12L - Botider (allies +11) vs EB (axis) game 2

oh, i don’t blame him a bit. it was an aggressive, gutsy move. really, after his lousy dice on G1, i was pretty much expecting this, and figured on 3-4 tanks in caucasus, best case. i never dreamed there’d be 7 of them. but that’s to his credit… he took a chance. no fear, no favor.

nice move, EB. dice luck or not, it worked and now you’re the driver’s seat. tip of the hat.

i don’t blame him either - if it keeps working, why stop?

exactly. although this strat has been around for a while, and is usually fairly easy to defend against, if you get the dice and can hold it, it sure tips the game dramatically. i just felt like he really had no choice after his G1 - he had to do something, or the game could have gotten away from him quickly. the italian result was very positive and gave him a serious chance to take caucasus (about 70%), but my poor defense really has him sitting pretty right now. sometimes you gotta gamble…

mercy,… your dice are sizzlin’ today! help!  :wink:

yeah I have been lucky. After G1 I thought I would be surrendering shortly.

yeah, I was feeling pretty good back then.  :-D

major regrouping…
