Alright, good to go. UK lost a couple planes on the offense - rough round. Italy got lucky in 97. Though I guess I can’t complain as luck was with me last round in 110.
Italy’s pretty rich. Haven’t seen an Italy this strong in OOB in a long time. :)

@JWW:
can’t believe what I’ve lost trying to take out your german units in finland…I think I hit a “3” out of a dozen dice for the aussies.
I need some dice god payback here!
Europe dice this round become irrelevant now, I could return to Carolines with everything and try to take advantage of those dice in Europe, but I think I will try to finish this in J17.

I will need your OOL in Victoria, I would say max defense except the US artillery last, correct?
I will attack with 5 fighters and 1 mech to the Capital, and 35 planes vs your 33 pieces at Victoria. -
May be one less fighter in the Capital.

I will attack with 5 fighters and 1 mech to the Capital, and 35 planes vs your 33 pieces at Victoria.41 to 33 huh. That’s well within the range of the defense winning. One bad first round roll……
-
Yeah, I mentioned a couple of rounds ago, that I would need Marti, when I planned this. However, given JWW is winning this game, having a superior force with options to win here means hope…
If dice are on average, I should easily take the Capital, and I should hit 4 more pieces than the defenders in Victoria in round 1, regardless of using 4 or 5 fighters vs Queensland. But it is true that Marti variance is big, so still anything can happen.

I will attack with 5 fighters and 1 mech to the Capital, and 35 planes vs your 33 pieces at Victoria.Since you need to attack New South Wales first, as it is an amphib attack, if you take that territory, then yes MAX D, w/the exception of keeping USA art as the last unit.
If you fail to take NSW, then simply MAX D.

Very good game Jim. Still your Allies 1 IPC above Axis after this round.
I had around 80%-90% chances to win with this attack, and dice were even better than average.
Congrats for your strategy.

very disappointing…I had that battle at 71% for you, still very bad odds for me…your first roll just killed it, no hope after that. I knew 4-5 turns ago that the pacific was in trouble. I didn’t think I could stop you, perhaps I should have been more aggressive with the usa vs. jpn in the middle rounds? I think I should have picked a fight against your navy much, much earlier?
Great game Juan.
This is the second time I thought I had an allied win vs a their one opponent but alas…I couldn’t pull it out.
-
I think you had it on your hand, just 1 infantry built in San Francisco or 1 retreated from Pearl a round ago and this move was not possible.
I don´t think that you should have attacked Japan earlier, you were simply winning with your strategy that was better than mine, but you made that little mistake, and Pacific was too tight.
Perhaps some less strenght vs Germany in Europe when Germany launched troops to Asia, as Germany was too far from 8 VCs, would also have avoided the 6 VCs, always difficult to say, this game is well designed and is tight.
Thank you for being such a good opponent and good luck in your other games.
