L24 OOB Stucifer (X) v Crockett36 (L+120)

@crockett36 Your luck has been quite good this game in a few key battles. Still impressed by the Korea attack back in round 4. Then followed it up with a +30 IPC gain vs expected in Caucasus and a huge swing in that 54 battle. Not sure if the Axis will have any steam left, might have to switch to sails and oars!

@crockett36 no need to restart, having a blast here in this game. And can be the first to try out this unique bid. That’s a big win for me either way! 🤓

I can’t remember for sure if I considered sending another mech to Caucasus or not.
Certainly in hindsight it would have been a good move! 😅

I think you’ve made keeping allies fighters out of Moscow fairly viable for another round or two, in my other OOB games it hasn’t been a factor because I find it very rare to satisfy the other 2 conditions.
