Non con is fine. Not sure about AB, depends if battle result can have influenced that, cant open file now. Just edit it all in, if i dont agree after opening file i will undo it ;)

[lexgreat]

yes, of course. I attach the files.

Battles for UK were in India only.
Battles for US were in Africa (all of them lost, one survivor of 5 attackers).

[lexgreat]

[Balladeer]

Seems you got a AB for just a downgrade of tb to fighter, want me to remove des / sub in 101?

Thx for allowing edit, I really believe there is no connection to US combat, let alone UK. Still, you allowed far more than anyone can expect.

As for Africa, a total disaster and maybe more momentous than many battles that didnt go well for you. Having said that, I do not have ANY reasons to complain about dice in this game. And there is a thing or two I wish I had handed differently (maybe true for you also?).

[lexgreat]

To qualify my statement, even if some of the battles with bad luck for you may have not been that important, overall you would be far closer to victory had that battles go average, of course.

[Balladeer]

@alexgreat:

To qualify my statement, even if some of the battles with bad luck for you may have not been that important, overall you would be far closer to victory had that battles go average, of course.

Yes, differently some things I should have done differently:

• letting some 60/40 battle for US vs Japan exist is no good as the ANZAC can follow up.
• should have put the Ger fleet in 113 after you made that many subs
• should’ve watched better how I could keep pressure on fin / 125 while attacking Rus
  some other stuff as well I guess.

And about the importance of the fights: real hard to say. If you had won / done better with US (I think clearing SA but not taking it would’ve been above average allready) I don’t think it would have changed the game, Ger is getting too close to Moscow / Volgograd and Egy is safe, so Euro victory seems hard to avoid.
Also if a few rounds ago the Jap dice had been average you wouldn’t have gotten this chance, there would be more Jap fleet, Chi would be long dead, SFE would’ve been taken far earlier freeing up units to take India or go Russia harder, taking away Rus income, letting Ger get there earlier - all in all, much more income for Axis than Allies.

I guess the bad dice in the Med in turn 2 (I think it was) hurt you most…

[lexgreat]

Thats what I mean, cumulative you would be far more ahead, yes.

[Balladeer]

Right, but given the situation, your US dice still s***ed
