14L Playoff R1 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +22)

[boldfresh]

classic.

[gamerman01]

And I rolled down by 1.5…

You rolled up by almost 2…
I got an average roll

You rolled down 1,
I rolled up 1 (up 2, but 2nd was unneeded)

Weird, 2nd round was horrible for you in Z35 too

[gamerman01]

The last round being scorching (rolling up 1), you couldn’t even fly off with a strat bomber or 3….  Ouch.

[wheatbeer]

Odds of Japanese victory here were only 63% (this looks like an upper 25% result for Allies, so not crazy unlikely). Just rough to follow losing the coin-flip in SZ35.

I am not sure of the precise odds in SZ35. If you factor in the 2 kamikazes, it may have very slightly favored Japan.

[gamerman01]

You are correct on the Z35 odds.  It was slightly in Japan’s favor with the kamis
I’m checking odds on India now.  I think they were a little higher than 63%.  I think it was about 63% with Russian bombers, which weren’t there

[gamerman01]

No, you were right.  It’s only about 63% of taking with a tank (is with an AA50 calculator, so I have to make some approximations), without Russian bombers…

[gamerman01]

Roughly top 19% I figure, so you are pretty much right again.

Assumed no scramble to 112

[wheatbeer]

Probably going to surrender. Will think it over another day or two to be sure, but I doubt I will find a way to salvage the situation.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, sure now.

I surrender.

Good game … I hope you’ll give me a rematch sometime later this season.  :-)

[gamerman01]

I would love to replay you later in the season

Hopefully you don’t draw me in the first round next year, right?

Wish me luck…

Good game, Wheat
