scramble/kamikaze SZ6?

My original plan was a little misconceived (didn’t realize that SZ17 was block-able until after Italy went) … but ah well. My odds on Tokyo are still better than my overall odds playing conservative.

[arathorn]

No scramble.

But Fire 4 kamikazes!!! 2 on each :)

The plan was almost a success - you almost caught me off guard ;)

[arathorn]

Let me know when you start rolling ;)

@wheatbeer:

Japanese roll dice for 5 fighters, 10 infantry and 2 tactical_bombers in Japan, round 2 :  12/17 hits

All of your air hit plus half your infantry. Not even remotely close :lol:

[arathorn]

You scared the crap out of me - I ran the battle in local a couple of times - and you had like 10-12 hits first round every time. You won more than half of the battles I ran in local!

[wheatbeer]

Hehehe, well, the 14% chance isn’t that unlikely. I was surprised you left me that much wiggle room even.

Interested in another match?

[arathorn]

I started playing on autopilot, and I got surprised by the move since I was so focused on Russia.

Always ready for another game ;)

I’ll give you +17 for Allies this time ;)

[wheatbeer]

I’ll give you +18

[wheatbeer]

(I assume this is 1 unit per territory/sz right?)

[arathorn]

Yes, one per territory.

Would you be happy if I said yes to 18 for allies?

[wheatbeer]

Hehehe, of course.

[wheatbeer]

I still believe the Allies need this kind of bid anyways … though the rest of the league doesn’t agree.

[arathorn]

Then I’ll let you have allies at +19 ;)

[arathorn]

@wheatbeer:

I still believe the Allies need this kind of bid anyways … though the rest of the league doesn’t agree.

I agree - unless the allies player is an expert allies player like gamerman or ErwinRommel

[wheatbeer]

I’ll offer you +20

[arathorn]

+21

I’m generous today ;)

[wheatbeer]

Normally, I might stop, but I have been playing (and losing) as the Allies a lot lately.

+22
