Interesting. I did not receive an e-mail that you had gone so I made a NCM edit this morning and reposted. However, you correctly point out you did go so I will remove the edit. Sorry about that.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Cool, thanks! At DnD session now. Will go late tonight or tomorrow for sure.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in L24 OOB AndrewAAGamer (X) vs ArthurBomberHarris (L+59):

Very well played

Well, not sure how well I played. You made a major mistake that got me back in the game. If I had not taken Moscow you would have won for sure. As it was it was neck and neck so just think how bad it would be without Germany getting the Russian money and if Russia was still dropping 6-7 units on the board every Turn.

Your Chinese money Bid idea was really terrific. Not sure if there was another way I could have tried to deal with it but it definitely hosed Japan for most of the game. You were able to basically ignore Japan for the entire game with the US; I don’t think you ever spent more than 33% of your monies against Japan. That meant there was a TON of pressure on Germany and I was constantly worried about Berlin and France.

Pretty sure the Bid is going to have to drop from $60. Not sure how much less, thinking around $50 right now but need to do some testing as to just how many Chinese units are needed to stymie Japan. $50 vs $59 would be only 3 infantry less; not sure if that is enough of a drop.

Thanks for a really difficult and interesting game!!!
