Gave it a last ditch effort for Egypt and I was blown away! I was thinking I could bail the armor out if it did not luck out there, lol.

That is fine, I just go to push Germany toward Russia to attack. Italy flopped out this game 3:8)

[Cow]

38:] there got my cow emoticon

[Cow]

I am going to risk take all the way, my odds will get worse and worse, but it just has to come through in the end! LOL.

In hindsight I think I mismanaged a few key pieces. I am not too worried about it, it is not it was too improbable what I was trying to accomplish.

Well played with UK, called my sea lion bluff, got just the right amount of stuff to stop me and you got that bomber buy.

[Cow]

Not too many out there that will take advantage of a good situation.

[Guest]

Actually I quicky came to regret not buying 2bombers and waiting for convoy buy until later. But I somhow felt that the two subs would preform better if you actually tried sealion.

[Cow]

Subs were the deciding factor for me. I did consider sea lion.

If I were to do sea lion, I would want to drop a few on scotland and use italy to bomb uk’s airbase if you repaired it so I would not have to deal so much with a naval battle.

[Guest]

Btw be glad you didnt sealion because Id make the biggest russian mec buy you had seen and then Japan would be with one foot in their grave. I dont have any problem loosing london as long as I take Italy with me to the grave. A good allied player needs to learn that sacrifice is a must. 9inf buy is outdated.

[Cow]

Haha I told Veqryn to use Russian mech on Japan in a game against Garg. At first he did not go with it, he did it a little late, but still within the window necessary for us to win that game.

[Cow]

Thing is if you send russian mech toward Japan, it would have worked, Germany does not have enough air / units to convoy usa or even threaten to take east usa. That would force Japan to desperately move toward the VC count and it would be a quick game ending in me losing probably.

[Cow]

Don’t see any battles so I am going to take my turn, you can adjust non combat.

[Cow]

sub buy is silly in hindsight. I don’t have air to sink the destroyer anyway plus france can block me from sz 125 anyway.  I rather have another armor.

I am just shoving towards Russia at this point lol.

[Cow]

I am playing desperate now. This looks like a quick game, there is no long term thing for me. Maybe it can be since Russia does not look like it will have something going for VCs from Africa and stuff.  Just one infantry there, but you can clear out the 1sies and that Iraq for it so I can’t really plan for it.
