14L G40 Wheat (allies +16) v Bold - game 3

[boldfresh]

ouch that was brutal.

[wheatbeer]

For who?

There was a 49.5% chance that the Allies performed that well or better.

That seems remarkably average.

[wheatbeer]

I did one and a half infantry better than average based on expected losses … but in a battle this scale it’s a very minor swing.

[boldfresh]

i don’t mean brutal by odds i mean brutal by the number of men that you mercilessly killed and that it would have been very nice for me to catch a much needed break there.  :-)

[wheatbeer]

After Rome falling … I can’t have that  :lol:

[wheatbeer]

After F22 I guess we should rebuild the map … you wanna roll a die to determine who recreates it and who double-checks it?

[boldfresh]

sure we can roll a die.

[boldfresh]

why don’t you roll it after you post F22.  If you lose you can just go right into your map work…  :wink:

[wheatbeer]

Will do

Right now I am still muddling through what the UK will actually do before finalizing US NCM.
