BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

@farmboy so my inf missed and it is round two. I will roll one dice for the tac, then one dice for the fig, than one dice for 2 inf, and then one dice for your inf.

@farmboy A tac hit and your inf missed so I will edit after. Obviously, you can say no to this as it was my error. In which case, I would just retreat the air and leave it at that.

see the comments below re an edit I made. As I noted before, I forgot to send 2 inf along with my air into holland and so used in game dice to fix that.

@gamerman01 thanks! I figured it would be okay but don’t want to assume.

Remember how you smoked me a year ago with axis? I’ve been trying to play axis much more carefully than I often do (keeping to one game and slowing it down a bit). And I think I still lucked out here that the first Bryansk battle went as well as it did.

@gamerman01 A lot of my success has been with allies. Of course a lot of the skill transfers to the other side. But I think when I played you before (or ghostglider -I lost badly to him with axis around the same time), I felt like I needed to get some practice with the axis.

I thought in those games, because I was out of practice, that I ended up playing in too much of a scripted way, and then tried to hit every target. As a result, I got stuck before I got Bryansk and so effectively lost the games early.

I’ve been trying to apply those lessons here. I made a point of making sure I could get the position I think Germany needs to get (mainly getting through Bryansk) and then still ended up relying on a bit of dice luck.
