Wow that battle in Spain really went my way. First round was sick!

Just wanted to ask if I could change my stupid buy of 2 transports to some land units instead since I moved my fleet away from SZ112 :face_with_rolling_eyes:

If you think it’s unfair to do changes (which is fine) then I will just changed my placement slightly.

@Pejon_88

Yeah, Spain and pretty much every other battle, too. :sweat_smile:

I can’t keep this up, I’m afraid. It’s clear I’ve offended the dice gods in some major way this game, and at this point it’s just a formality who wins. Good game. Well played.

I’ll post the results. Let me know if you want a rematch.

[Pejon_88]

Thank you! However, I thought it was in the balance for quite many rounds. I think one decisive factor was the battle versus the UK fleet down outside Egypt. First I attacked with the Italian and performed very poorly for the German follow-up. Fortunately for me I only lost one German airplane in that attack. If I had lost 5-6 of them, the outcome could have been very different.

Just one other reflection. I think if keep an eye on the objectives you could produce way more each round, especially with the USA. The easiest objective except for the standard ones that grant you 20 extra IPC/round is the one down in Africa for an additional 5 :)

We can do a re-match right away if you want? You want to play Axis?

[StuckTojo]

@Pejon_88

Naw, let’s redo this one. Same bid, same placements if that’s cool with you.

Yes, thanks. I definitely need to get my head around all these new rules and objectives with BM. I’m still not sure I really like it any better. I honestly think 2nd Ed was fine. But, I also play no victory cities, so that evens it out a bit for the Allies and they don’t need quite as large a bid.

[Pejon_88]

@StuckTojo Definitely! I will start the game with the same premises.

[Pejon_88]

@StuckTojo We could also play OOB/vanilla later if you like. I have only played vanilla in a live setting before.

[StuckTojo]

@Pejon_88

Sure. I’m open to either version.
