use second file please. Had a change of heart.

[Private-Panic]

Okay witt - will do.
Guess we gave up on the J attack on sz51 then!
Probably be tomorrow afternoon before I do G, as have a business meeting in the morning.

[Witt]

Thought we super strong, super confident (cocky) Americans would spoil the Yellow themed party. Russia on back foot though.
Enjoying it. Thank you. Have a fun evening. I open tomorrow, so will be busy most of the day.

[Private-Panic]

Did an EDIT to relocate the G transport back to the Med - hope that is OK?

[Witt]

-63 is toouch in this game.
If you had failed to sink me: wS a chance, I think you could not come back. Surviving with 5/10 was a good result for you. I can’t ever challenge for Europe again.

[Private-Panic]

Yes - did the odds beforehand and were better than 75% so gave it a go. The trick was putting the Med fleet in the right previous go.

But then you got 52 with US vs J in sz62. Did you calc the odds on that one?

G now poised on Moscow and US on Tokyo!

[Witt]

I don’t know how go do the odds and am not sure I trisr the figure anyway. (Must be an italian conspiracy theory thing.)
I suppose I forgot the Carriers only have one hit (two in 1940)'and miscalculated. I don’t often do that. Have gifted you a big opportunity now. Incan’t hope to get the 6 IPCS again for France and UK can’t do much on 18 a turn.
Is over, I am sure. Needed that Russian Attack in Kazak to work, but lost 9 units to kill 2, was it?  Can’t see map, as have returned from work (for bed).

[Private-Panic]

Use AACalc on the forum to work out the odds on critical plays. Just did it for yoursz62 attack and you had a 90% probability - should have worked that out before wasting all those ipcs trying to rebuild the J navy.

If you’d rather start a new game let me know.

Remember how happy I would be to win my first game!
