@Makalakalane sorry forgot to complete one of my combat moves

ubernaut

@Makalakalane we gonna roll this out or what's happening?

Makalakalane

@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.

ubernaut

@Makalakalane well idk how you would choose kamikaze I've never even done that, but if you get lucky and take out 6 of my ships its basically a coin toss at that point any big battles are always fun live win or lose.

ubernaut

@Makalakalane i think overall the battle is probably 75% in my favor, also i think that's why i thought i might want to pick causalities in that russian battle figured you had to leave your fighters in japan to keep your fleet safe especially if i hit tech or something.

Makalakalane

@ubernaut I forgot about Kamikaze, but it still takes 2 kamikazes to take out a capital ship, so I'm not too optimistic. Go ahead - all my kamikazes go for Battleships.

ubernaut

hmm when i looked at figured best way to use kamizae was to select single hit ships 3 cruisers and 3 destroyers.

Makalakalane

@ubernaut in the Russian battle I had a 95% chance of winning and I brought a lot of planes. the ones on Japan, I'm pretty sure flew there after the russian battle.

Makalakalane

@ubernaut maybe. I've only done it once before. The destroyers probably wont hit anything. You're welcome to chose something else for me, if you wish. The chances of me winning are so low that I don't really care. I'd go for Battleships.

ubernaut

@Makalakalane that doesn't seem right why would you move them to that territory after the battle that's the reason i figured maybe it wasn't so one-sided since they didn't have the range to return back to japan.

ubernaut

@Makalakalane let's just do it live i'd rather not be making your decisions. Also battles like this are exactly the reason to do some live imo.

Makalakalane

@ubernaut battles like this, yes, that has a more even setup. But ok, letøs get it over with. It just feels like a waste of time with 1% chance of winning

ubernaut

@Makalakalane thanks going to the lobby now trust me its not 1%

Makalakalane

It is, thought. 6 dice on 2s as a one time hit doesn't increas my chances by 25%

Makalakalane

@Makalakalane though*

ubernaut

@Makalakalane if you take out 3 dd's and 3 cruisers i think i have slight disadvantage
never looked at the bbs tho

Makalakalane

@ubernaut your chances of winning is 69% if I am succesful on all dice on the ships you mentionl Which is not gona happen

ubernaut

@Makalakalane thanks for a fun game learned a lot.
