@BobbaRossa Actually I think I’m cooked! Just realised you can take gb this turn and I can’t stop it. Could have moved Us fleet to block for 1 turn but it would then be sunk and I’d be in the same position and hooked out of the ME as well.

Well played, that was certainly an eye opener…my new tactic is now move everything to Moscow post haste!

Hmmm, I don’t think I see what you’re saying. Gb is Great Britain? If you drop 10 units there on their turn, not a chance I can take it. Granted, that will set you back massively in the ME while also losing Norway, but that was my hope ;) . It’s definitely tough sledding, and I don’t think this position is recoverable without some fantastically hot dice, but London isn’t in any immediate danger unless I’m really missing something. Let me know if you still want to concede. I obviously don’t mind ;) , but want to make sure its what you want.

[wizmark]

@BobbaRossa Thanks for the option but I will still concede. Thanks for the game and a look at how the high levels play! I think I’m a way off being a contender at the top levels but learning every game!

[oysteilo]

interesting. Allies have nothing here so I agree with wizmark. What is really the take home message is you can not buy so many fighters with russia. if 3 fighters were changed to men, moscow would probably not fall G5. I think that is what it comes down to. Also bold by BR to buy 10 armor round 2 when there is no clue about what Russia is doing. It just shows how volnurable the allies are, for the first rounds it is men men men and maybe some art if germany buys navy

[wizmark]

@oysteilo My thinking at the time…before I realised the bomber spam was coming…was that Bob was going to flatten the moscow IC with Strat bombing, negating the extra money I had at that point. Therefore some extra fighters would dissuade unescorted bombers, keeping a max 10 build in moscow. Seemed a good idea at the time!

[oysteilo]

understand, but moscow should noty fall G5 ever never

Good game Wiz! You’ve got some solid instincts. Taking Norway and Korea were good moves, just have to avoid the catastrophes in the process :D . Best of luck to you!
