  • Zany dice, makes for a fun game but quite stressful and frustrating when it’s against yourself


  • Some of these decisions for us on R4, hard to tell if it makes much difference one way or another. Have to decide whether to keep going in WUK…

    It may be an unintentional, subliminal mind game on my part, but now I think it was maybe a poor decision for me to attack Belarus at all. I’m also not sure I should have retreated from WUK :hushed: . Well, who knows, it depends on what you decide to do and what the dice say on G5 :man:


  • I am not sure what to do but maybe not the battle in Ukraine.
    Do you scramble sz25 ?

  • Neat move -

    You know I like to scramble in situations like this, but I will not this time, thanks for asking.


  • Yes, i know and this time I hoped for scramble.

  • Scorching offense again for us? Neither side’s AA can hit a low flying blimp - I guess we keep being aggressive then!


  • Well, I got at least a couple of good hits in, can’t complain too much


  • Wow, nice positioning with Japan. This took me awhile.



  • Our game 1 TUV differential after UK4 -
    +720

    (6 months ago)

    This game TUV differential after UK4 -
    +236

    You have improved a lot, rapidly


  • Thanks, but I have very good teacher. You and Trulpen.


  • And nice positioning with UK and USA in Europe.
    I think I will learn something new from you. 8 fig and 1 sub.
    I have to think about that and what to do.
    Italia didnt attack Ukraine, I will loose fig, bomber and 2 Tanks maybe for nothing or loose the battle because of bad dice with germany.

    Thank you, but they still look quite weak to me :expressionless:

    A strange looking buy

    I have to think about that and what to do.

    :grinning:

    Without running the numbers again, I think you were wise to hold off. And look at what you got instead - wow.

    Ran the numbers now. The 1-2 punch would have most likely hurt you a lot, so yes, good restraint there on your part
