15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

[JDOW]

Jap 12 combat attached.

Big battle at Carolines. Japan scored 11 hits round 1, the sub missed, please assign casualties.
I can’t promise to finish the move tonight, its bed time but I wanted to post before that.

p.s.: Sorry I forgot to post combat moves before I rolled. However I guess this should be affect anything even in theory.

[gamerman01]

Well, crap.  I finally make a mistake and you roll up more than a hit, to boot
And of course your infantry have no trouble winning with no losses, even on the heels of my Java disaster
Well I didn’t mean to give Japan this attack, but it ought to hurt them pretty bad and help Asia anyway

So take off the 3 subs, damage 3 carriers, and lose 5 destroyers
Dang, this game just got longer
Stinking carriers.  Man, you needed this badly.  Japan was getting squeezed
Nice move

[JDOW]

Continuing now, I had to reload the map. I assume the dice will be the same if I click on the battle again. If not, I will roll in the forum.

[JDOW]

Okay, you got your reveng, you scored 11 hits total in defense, so this battle might be a shortcut to the end.

[JDOW]

Sir, I can’t explain that, I accidently took one plane too little off at Caro. Obviously only 6 planes could land and after the clearence at Caro, the casualty choice is not affected.
So I hope you don’t mind if I leave the damaged battleship.
However I don’t know how to add a damaged battle ship to the map. So I add an undamaged battleship. I assume you kill it anyway so you can roll that on the forum. ok?

All together the Allied defense was I don’t know how many hits above average. So we might have found a shortcut now.

And a double 3 as convoy roll after you scored 7 damage with 2 subs the round before. :)

So you got the dice you were waiting for.
After that turn now I believe Japan is the biggest loser dicewise in this game.
The air strike went 1 above average for you in terms of planes, the Chinese gambit one below. However from there we had 5/9 AA, the Caro battle and an way above average convoy rolls always all the time.

I think we are moving towards even dice-wise meanwhile.

[JDOW]

Oh, once second please, I might reconsider NCM, let me think please.

[JDOW]

mhh… no, go ahead please.

[gamerman01]

Wow, I was just hoping I wouldn’t roll way down
Yes, looks like a big-time makeup, so you get a break from my complaining!
Can’t even look now, was just going out the door and thought you might need another choice
At a glance I think I agree with your analysis though

Chalk it up to curse of the clever - you are the clever one  :|

[gamerman01]

To add a damaged unit, you add the unit, then you click on it, then you click “edit unit damage” or something like that.

Here’s some good news for you, 2 American air down already, and more bombers are vulnerable as I got a poor roll in Z46

What do you take the 1 hit to?

And check out the dice in North Italy  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Oh, and let me know if you want to intercept at Stalingrad, but it’s 4 against 2

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

To add a damaged unit, you add the unit, then you click on it, then you click “edit unit damage” or something like that.

Ahh, good, thanks! Looking at the map now.

[JDOW]

Alright,

no intercept at Volgo.
And take the sub off please at sz46.

[JDOW]

I expect the bomber at Volgo to go down now btw. AA gunners received extra training after the recent underperformance in Europe and after the rumors about the great fighting skills of the American Navy in the Pacific spread to the Russian front.

[gamerman01]

I already rolled Volgo, and maximum damage was inflicted, sorry.  But Ukraine is unscathed

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

I already rolled Volgo, and maximum damage was inflicted, sorry.  But Ukraine is unscathed

Yeah, sorry. Axis headquarter is a bit confused after the recent developments  :-o
