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.

@VictoryFirst @DoManMacgee @kwaspek104 does anyone know how to lift curses?

I am wondering where that ranks in your scrapbook of extreme moments in A&A history. I guess probably very high 😀

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”.

@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.

-
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.
-
Thank you for the game, GG! Yes, my bid will be the same. I’ll get my G1 out later this day.
