Teslas (Allies) vs Private Panic (Axis) in 1940 Global

[Private-Panic]

Yes - it does seem to work - if you press battle in sz 6 the dice roll box comes up and shows exactly the dice rolls I e-mailed to you.

So load it up, select your casualties and hand it back.

Cheers
Adam

Cool! That seems to have worked. Good to know.

The problem, however, is now that we’re in the middle of this huge naval clash, I’m going to bed. I have a job interview tomorrow at a new company (a job I’d rather do, closer to my house than my current one, perhaps (only slightly) better pay) after work, but I’m going to be awake and/or have nightmares all night long about this stupid game.

One time my girlfriend woke me up out of a deep sleep, and I remember saying “Don’t forget to move your mechanized infantry out of Yugoslavia” in a drowsy but earnest voice. She was pretty confused, and so was I.

Another time I woke up in a cold sweat because I had done three or four crucial planes + inf attacks in a dream and all of them ended up with me losing my infantry and not taking a single territory.

That is the kind of shit this game does to me. I don’t know why I play it.

[teslas]

Final note: I see that you did not move your destroyer in SZ 80, so we’re doing that fight? (I said SZ 90 earlier, but meant 80, the one off of the Persias.)

R1 I got 9 hits vs your 12 - despite having more “power” - a terrible start! Thought about retreating but stayed. Fortunately did better on R2 hits. Back to you.

Not sure I wanted to know about your bedroom conversations with the girlfriend! Are “mechanised infantry” and “Yugoslavia” euphemisms?

Good luck with the job interview. What do you do? Apologies if you’ve told me already!

Re sz80 - I thought I should live by my mistake and suffer any consequences. But did not scramble your fighters when asked because was uncertain as to what I would do. Need to sort when we get there.

I really don’t mind you moving that sub in SZ 80. “Suffer my mistake” for large, bad strategy, sure. Forgetting to simply move one piece, nah. And yeah, I’d scramble the fighters for sure, so that’s why I kept asking if you wanted to move it. I wouldn’t have kept asking if I wasn’t serious about having you move it if you wanted.

As far as SZ 6, I just scored average hits, 10. This leaves you with 9 units, mostly rolling 4, against my 15 units, average rolls of 3. Choices, choices.

Fiddled about terribly. Played around with retreating, but then realised I had misread your remaining destroyers, so changed my mind and decided to stay. That does mean I backtracked and started the go again.

Unfortunately then only got 3 hits, as you will see. Not having any luck in this battle!

I will undo the sz 80 battle at the end. Thanks.

May or may not get a chance to do another go tomorrow - holiday preparations will be getting hectic!
