good thing for the reroll that was a game ender roll right there.  as expected i rolled down in BOTH major battles, AND was forced to use my LL reroll when i hoped to roll up or at least even.  oh well, that’s how your year is going juan, sometimes when it’s meant to be it’s meant to be.

[boldfresh]

oh and let’s not forget the small fact that you hit 6 for 6 win egypt.  :lol:  so yeah, you rolled up well in every battle.

[boldfresh]

anyway, the good news for you is we are now back to full on luck so i will be toast shortly without the LL reroll to fall back on.

I haven’t looked at a map yet but it looks like you didn’t intend to take caro but thought of it in noncom.  A blitz and back of finland is an obvious move.  Taking your fleet to caro isn’t necessarily obvious right?

[JuanSpain]

Of course it is obvious, unless you are playing versus a Tier 4… what alternative move do you think I was planning? but of course you can undo the edits and continue with USA…

[boldfresh]

z62 or nz sea zone for example.

[boldfresh]

phi is the other obvious possibility you could have been planning for.

[boldfresh]

bottom line, a blitz and back is very different than a huge strategic positioning of an enormous fleet.
