[Witt]

OOl in Kansu please. I got two hits. Do you want to lose the Bomber or a Ft?

[Witt]

I meant an Inf or a Bomber.
I attacked with 10 Inf. you have AA, 2Inf 2 Bombers and 3 Tacs.

I do not know how to save the page. I will try.
I will have to finish the battle and turn off the PC soon.

[variance]

infantry first

[variance]

OK you’re attacking 1 AA, 2 ing, 3 tacs, 2 bombers with 8 inf, 2 mechs.

OOL should be AA, Infantry, tacs, bombers

[Witt]

We both got 4 hits in R2. I saved you the two Tacs, instead of two Bombers.
Is that ok?
I now have 2 Mech and 2 Inf. you have 2 Tacs.
are you happy with that? Seems foolish to keep two bombers, if I have 4 units left.

I retreated as you had two Tacs left. If you wanted two Bombers instead, or even one and one Tac, I would have continued fighting.
If that is the case, please roll another round for us on the forum. I so not know how to do that.

Is my mum’s birthday tomorrow and we are feeding them and my brother. I might not be able to post for a few days.
Merry Christmas.

[variance]

OK.  I’ll keep the tacs.

just so you know, to roll forum dice, you type in commands like the example below but with colons ( : ) instead of question marks ( ? ).  For example to attack 2 infantry with 1 infnatry and a bomber you would type

attacker ?aaa 1@1, 1@4?
defender ?aaa 2@2?

if you replace the ?2 with :s you get
attackerRolls: 1@1, 1@4; Total Hits: 11@1,: (1)1@4: (5)
defenderRolls: 2@2; Total Hits: 22@2: (1, 1)

After what happened in Ukraine i think this game is over.

Morning. I think this could be a winning strategy, but admit I have been lucky when I needed to. I can see the merits to it, as China and Anzac cannot leave their starting positions to help with their otherwise large incomes. South Africa and losing UK income was a worry too.
I had to choose between defending that and building up to drop in Normandy. I thought I had messed up by ignoring SA for that one turn. Without SA it would be quite difficult.
That said does Germany have enough units to start with to take Moscow, seeing as from G3-4 on they need to have 15 units in W Germany as a deterrent to my grabbing and keeping Paris.

Thank you for letting me see this develop. It did have me worried, but I think I am over the worst now.
We can play on, if you wish.
In Jan we can play another, non League, if you want to give it another try. You did observe that on G2 you would have mixed it up a bit unit wise. That would help.

[Witt]

Did you forget you could build in Iraq. Please tell me what to place, unless you are really giving up. I will not do my go.

yeah I think I’ll let this one go.  I`ll post the result.  gg wittmann
