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

[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.

[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

[gamerman01]

[gamerman01]

Edit request, fighter to Egypt instead of Malta (fighter began turn on Malta and attacked Z96)

This affects Italy’s turn so if you’ve already started looking at it, especially, feel free to deny.

@gamerman01 I missed this but am fine with it. I’ll double check that it doesn’t effect Italy but I don’t think so.
