@ubernaut sorry too late... I already did it. Didn't see you email until after..
You only had one kind of unit in the country, so I didn't figure it was anything funky.. You managed to hit down 2 planes and the randomizer took a bomber.. -
@ubernaut I won, never the less, but man, I've been building up to that one for like 6 turns
Sorry we couldn't do it live. I didn't see the email, cos I was playing my turn when I received it..
In general I think live is ok, but actually I find it a little slow when it's minor battles, like escort/interception og 1 unit vs 1 unit. I think it makes sense during major battles and battles where there could be a reason to chose odd casualties. I Buryatia, you only had 1 kind of unit. There would be absolutely no reason for you to pick the AA guns in other round than round 1 of that battle. They only shoot once. -
@Makalakalane yeah well if you somehow missed really bad in first round i might have considered taking infantry instead.
-
@ubernaut why? How would that help you? Your chances of survival would drop like crazy if you did so? Unless you would hit on like 15 out of 19 1s.. You actually hit 9 in the first round, which was pretty high, I think. I mean even if you had won with 1 or both of your AA Guns, your chances of further survival would be even slimmer. But ok, I can see the logic if you would transport them back to Russia.
In any case, I didn't see your email until it was too late. I don't mind the live-thing, but as I said, maybe only if it's big or necessary. -
@Makalakalane yeah i realized that after i finished my turn that one might be weird if you got really unlucky i'd say whenever there is a potential decision it usually makes sense to play it safe instead of rushing, anyway seems like it didn't matter haven't actually been able to look at it yet.
-
@ubernaut I think I had a medium hit on the first round. Actually I think I also hit 9. You had 17 + the 2 AA Guns.

@Makalakalane sorry forgot to complete one of my combat moves
-
@Makalakalane we gonna roll this out or what's happening?
-
@ubernaut I don't know how it ended up with the Americans having a 99% chance of winning that one, I was sure I looked that over and put enough there to secure that I had 60%+ chance of surviving. but I must have fucked up. Since it's a 00% chance in your favour and I have 0 land units in Japan you just go ahead and choose casualties. I don't see why I would spend time live, when I have a 1% chance of surviving
I guess I learn every time. Still haven't gotten my first victory, so I guess I still suck at this map. Good luck in the battle. I will have to evaluate once it's Italy or Germanys turn.
