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

[gamerman01]

Oh, there it is -

Take your time

[farmboy]

I’ll stick with the original post. Scramble orders for 110

[farmboy]

@JDOW a 4 bid is what we get when you have two players who prefer playing allies. I still feel I might regret taking axis but one sub was my cutoff for a bid here.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 because I responded to jdow after I you might have missed it. I’m not changing my G2 move so the post is below and I needa decision on scrambling 110.

Don’t mean to rush you though. I thought this might be a hard decision ( weighing the odds and TUV difference vs trading UK air for German.) But thought you might not have seen the post.

[gamerman01]

I did see it and it is hard.
Do not scramble - I don’t want more risks right now

[Pejon_88]

Best of luck guys. Will of course be following this one :muscle:

please use second file. I decided on changing the Japanese NCMs

sorry, I’ve been going back and forth on this. I’ll stick with the first file. It is the one where a large chunk of the Japanese fleet is in 37

[gamerman01]

What ground units are on what transports in 36 and 37?

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 one inf on each transport. There should be one in 36 that also has an art.

Interesting back and fourth regading dice. Japan continues hemorrhaging ground units, but an airstrike with a positive TUV exchange against 11 men, especially when you have to expect to go into a second round, is a big relief for Japan.

Quite some battles for such an early game. Excited to see how this one unfolds from here.

[farmboy]

@JDOW I thought I had to do it because if I didn’t he would otherwise have been able to stack Yunnan on round 2. I probably just needed the one round though as I just needed to do enough to prevent him from taking Yunnan with China. But yeah, that was a battle that went better than it could have.
