Ok Sir,

The mother of all battles, if on my side the result of this battle is less than average, I think this game is over.  :oops:

I suppose scramble but I need OOL.

Good luck

[Stalingradski]

Man, this is a huge battle  :-)

All six subs in any order, eight destroyers (leave Italian) - then let’s talk from there. By odds you should get 10 hits on the first round (and eventually have a follow up from the UK), so I’m holding off from tipping carriers to see where this goes round by round. If you get more than 14 on the first round of rolls I’m probably toast anyhow  :cry:

Sorry if it makes this battle a little more tedious, but we both know how important it is.

[Stalingradski]

That was a rough fight. I didn’t track the actual dice but I certainly should have been hurt a lot more.

[rubioton]

I think this is not my game……  :-P

I had 8 hits on first round and you had 12. As the hole game your troops defense are much better than mine. Sometimes luck balance the game but not this time.

I think i took a destroyer instead of a sub, nevermind I’ll go on anyway it goes.

I had 5 hits on second round and you had 7…

I have made a few mistakes at the begining and you had made an excelent job in both sides of the board. Maybe if I would been more patient as you said… but I do not see any weaknesses in your strategy.

So congratulations and good job. Sir

[rubioton]

I’ll post the result

[Stalingradski]

Thank you - I’m not a huge fan of dice deciding games, but luck giveth and it taketh away, so all you can do is hope it balances quickly. And it didn’t for you.

I felt that we were having about as close a game as possible for a long time - I’m up for switching sides if you’re interested - same bid if you’re in.

[rubioton]

Sure,

Give me your bid choice and I’ll set the game.

[Stalingradski]

I’ll go with exactly the same - fighter in 98, mech in Egypt, artillery in Sudan. Good choices.

I agree, but this thing could happen and we have to handle it.  :mrgreen:

I like those too  :wink:
