Farmboy (X) vs Simon33 (L+16) BM3

@farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Simon33 (L+16) BM3:

@simon33 I think you may have underestimated what I had available to hit Moscow with. On top of that, I had pretty solid dice that turn.

So it seems. Could really have held on for another turn with a Max D approach. Thought I also calculated that Sth France was risky but that you are likely to pay a price for attacking it. But you did not.

Oh boy…

You have me here. I’ll post.

I feel like I lost this game just in the last couple of rounds.

I think at +16 allies should have the edge. So I am willing to give you Allies at +15.
