L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

[Stucifer]

Ohhhhh snap

[Stucifer]

LRA on the 2nd try for Germany? Gentlemen, we have a game! Watching the rest of your conversation with crockett36 right now while I try to recover from a chain of disastrous moves as the USA in a PtV game… 🤓

[gamerman01]

That is music to my ears.
Finally (referring to all other games recently) my luck has returned

[gamerman01]

It’s pretty exciting to have my first tech in 12 years…

Your fighter on India is holding up the action!

Does it scramble to 39?

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Yes, I will scramble. Rule Brittania!

[gamerman01]

It’s only J3 and the Sino-Russo front has been a bloodbath.
The survivors grapple to determine…

WHO WILL HOLD ULANBATAAAAAR?!

[gamerman01]

Wife wants to eat and go for a drive.
The World is at War and history hangs in the balance.
I guess history has to wait.
An Axis and Allies board is no match for a wife. Or a cat.

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 haha! Well as my Marine friend tells me, most of war is “hurry up and wait”, which I think play by post gets accurate…🤣🤣

Enjoy the drive! 😉

[Stucifer]

I have to say BM/PtV have really spoiled me on just how much more space there is between some of the objectives like Moscow and Berlin; India and Japan. I’m not respecting the Axis enough and it’s already looking a bit grim to my eye

After a miserable first round attack roll and a good 2nd round roll, the allies have 1 unit remaining in Z39

I don’t want to assume on this one, could be ANZ fighter, UK fighter, UK battleship

First round the mighty Japanese only scored 2 hits, so damaged the capital ships.

Will most likely need a casualty choice in Mongolia too, you might be able to give me advanced instructions to facilitate play, or not.

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 the battleship will survive

[Stucifer]

Max Defense in Ulaanbaatar. Lose the us bomber first.

Thank you much for timely answers, will be nice to be able to complete my move without a delay ->

The game history is a mess, sorry

Precious few times playing Axis in the last several years

You took down 6 planes and almost 7
I guess I destroyed 7 aircraft

Looks like you and I know how to fight a war!
Clear out all those extra units, then easier to move.
