 4 strat = overkill

D 1 damaged bb

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

[Karl7]

yeah, I am not sure if I like the LL or not.  I had to use mine (many times!) to correct dumb little battle that went wildly wrong.  I guess maybe I should hold on to them for just big battles and to stop you from getting more.

[wheatbeer]

Only ended up saving 3 planes since the Allies hit their rolls at least.

Japan clears SZ20 with 2 fig, 2 tact, 4 strat surviving.

[wheatbeer]

Can’t use EDIT mode to add planes at this stage.

Surviving fighters should have 3 movement points (originating from PHI) for NCM while surviving tacts should have only 2 movement points for NCM (originating from SZ37).

[wheatbeer]

Allies had good luck in Guam as well (3% most favorable Allied outcome … Japan failed to clear your 4 defending strats with 2 fig, 2 tact).

I need every bit I can!

These 3 planes are the extra survivors due to the LL reroll.

Since we are both even on rerolls, we can stop that system now if you would prefer.
