13/14L wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +10)

[gamerman01]

Now there’s some good luck for me, although 0/3 on AA was a very nice miss for you
I figure I was due for 2 or 3 AA hits there  :wink:
I should probably do the audit in case it helps keep me from wanting to keep commenting on the dice  :-P

Anyway, those hits with 2’s are a welcome sight - 3/4 after so many misses

[gamerman01]

Oh, and I forgot to acknowledge lucky maximum convoy damage there - unintentional omission

@Gamerman01:

Bam, bam, bam, perfect!

:wink:  :-)

it takes a whole lot of perfect to take down the gamer man

[gamerman01]

Finished the “summary” of dice results last night but have not reviewed and analyzed it yet.
You can draw your own conclusions.
Bold, you will enjoy at least looking at the G1.  I think you (Boldfresh) would have to sell your soul to get a G1 like that  :-)

Dice summary Wheat v Gamer L14.1.xls

[gamerman01]

Maybe when I get another chunk of time I’ll actually play the R8 for ya Wheat  :-P
Tonight?  Not sure.

Anyway, just compiling it I don’t think it’s as lopsided as it felt.  I had at least average and maybe a bit better luck on my turns.  What’s remarkable is I don’t think Wheat has ever lost a battle on offense, or really suffered at all on offense  :-)

YET  :evil:

[wheatbeer]

I pretty much agree. Axis defense is roughly average, but Allied defense has been consistently poor.

And I must agree with your “YET :evil:” since a significant Axis defeat in Russia, Hawaii, Australia, or Cairo/Mideast could easily be the deciding factor.

[gamerman01]

You have been a class act, Wheatbeer

Thanks for putting up with some long delays and my dice complaining.  I try to not be irritating, but I’m sure I have been at times

[wheatbeer]

Dice complaints aren’t really a pet peeve of mine. I only get irritated if my opponent performs above average but blames dice anyways because they never run battle sims :lol:

Plus I complain about dice more than I post :lol: Often accompanied by flailing arms and shouting an obscenity here and there.

[gamerman01]

Alright, high time I had a look at the situation here…

[gamerman01]

Italian fighter in 97 is on German carrier

Which carrier is the German fighter on?

[wheatbeer]

The German fighter is meant to be on German carrier, sorry didn’t think about that issue.

[gamerman01]

NP, I’ll add it to the game notes so we remember
