XDAP-5 AllWeNeedIsHank vs Cannibalized by Fluff

Intercept in Moscow?

@Boldfresh:

DO IT!!!

Sorry to disappoint, but there will be a battle for a capital within the next round. The question is which battle do my opponents want the final battle to take place in?

            Objective Germans 2 Control Novgorod Or Volgograd Or Russia: Germans met a national objective for an additional 5 PUs; end with 62 PUs

Well, if I planned this out right, you have a couple paths to victory. You can win by defending Moscow, or by attacking Berlin (or Western Germany which might not result in an immediate win). In either scenario you have a very good chance of winning, but there is a small chance (10-15%) that things go horribly wrong and you lose Moscow and the US air force. If you do not commit the US air force to one or the other, Moscow will likely fall and the game will continue. Choose wisely and hope that you don’t get bit by the dice.

I officially rule in favour of the allies.

That said, if both parties want to continue, by all means…

Thanks for the ruling Garg.

I’m in the middle of a handful of games, so I don’t want to spend much more time playing this one out. That being said, I do want to give you guys the opportunity to attack Russia so so I’m up for playing at least until then.

@allweneedislove:

i would still like to play this game out until fluff feels the game is over. if you do win, i would be happy to give up our spot in the next round.

but i am confident that will not happen.

in the mean time we will start our game when the adjudication of ancients vs death by dice is complete.

bravo!  :-)

Hopefully Japan’s turn will come this evening. If not, I’ll probably just post the turn that my teammate sent me by e-mail around 9pm EST. I have no intention of prolonging this any longer than it needs to go, but as long as there is an opportunity to roll enough dice to turn the game around, I want the chance to throw the dice. Besides, everyone likes a game to end with the stacks coming down  :-D

just to be clear, i meant bravo to his desire to let you make the attack and if you win, he will bow out of the tournament.  not bravo that the game was going to be over.

Like I said, everyone likes to see the stacks come down.

@DeadTom:

Like I said, everyone likes to see the stacks come down.

Does it make me a bad person that I would rather see your stack come down while keeping my own? :)

Feel free to edit your casualties from Japan’s turn.

This is bad luck compared to what’s coming. I’ll probably have Italy out before noon tomorrow.
