I was going to concede the game if you whipped my @ss in Ukraine… but overall, I didn’t do half bad.  You won, but (because you didn’t have any air cover and the AA guns missed me) I supremely depopulated your front of Germans and basically all the Italians.  If I can’t take Egypt in a couple turns (thus crippling Italy’s economy for the rest of the game) then that will BE the game.  I would have to concede.  But not yet.  Basically at this point, I am just fighting to prolong it.  If I do re-take Egypt (and find a way to hold on to Sydney) maybe I can get my 5 US aircraft carriers back in the game in some capacity.

In such attacks where I am rated to have a significant (or in this case 94%) chance of winning, don’t take bombers before other units without first asking order of losses.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Please redo the combat rolls with the following order of losses (OOL):
AA
infantry
mech
art
tanks (10 of them)
bombers
remaining tanks

Take the Italian troops before taking the German troops.

Alright, doubt I’ll have even half as much success this time.  We’ll see.

Okay I concede the game.

Not only did your AA guns hit this time I only did 7 hits in the first round.  You did 16 hits.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Much better played this game.  Your ability to control the money islands was a big hurt for Japan, and China was always so pesky.  Let me know if you want to flip sides and rematch.

[innocentbystander]

yes lets flip sides

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Sounds good.  You can start it this time. Let me know if you have trouble figuring out how to do it.  Use this same thread for simplicity.

I won’t scramble if you use overwhelming forces in each sea battle.

[innocentbystander]

I got all these errors from the system trying to submit the dice to the server.  Is it “play by email” and then just the number we were using?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

You can use the internal dice roller for this non-league game.  People in the league will want you to use the dice.tripleAwarclub server with our e-mail addresses.

I went in with what I believed constituted an “overwhelming” force.  If you want me to redo those battles, I will.

By the by, France “butchered” me.  I almost didn’t succeed in taking it!
