@AndrewAAGamer Germany was supposed to be up. Did I post the wrong file or you?
-
Looks like you opened the wrong file.
-
Interesting. I did not receive an e-mail that you had gone so I made a NCM edit this morning and reposted. However, you correctly point out you did go so I will remove the edit. Sorry about that.
-
@AndrewAAGamer no problem if you want to make those NCM edits. I don’t think any of them affected the Anzac or France moves.
-
@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Cool, thanks! At DnD session now. Will go late tonight or tomorrow for sure.

enjoy! Gygax was such a genius. I stopped by his home in Lake Geneva. So many fond memories of the game from decades ago.

Tried my luck in France. If I had succeeded, I would have attacked W Germany on UK turn and made a fun situation in europe.
My gamble didn’t work out. I will post. Very well played.

Very well played
Well, not sure how well I played. You made a major mistake that got me back in the game. If I had not taken Moscow you would have won for sure. As it was it was neck and neck so just think how bad it would be without Germany getting the Russian money and if Russia was still dropping 6-7 units on the board every Turn.
Your Chinese money Bid idea was really terrific. Not sure if there was another way I could have tried to deal with it but it definitely hosed Japan for most of the game. You were able to basically ignore Japan for the entire game with the US; I don’t think you ever spent more than 33% of your monies against Japan. That meant there was a TON of pressure on Germany and I was constantly worried about Berlin and France.
Pretty sure the Bid is going to have to drop from $60. Not sure how much less, thinking around $50 right now but need to do some testing as to just how many Chinese units are needed to stymie Japan. $50 vs $59 would be only 3 infantry less; not sure if that is enough of a drop.
Thanks for a really difficult and interesting game!!!

I definitely made some huge mistakes but you flawlessly capitalized on them. It is always an honor to play someone at your talent level; you have greatly improved my skill level over the years. Maybe I will be more careful in the 2025 playoffs… until then best of luck.
