@gamerman01 Indeed! I’m not good enough to anticipate if it was the right move.
It wasn’t, but you can afford about 10 more wrong ones :laughing:
Losing Egypt early is death against a good player, and I didn’t seem to learn that the last time it happened.
@gamerman01 Are you sure? Would’ve been nice to keep a BB etc. but fighting for Egypt is a primary goal for Italy right now, I think. What’s your thoughts?
I think you should have sent the naked transport.
Still, I’m probably doomed with 4 fighters + bomber for them already and just being able to build 3 infantry per turn. I guess all you have to do is take Moscow and Stalingrad and it’s over, I hadn’t even really thought about that yet. I’m doomed
The horrible dicing at Ukraine is probably impossible to overcome
@gamerman01 What do you mean? I had to go with the navy since Anzac and France were in between? If you look at my NCM I first only moved my trannie which would’ve been sunk?
@gamerman01 Yeah that was crazy.
@gamerman01 I do agree that if I can play a steady EU axis game, I will probably make it.
I can’t use it as an excuse, but I think it assured my doom - I can’t hold Russia with a 5 infantry swing, plus losing 2 IPCs, plus Germany buying there immediately.
Oh, you’re right, the german tank would be sunk. I would have waited a turn I guess. Anyway, I’m just happy I can make you pay for German cheese! Unless you decide to use it against Syria?!
Your strong by-the-book play on both sides with no blunders will overcome my frantic efforts to get back in it. No wonder you win against everybody but ghost and trulpen
@gamerman01 Please explain this part, sorry
“I can’t hold Russia with a 5 infantry swing, plus losing 2 IPCs, plus Germany buying there immediately.”
Thanks!
@pejon_88 Oh you mean Ukraine, now i get it!
@pejon_88 I liked your Rostov stacking. One obvious downside to it is that Novgorod forces can assist in threatening Bryansk.
Good point - I just had to stop the advance for a turn I thought, but I’m still screwed. I’m just trying to bait you into poor moves, that’s all I got at this point.
Of course I’m using gamesmanship and playing mind games with every post… :grinning:
@gamerman01 Haha!! To be honest, I am quite confident in my German defense game. I think, currently you are unable to land anywhere safely. I’m gonna double check ;)
