Yeah the only drawback is that there is no dice bot here. But we can ask the devs if they want to add a dice bot here. Shouldn't be that hard I think.
So you added an extra Russian fighter in the SBR against Leningrad so that if the AA scores a hit you can take the fighter as a casualty?

correct!

@VictoryFirst Good game! You rolled extremely poorly in that game!
-
even though you rolled like -70 lol, I'd be curious to know if you have any takeaways from this game.
-
Great game! I've never been so happy with a loss lol. I thought the Germans were unbeatable but apparently they can still lose. Even though the dice were unkind to them I still think I should have done my G1 on the Eastern Front better. You caught me off-guard with that bid in Bessarabia. My attacks were not optimal and I simply lost too many units the first two turns.
You had a text-book Allied victory - stacking up Moscow with enough fighters while also putting a lot of pressure on Berlin at the right moment - I think you found the correct balance this game. And you didn't make any mistakes. I think my mistakes were attacking the USA fleet on turn 1 as TGC pointed out and a suboptimal distribution of forces when attacking Russia on G1, which was capitalized by the dice. I think I was already screwed after turn 2.
Want to go again, same sides? The Bessarabia bid looks like it's the most challenging for the Germans
P.S. I suggest we use this website to serve as a replacement for dice bot https://www.pbegames.com/roller/
It's a really nice site, you can roll multiple sets of dice at the same time and add comments to each roll which is very handy when rolling these battles. But of course, we can also use the A&A dice bot if you prefer. -
And I also think for the Germans to lose, they need defeats in both theaters (Atlantic and Eastern Front). I think a massive defeat in one but a victory in the other is not enough. If the Germans get good dice on the EF, then Moscow is going to fall on G6, no matter what the Allies do. However if the Germans lose a bunch of units on the EF while the Allies are still struggling with the U-boats for several turns, then Germany will capture Moscow at a later point (G7, G8, etc.) At least that's what I felt after this game. Because of military setbacks in both theaters, the Germans weren't able to capture Moscow on G6 and were also immediately faced with a large Allied presence in the West and were forced to defend Berlin as well, which resulted in their defeat.
-
@VictoryFirst Yes, I am down for a rematch.
I'll have my own notes on this game in a little bit.
