L20 #1 trulpen (X) vs akreider2 (A+9) BM3

I’m not ok with changing purchases after combat. I’m fine with changing purchases if you have zero combat moves, or have no fighting (dice rolling) in the combat moves. Sorry!

It will be interesting to see whether invading Russia is a good idea, I’m skeptical.

Scramble SZ97?

Yes, it is still a very marginal battle for me as you have a good counter-attack. But my position is to take fights that are even just a tiny bit in my favor (so long as they aren’t too big - and this one is almost a bit too big). And the TUV is pretty good (especially when you add the benefit of getting rid of the infantry and two transports if I win).

Unfortunately this is the kind of fight that could swing the game by 30 IPCs either way.

Well that a bit of a massacre.

So far I haven’t won or lost a game to dice, but there is always the first time!

I do have a game where I took 45% odds on Moscow (with a negative TUV of 45 if I recall, though not including the 60 IPC swing from taking it) because I thought I was behind, and there was a decent chance that I’d win the game and be able to hold Moscow. So I might lose that game, but I made some progress on the Japanese front and still have a 10%-20% chance of winning.
