15L Playoff Rd1: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [5] Adam514 (Allies +27)

My bluff did not work out in the middle east. I wanted to keep you off NWP but stubborn Montgomery offered his troops to be slaughtered.

However, despite 100% odds I am not very eager to attack :-/

Assumed no scramble in 54.

Wow, thanks a lot for the kinds words. Big success and relief to win that game.

As you said in a previous post that you kind of regret how the bidding went, I was kind of content when I had to “just” give +27 to get the axis. I would have certainly also offered +29 if you had offered +28.

However, you trained playing Allies a lot during this season so I was on the other hand not overly happy after the bidding. For some reason psycholgically I feel more pressure when playing the Axis.

And I learned a lot from this game.
I studied the games which you played vs Zhukov and I saw that you improved the Allied game by creating an USA amphibious division with 6 TTs which was able to create a beachhead which almost could not been prevented by the Axis.

Frankly, after round 6 or 7 I had very mixed feelings about the position and was worried that the Germans could collapse at a certain point under the significant US/UK pressure combined with slow and weak but very safe Russians while Japan was strong though but I was surprised how you managed to keep Japan from getting unstoppable early with so little USA investment in the Pacific. I already picked up elements I will implement in my Allies play.

Thanks again for the great game and your great sportsmanship!
