a bit bad of luck on that battle, but it was worth a try. A very good dice outcome would have been game-over for the Allies.
L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

I was unknowingly in local mode and then got the exact same result on-line :face_with_rolling_eyes:

@gamerman01 Ah, yeah that was a gamble!

Sorry for delay, work is more intense right now and pretty much against my wishes my weekend is pretty full, but maybe I’ll squeak it in somewhere. I haven’t played anyone this week either, so not just avoiding this game, although I probably should be :dancers:
Maybe it will be time to quit when I look at Russia, maybe not. I’m pretty sure that Ukraine battle was the game - I realize most players wouldn’t see it that way but I do
-
@gamerman01 I fully understand, also the playoff games need to take precedence.
You mean in addition to everything else then? If things move along in the same manner, the Ukrainian battle will definitely help speed things up. I agree there.
-
Hard times in some other places, thanks for the acknowledgement, but Ukraine was the dagger. I knew the Russian front was my best chance, now I can’t even show my stuff :D
-
This is probably not all that hard a move, just gotta sit down and do it
-
@gamerman01 Of course!
-
Hmm, an unconventional option presents itself. I’ll have to do some more analysis later
-
@gamerman01 That’s sounds both interesting and a bit scary :D
-
That’s what I was going for! Not sure yet, takes more study.
-
@gamerman01 Waiting excitingly for your move :)
-
Interesting, I was finally moving as you posted that!
Still tough sledding. Good thing I took 3 infantry into Stalingrad to kill one mech. Ouch.
I apologize for being slow. I don’t want it to be that someone either gets beat by me, or it takes forever to win.
But at least I didn’t quit prematurely - you should enjoy the benefits of all that solid play. You don’t leave much room for error. Or poor luck. In other words I admire your play!I think the conventional obvious move ended up being the best here.
-
@gamerman01 Ok, great! Would be very interested to briefly hear what your mind was conjuring there if you don’t mind? :)
-
Yup, can’t say right away and it was probably foolish anyway - I’m so used to Egypt being the last city.
-
@gamerman01 Interesting to discuss after the game if not before then.

Was on a pretty miserable sub defense streak in my games, so that one is a surprise. A lot of plinking until Anhwe and Korea, yes, stiff
Today I completely whiffed on UK1 Zone 97, first round attack
Good thing he didn’t scramble. -
@gamerman01 Almost like in this game. Well not whiffed, but I could save my BB.
-
My brain is in a different place right now -
Which battle was that?
I’m working on what looks like a huge error in the Triple A calculator. I think I might have found it years ago but forgot.
