Playoff BM Giallo(x) vs Sovietishcat(+9)

OOL for north australia sea zone?

@Argothair Yeah, a small balance nod I believe to keep carriers from being ridiculously overpowered. 🤔 Maybe at one point in development they acted the same as air bases? Would be a question for Adam & RegularKid.

i haven’t seen or read any strategies, and all of this strategy talk is above my head. there was one very sneaky workaround to my counter, a counter to my counter, if you will. glad it was not found ;)

the luck so far has been very lopsided, especially with my aa missing 0/15 and london was a complete wipeout. it’s an interesting game, let’s see what happens.

@Gorshak i completed my move, in case you missed it due to our conversations here.

@Martin said in L25 BM Martin (X) vs sunkhareb (L + 35):

I need to play a bit slower, these days. It is the last week in my current job, and lots of cleaning up to be done. And first day in the new job, on Monday. Weekend should be fine. But I think the overall speed is OK. Nice game by the way! :-) I always get in trouble when I take Normandy with Germany. And I should revisit how to get more bonus points with the Axis and how to prevent the Allies from getting them too easily at least.

No worries! I’m not minding the pace of the game I think it’s OK too :) Yes very nice game so far! Surprised I pulled off Normandy and didn’t get in trouble but feel like it’s going to get hard to keep it soon LOL

@AndrewAAGamer Yep. Bad UI. It doesn’t really matter the Germans are completely contained. I just wanted to take a chance to shut down Russia for a bit since I could send 5 aircraft vs 4.
