Absolute bloodbath in 99
L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2
-
Round 2 in SZ93 really hurt, but was fortunately evened out by the miss in SZ 95 and last round miss in SZ93. Otherwise pretty bad dice for Germany that round overall.
-
Agree. I needed that pretty bad. Heavy losses in Normandy, blunts good Paris attack.
Russians have some time to build up. Egypt is doomed and I don’t know what to do about it. I might feel like a cornered animal and attack, don’t know yet.
You’re wise to move AA into Normandy, I would probably have tried it. -
@gamerman01 Yes, interesting to see your strategy around Egypt. You don’t have that much forces in close proximity that could assist at the moment.
-
It’s a problem. Had to suck everything close to London and super lucky to take down 5 planes. Will have to assess later, but as tempting as it is to flop onto the 3 units, might have to take a shot at stack with 3 German air. Don’t know yet
-
I think your G1 and losing no planes, buying ships makes it hard to keep much in Egypt. I’m just glad you can’t get a German ground unit there too fast. Hoping to regroup and fight for Egypt later. Not going to risk Alexandria - Italians will just swoop in anyway. Take the safe way to squash 3 to the South

Hmm, yeah! Unusual start for me with the Italians.
-
Building the airbase that turn might have been a poor choice. A little squeamish about inviting the combo attack, it’s just always hard to allow a situation where the dice could crush you.
-
@gamerman01 Hmm, yeah but normally that AB pays off sooner or later, not counting you could’ve spent those 15IPC differently right now of course.
-
Right, that’s why I bought it, but wondering if I actually wanted the Italians to attack it and the Germans to airstrike it. Doesn’t matter now!
-
OK… I think almost all of FRANZAC’s units are already committed, so this should be easy. No rush for G3, but whatever. Might be able to finish an R3 sooner than I think.

@gamerman01 We’ll see how this develops.

You’re right, I didn’t know the sub had a path to 89 and I got lucky. Realized the cruiser wasn’t safe at Hawaii and went back through the canal. Although it would have been fine at Hawaii because it takes a sub or 2 to go get it, and then they can’t go to 6 or anywhere else and they will be destroyed if I don’t move everything a different direction.
So basically I was bailed out by those 2 dice after my cluelessness with that cruiser
I like how you got a mech from Normandy to Norway - I thought drawing it in to Normandy I’d be keeping it away from Russia for a few turns, but with no English fleet, the German transport goes wild on me! Well played
-
@gamerman01 Haha that’s sometimes what happens! Yeah, you don’t want to be stuck around Novgorod as the Germans any longer than needed either.

Shoot, miscalculated something where I thought you could have more defense than you would
Not asking for anything, just regretting part of the purchase a tiny bit - should be fine lol
