Trulpen Tournament - PTV - Low Rollers (Axis +5) vs. GeneralDeath (Allies)

[gamerman01]

OK, I forgot since I had to wait, that I was going to lose a fighter over India. Unbelievably I didn’t, so I’m going to lose a fighter and bring back an infantry I took off, before rolling 34/35

OK, I got an unusual roll in 34, so I will stop to wait for your casualty choice, thanks and sorry. My first game back in years, we’re in round 10 and I’ve had pretty rough luck the whole way through. Apparently now it’s making up for that, at your expense.

[DrakeMortis]

@gamerman01 Nice roll. Lose everything but the battleship and a cruiser

[gamerman01]

Thank you, and excellent choice. Maybe you will have a blistering defense, let’s see.

[gamerman01]

You got an above average roll, which is actually kind of a relief. I was starting to feel bad.

[DrakeMortis]

@gamerman01 fingers crossed! It also seems as though a Marine was on a cruiser, probably won’t matter in a moment though lol.

[gamerman01]

Triple A says you have a marine on each cruiser - I checked before attacking lol

[gamerman01]

Well, get some luck against us again, soon, OK? because that is sick.

[DrakeMortis]

@gamerman01 it’s all good, nice shooting.

[gamerman01]

Classy. THANKS it means a lot. Like I said, 10 disappointing round leading up to this, and then the dam breaks. Long tournament, we’ll all have our ups and downs no doubt.

[GeneralDisarray]

@gamerman01 Are you still discussing the non combat? I dont see a save game after the japan combat.

[gamerman01]

No, it’s all me thinking about the move and placement - lots of decisions. The noncombat is messy, sorry about that. New to the map and the version. Coming any minute now

The edit was so that 2 infantry move from Anhwe down to Kiangsi instead of up to Jehol.

I’m sandwiched between massive Russian and Chinese armies and the Americans are still coming! I respect you guys, so I’m being careful!

[GeneralDisarray]

No worries take your time my friends its a complicated game:)

[gamerman01]

Thanks! Especially when the Russians build 3 tanks, a tactical bomber, a mechanized infantry, and more in Siberia in the first 3 turns! lol
