16L Playoff BM 2.0 JDOW (Allies) vs rubioton (Axis+10)

@JDOW:

Well, it was 0/8, so nothing special and one plane more or less wouldn’t have made a difference. The game drifted away early when I was not able to get a grip anywhere nor did I make big money and Italy got too strong.

Let’s gamble for a couple of turns but this should be a fun one for you.

Hi Tobias,

I think the game is not unbalanced yet, maybe with your skills you could see it more clear. I’m spending a lot of time each turn to see how to move my troops, trying not to do big mistakes in my defensive positions.

On the other hand, I agree about the economy and your perception on Italy.

Let’s see how things go in a couple of turns, it’s very challenging what you are proposing me each turn and not that easy to handle.

Cheers José

@JDOW:

Sir, 2 things:

1. I really forgot to take Guam with US, I hope you allow

2. The last round fig vs inf was a missclick, there was no point to fight after I took the arty off.
I hope you allow the edit.

This battle was ridiculous enough. 99% battle fails, not only did I have to lose, air, I was not able to take the territory. Also the total US whiff in sz96. That game now certainly favored the Axis dice-wise but the pity from my end is that I am afraid it hasn’t been decisive. Even if I take Burma everything is just a matter of time.

Maybe this just shortens my misery.

Bringing this to the bottom.

You can make those changes, it’s easy to forgot a landing where there aren’t any defense troop. And the fighter in Burma it’s worthless continuing attacking if you’re not going to take the territory.

This round you had dice slightly below the media except in Burma where it was a disaster.

As I said before this game is very challenging for me and I have to be pretty sure in not making any big mistake, to not loose my options

Cheers

@JDOW:

Btw: are you up for a rematch with same sides?

Hi Tobias,

Yes I’m. You have played a great game, as I said before, very challenging. I’ve spended a lot of time making up my next move. So let me set the next playoff game and I will post you when the rematch is setted (suppose the same bid?).

I agree with you with the Italian combat in Bryansk, wasn’t decisive but, helped Germany in making Middle East for  one or two rounds before.

Cheers Jose
