Rus 5.tsvg Of course you had crazy dice in the biggest battle of the game lol. I did so so many trial battles and was comfortable with how many troops I expected you to lose.

[mainah]

@TinCanoftheSea
I came to the same conclusion. In fact, from the get go my plan was not to attack Moscow this turn. I wanted to turtle you, destroy your lenningrad force fairly cheaply, and take stalingrad and the caucaus.

Your focus on Germany instead of Japan, with a solid bridge head in Greece forced my hand.
I realized that if I didn’t take the risk, Germany would not get a second chance

[mainah]

80% odds with 2 ground units left is not an outcome one should plan on for a winning strategy. Not on a board like this

scramble.tsvg Yeah exactly. I thought the odds would be heavily in my favor there if you waited another turn or took it with less than 4 remaining. Definitely kept the game alive for longer, no clear favored player now.

[mainah]

No scramble

[TinCanoftheSea]

us 5.tsvg TripleA is being weird and let me finsih the US turn (went terrible lol) but now won’t let me take Chinas. Gonna do it in local play instead.

[TinCanoftheSea]

That too is coming up with an error, maybe you try it and resend it back or something?

[mainah]

@TinCanoftheSea
Will try tonight.

[mainah]

You can play, save it, and manually drag the file to a post.
