Well, I just got terribly diced, and you’re right in this game.

The odds were I won in Volgograd with two artillery and my aircraft left… and you killed everything and still have ten mech. Devastating for me.

I would do it over if I had the chance, every time. Most of the time, it would pay off for me. Really sucks to play so well for so long and have the dice betray deep in the game. This isn’t Risk.

I’ll get over it.

[Talleyrand19]

yeah that is rough…I’ve gotten dice-f’d in some of my other games going right now and it sucks to make the right moves and the dice just brutally destroy you…this one might still have a ways to go

[Stalingradski]

It does!  :-)

I’m over it now, like I said I would be ~ Japan has a nice foothold right in the middle of the board.

[Stalingradski]

Any kamikazes in SZ 19?

[Stalingradski]

Also, and very important - OOL in Iraq?

[Talleyrand19]

Can’t load the board right now so I’ll have to check much later, I don’t even know what I have in 19 haha

[Stalingradski]

No problem sir ~

SZ19 is SZ next to IC in Kiangsu:

Japanese defend with 11 Inf/Art/Mech/Arm
US attacks with 6 Inf/4 Art/6 Ftr/5 Tac

No bombardments (brought 5 Transports/7 Destroyers into SZ 19)

In Iraq:

Italy defends with 7 Inf/Mech
Germany defends with 7 Bombers
US attacks with 8 Bombers
I have strong 11 unit follow up with UK (3 Inf/2 Art/4 Mech/2 Ftr)

OOL very important - you lose bombers first, you’ll have better subsequent defense… you lose ground first, bombers easier to mop up.

After Volgograd, I have to be careful thinking I’ll mop up anything :)

[Talleyrand19]

let’s do this, use one kami token per destroyer (obviously only up to the 6 tokens)…and then in Iraq, lose the bombers first, they’re going to die either way so might as well try to dent your US attacking power with max defense…RIP German air force

[Stalingradski]

Here we go - game is on the line with these battles…

serious question, are you allowed to move friendly sea units into a sea zone that just had combat? like it’s different rules than land battles?
