G4018L Farmboy Allies vs Karl7 Axis +4

[Karl7]

phew!  I got Hawaii!!!

Wow, never thought it would happen.

Now, I guess if you can get Berlin on Russia’s turn, you are still in it?

Time for some US suicide run on Berlin?

[farmboy]

I think I can concede here. Oh man that is painful. I could have avoided that with more careful play and I planned on getting Berlin the following turn. I had no guarantees on that, but I thought my odds were pretty good.

Well played. I will post.

[farmboy]

I’ll double check with the USSR first, but I’m pretty sure that is close to impossible.

[Karl7]

Yeah, this was a beast of game.

If I lost, I would have had to surrender my A&A credentials….  :-P

[farmboy]

My panic subsided. I should try for it at least.

[farmboy]

But it is definitely a long shot.

[Karl7]

you consistently pulled the rug out from under me!

ahahahahahahahah

well played.  :lol:

[Karl7]

@farmboy:

But it is definitely a long shot.

yeah, you got to try

[farmboy]

assumed no intercept for the bombing because it probably wouldn’t hit the bombers and because you probably want to conserve the fighters. Still my odds for Russia are pretty low.

[farmboy]

And obviously if you do want to intercept we can do that and correct after.
