15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

  • '15 '14

    mhhh. If that sub at 96 would have won, I would have said we are kind of okish in terms of dice because that would have given me 2 extra ground at Europe.
    Now I guess the only good thing after G1 I can look at is that I can be relieved that 93 did not end up in a disaster^^

    Lets see what the next turns bring^^

    I have guests over the weekend, cannot say when G2 will be done.


  • Will try to get ANZ/Fra done, but need to leave soon for the rest of the day….

    Hitler was busy with private matters over the weekend till today, so he told his troops to hold until he has more time.

    Sorry for the delay, I guess G2 is coming tomorrow.


  • This Hitler is a lot weaker than the one I remember!!

  • '15 '14

    Oh boy, that Hitler is stronger than ever, Germans still on fire. UK fleet entirely whiffed in 97, that sea zone creates crazy dice this game!


  • You suck
    Robbed again
    The longer you wait to play, the better your dice.  It’s not right


  • Let me get this straight.  0/3 AA in France.  Couple infantry to spare in Paris.  0 hits in Yugo (yes I got one now).  0 hits in Z97.  My great UK1 pretty much nullified.  Pretty good chance I quit right now, call it a dice game and save face.

    I agree that this entirely turned the dice back to after Ger1.
    Especially as UK took off 3 aircraft to force the Germans to air strike 97, now in hindsight for nothing.

    Lets see what happens on the other site of the map this turn.


  • Yeah well this sucks
    I’ll run Russia since it’s not too hard, and then you’ll play a conservative Japan and not lose anything and then I’ll kick the board


  • The only plane you lost was to a Rome scramble.  This is pretty much unbeatable


  • It’s not back to where we were after G1.  It’s a lot worse


  • Your sub hit in 113 and I couldn’t even take over WUK with 2 infantry and a fighter

  • Assumed a sub in 113
    Just destroy me on J2 so I can be done with old 2nd edition and stop playing 2 different types of games at the same time.  I’m done with 2nd edition.  Stupid Russian NO that’s all or nothing and can all be stopped by a sub that the Russians can’t do anything about

  • '12

    This is so ugly

  • '15 '14

    Looking at J2 now, hope I can post tonight, however wife is quite impatient at the moment :-/

  • '15 '14

    Events are mirroring this turn. Perfect Germans followed be slightly below Japan.

    You took off 4 planes at my airstrike at sze, however Yunnan went very well for me, there was also potential for failure.

    looking at NCM now.
