2v2 Robert and friend vs Makalakalane and Maxiheimer

Good question… that would certainly have secured the position. I guess it was a lack of coordination between the axis powers…

@Robert Sure!
@Maxiheimer @Makalakalane Thank you very much. It was an entertaining game. As Robert told you, we usually play A&A in person. It is fun but time-consuming and we therefore tend to end it after 10 hours and 1 or 2 big battles, without taking the time to consider if the situation is really over. We really did not know what to expect when your tanks went for Caucasus!

Thank you especially for convincing us to stay. It was very sportsmanlike of you!

@Makalakalane @Maxiheimer @Basile_01 : Everyone fine with using the same post for the game?
How should we proceed for picking side? Bids? Same bids with but switch sides?

Perfect, let me know where you want the units and we can start the game

We too usually play at the board, so this way of playing is something else… i favor playing in person, since it gives a lot more oppertunity to talk strategy with your ally.

Now that you mentioned the japanese fighters that could have strenghtened the german tanks, it irritates me that i diden’t think of it… It could really have changed the game

@Maxiheimer : Adult life made playing the physical boardgame much harder :(

So that’s what happened :( We were certain that the Allies were going to lose two IC (Persia, followed by India). There was no way to survive the tank + airplanes attack

Looks like game is over already!

Wow yeah this is definately a rarity… It will be very hard for germany to recover from this… UK can fly fighters in, so Italy want be able to take it, and then france gets to buy units…

@Maxiheimer We intend to take a swing at it. If it becomes ridiculous, we could always start it over.

@Makalakalane I forgot to send my troops in the Philippines…

Guess it is time to redo this game.
