2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[gamerman01]

This turn’s gonna take some time and energy, you know what I mean?

[Ghostglider]

Take you time. I think we overall keep an acceptable pace with fast moves when there is only easy choices and a slightly slower speed when map position offers more choices.
Not our choice that our game started so close to end of season.

@Gamerman01:

This turn’s gonna take some time and energy, you know what I mean?

don’t worry gamer, adam and i are keeping him quite busy lol although i must say adam is doing significantly better against him in his game than i am in mine :cry:

[gamerman01]

It’s unlikely this will be done by 10/31 so I gotta get my 8 - so I’m keeping the easy ones moving!

It’s true - we have been keeping a VERY good pace for such a huge game and great opponent.

Shouldn’t be too long - I don’t have that much to figure out here.  Most likely I will make my move Friday or Saturday

Don’t worry, just small battles.

Nice dice from Japan - Even though it is only “minor” battles it still add up…
wow - a few days away from the game and the game plan is almost gone.
The only thing I remember is that I enjoyed to bomb your factories so here we go again!

Intercept in W.GER? (1 FTR, 4 BMB vs. 4 Germany FTR)

[gamerman01]

@Ghostglider:

Nice dice from Japan - Even though it is only “minor” battles it still add up…

Just trying to keep pace with you, man, you’ve had a lot of great offensive dice yourself!  Maybe you lose your first American bomber finally?!  :-)

[gamerman01]

OK, the reason I said “don’t worry, just small battles” is because I wouldn’t want to see my opponent saying “hey, I got perfect dice!”  when I first check the game thread  :-)

[gamerman01]

No intercept - I want to make you defend your fleet and Norway to the max, so don’t want to lose a single plane

Now roll at least one ace for me this time

[Ghostglider]

Luck is surely on your side now - I hope I get some back in your Germany turn,

Yeah, you finally lost a USA bomber to AA…  Have waited a long time for that

[gamerman01]

Alright, mixed SBR that Triple A doesn’t do right

Let’s say the first AA shot is from the airbase and the 2nd and 3rd are from the complex

Well, the first one was a one and Triple A actually took off the one going at the airbase, so no edits necessary

I lose a bomber, and only roll a 5, so 9 damage for a 12 IPC bomber - yet another disappointing bomb run for me
