@wittmann:

You are killing me!
I can’t play this BM against a better player than me, without removing any NOs; I realised that straightaway.

That’s the goal, right? :-)

Time to turn the tables and let you be allies?

@wittmann:

I know. Doesn’t mean I can beat you though. You are in a different league to me.
The internet is off in my house for half an hour, do I can have a new meter fitted.

You don’t have to if you don’t want to :)

@wittmann:

I do need a new meter.
I like you; I can lose twice to you. I am not whining, just expressing my realistic judgement on my capabilities vis a vis the BM. If you have the time, am happy to play. Please say when you think I am playing this game beyond any point of realism or fun fro you. I do not concede early; ever. I quite like fighting a losing battle. I am funny like that.

Wasn’t talking about the meter, meant the return game.

I’m not so sure about the return match, I have the feeling the buff on the allies allows them to play a real long game and itm ight be slightly overbalanced, so you might have a shot. Then again, the capabilities may differ too much for you to have a shot, I’m not sure as I haven’t played axis in BM yet.

You’re pretty surely going to lose this one, but Germany didn’t give up in WW2 until Berlin fell, which I never did in an A&A game, so I don’t mind :P
