Good luck!

[VictoryFirst]

Doing the German turn now, did one battle and realized I forgot to move a German sub. I will move it to join the attack in the Strait of Gibraltar. I will roll that battle with the dice bot. Sorry.

OK so the sea battle near Gibraltar didn’t really matter as I got a hit and you didn’t, so the sub would not have had an effect on the battle.

Lol, that was quite the aggressive G1. Lost a bunch of submarines and two planes which is pretty bad but we’ll see how it plays out!

[The_Good_Captain]

@VictoryFirst

I am giving you back a fighter in the North Sea. Here is why: on the first round of combat the Germans scored three hits and you left the UK BB alive. Without knowing how many hits the British are going to inflict on the Germans, I would have left the destroyer alive - not the battleship as you did. The reason for this is that the battleship by itself is vulnerable to German submarine surprise strikes whereas the destroyer is not. In round 2, the Germans whiffed and the British rolled a 2 so that is good no matter if the shot was from a battleship or destroyer. On round 3, the German air units finish off my “destroyer” and then that unit rolls a “4”. A four is a miss from a destroyer.

Therefore, I am giving you back a fighter and placing it in Germany along with the others.

With that adjustment, this opener sees Germany missing 3.02 pieces in the Atlantic and -0.15 pieces on the east front (par on the east front).

Net German opener: -3.17 pieces

@The_Good_Captain

Thank you for pointing that out. I was mindlessly pressing space bar in all those battles and didn’t realize you had the option to save a DD over a BB, I will keep that in mind in the future.

Thank you very much for your openness and honesty. That fighter will help soothe the pain from the North Sea battle 😀

Yeah, for the purpose of solving these games and uncovering what works best, the “ha ha, gotcha!” is not helpful. Happy to oblige. I’ll have this turn out today. Playing as the Allies in this game is incredibly complex I’m discovering.

the “ha ha, gotcha!” is not helpful.

Ha ha, that made me laugh 😂

@The_Good_Captain said in VictoryFirst (Germany) vs. The_Good_Captain (Allies) | Original Europe, Game 4:

Playing as the Allies in this game is incredibly complex I’m discovering.

Well, this game in my opinion looks deceptively easy but it really isn’t. You have to consider and analyse many moves from your opponent to find what’s best to do. I have been playing some games against myself and the many things you can do with each nation really shines. I think this game is one of my favorite games right now.

Yes, the Allies are the hardest. You have to act very quickly and have a determined game plan, otherwise the Germans will capture Moscow.

@kwaspek104 ^ you will appreciate this comment. Of course I agree 100% - and I was a “nonbeliever”.

[The_Good_Captain]

@VictoryFirst this game started out with Germany -3.17 pieces. They are +9.42 pieces. Yes, that is a scrapbook moment. All the Russian battles were 94% or better and still there was a 13 point swing. Shocking.

USA2.tsvg I suspect this game is over the turn after next. Can we rematch same sides after this? I know we usually swap but I would like another run at the Allies here…

[VictoryFirst]

Yes, I can see the thunderclouds forming above Moscow… those bad dice were devastating for the Russians.

Would you like to continue this game? Personally I prefer to start a new one because I think this game is over. Moscow is probably going to fall on G4 and if not then definitely on G5 (however, that might not be a certainty if you roll exceptionally well and I exceptionally bad, so if you want we can still play on and see what happens. Either way is fine).

Sure you can be the Allies again. I hope the dice are with you this time! 😀

@VictoryFirst awesome, yes thanks - I’ll concede here and take that offer and good game! If your bid is the same, so is mine for the new game.
