15L Boldfresh (Allies+16) vs JuanSpain (Axis)

[boldfresh]

@JuanSpain:

Awaiting scramble decision in Pearl. Of course if you wish to change your scramble decision in India also.

Thx

Juan

Full scramble.

If u win it will be a true miracle.

[boldfresh]

no scramble in india.

[boldfresh]

looks like more fantastic rolling.  lose all subs in round 1 and then take max defense the rest of the way.

[boldfresh]

you needed to get much more lucky than you did is what my gut tells me.  you may have rolled up, but it doesn’t seem at first glance like you rolled up incredibly.

Yeah, -16 in India was not great, but was around average, then 88 in Pearl I think is very good, and a bit better than average, so I am happy.

well, juan, i’d say you’re halfway to a miracle.  that fleet battle in z93 was ALSO nothing short of INCREDIBLE.  this one has gotten infinitely closer in the last round, with your big wins and my big losses!

[JuanSpain]

Still far, +2 for you there was very good for me, I did not clculate avergage but +50 would have not surprised me. Have to think now, very few options, but I may have one.

don’t think there are options juan, but maybe you will show me.  perhaps i just haven’t adjusted to the shock of these unbelievable battles.

yes, +57 was the average and you would have had 8 less with italy as well since there would have been a sizeable fleet in 93.  it’s just crazy.

up

[boldfresh]

juan, i guess we will see what you can do…  i don’t see any options for axis victory.  i can’t tell which theater is looking worse for the axis…

i guess you could go for moscow now and hope to roll up top 1% or better again?  the problem is, even if moscow goes great and you take it, you’ve still only got 6 cities - you would still need volgo and either london or egypt.

in the pacific, you’ve got 3 victory cities, presuming you continue to hold india.  China is totally overrun and getting either VC there will come at huge cost.  taking hawaii also huge cost.

i dunno, may it will be me who has something to learn here.  :-)

cheers

[JuanSpain]

No no, I agree you are still favourite, but I will try, not with Moscow now, allthough I think it is more than 1%, but something tells me that I would fail it now.

And remember I expect you telling me at the end of the game the option for me that you thought I could have (we discussed that just a round or so before these battles).
