G40 Wheatbeer (Allies + 16) vs JuanSpain (Axis)

  • 19 18 17 16 15

    Bad luck there, low luck reroll if you wish, or we may not see your new strategy effect.

  • 17

    If your BB had lived, I might have taken that offer, but this isn’t actually that unlikely an outcome, so I’d rather keep playing without a reroll.

    If there’s crazy 1% type results, then I am open to low luck rerolls for either side.

    The strategy I had in mind originally was to test stacking SZ97 with 2 loaded carriers (plus dd and cruiser). However this was effectively countered by your G1 buy (gives Germany the extra punch to clear UK ships at an advantage), so I’d already abandoned that idea  :lol:

  • 19 18 17 16 15

    Ok, yes, I ussually buy those 3 fighters (except when someone bids a fighter in Scotland–> in that case I attack 110 in round 1 instead of 109 and 111, and put a carrier in West Ger that allows me eliminating 111 ships retreated to Iceland in round 2), in this case I thought the 3 fighters would serve against your potential strategy with the carrier.

    No complaints about my dice vs France after this… however, even on average, it was a big disaster, we can apply low luck reroll if you wish. I thought your French guys would join the Gibraltar UK fleet to avoid that possibility.

  • 17

    I would use it here  :lol:

    I didn’t think you’d be willing to buy 3 carriers to hit the fleet (especially after an all-air buy).

    let me know if you want to change your ncm

    Apologies in advance if this game turns out to be a short one … my Allied play was never great and it’s rusty too  :lol:

    The 3 carrier buy is pretty surprising … good for Italy, but also good for the Soviets.

    No changes to NCM, thx, and no issues about how the game evolves, I am sure it will be tight and interesting vs you in any case.
