BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

[farmboy]

@farmboy 111 was a bit of a gamble for me so I have to expect that outcome some of the time. Yugo was definitely rough. But at least I kept all the German fast movers in France and you have to commit a bit more to clean up 110. And 106 was nice since it was a coin toss.

[gamerman01]

106 is vey nice

I agree with everything you just said

I am glad you didn’t take out my 91 cruiser with a sub. Not saying you should have tried, just glad

[gamerman01]

We both hold our breath for UK1

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I tend to put a bid sub there to avoid that (and for 96). But as the Germans I find it pretty risky to go for unless I’m only hitting one of the UK fleets around England. Given what I remember from our first game, I figured I was better off gambling on trying to knock both fleets out.

Savegame

[farmboy]

no rolls yet, which is a bit strange.

[farmboy]

I did get teh Japan rolls now but not Germany yet.

[JDOW]

Good luck to both players!

Rough start for the Axis so far. Losing 5 Japanese ground J1 hurts. German rolls could also have been better.

But Farmboy got Axis very cheaply, thus some 14-18 less Allies IPCs on the map compared to matches in which no player is as keen on playing Allies as Gamerman is:)

[gamerman01]

Scramble to 97?

UK1 scramble.tsvg

[farmboy]

sorry for the delay. I wasn’t at a computer. Feel I have to do full scramble here. The 3 figs will join in.

[farmboy]

One thing I wanted to ask about thought is if you are able to post to forum? I thought you should be able to with the newer versions we are playing with.

Also, I did get the Germany rolls in the end and I saw the China rolls too.

[gamerman01]

Nope, posting to forum doesn’t work for me - I just tried it again.

I hope you get a decent roll in response -

What unit do you save?

UK1.tsvg

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 ouch! I’ll keep the German fig

[gamerman01]

Thank you for the quick reply, and the delay of a few hours was no problem - I’ve been playing Europeans

[gamerman01]

OK, I didn’t want you to do THAT well. Perfect 5/5

[gamerman01]

Scorching dice, but the German fighter let me off easy in round 2.

[gamerman01]

Big win for me in 110 unless the defense whiffs on G2
