@Avner Good game. Thanks for playing.

I’m not very good at sharing, but I’d be happy to play against you and your friend 2v1! I’m looking for a game of Anniversary. Pretty flexible on the options, as long as there’s a bid and national objectives are on.

@Panther Thank you, sir.

@CaptainNapalm sounds good let me know when you are ready for a rematch!

@CaptainNapalm Yes, please set another one up, Captain, in the next days. This was an interesting game as you made some moves I hadn’t seen before and I probably did some things you hadn’t seen. It will be exciting to see the adjustments.

@CaptainNapalm We rectified that later when we also realized that he hadn’t flew his other fighter back from the previous turn.

@AndrewAAGamer So, a quick debrief.

Attacking Moscow with 6 bombers makes total sense in Low Luck. Would you do that too even with normal dice rolling?

Your 3 transport build in the Baltic is interesting. It costs you $29 to do it (3 transports and a destroyer). However, it saves you $1 for every infantry versus a mech and $2 for every artillery versus a tank. Thus figuring 6 infantry and 2 artillery (I know you build 4x4 however I think that is too many artillery) that saves you $10 a Turn so it pays for itself in 3 Turns and is way ahead in the long run. Plus, it protects Norway which is cool as that is an $11 swing. However, it does slow the taking of Moscow to a Turn 9-10 take instead of a Turn 6-7 take. Have you found it works best in the long run and not so much in a shorter game? Have you seen anyone else try it? Does that fleet ever get blown up?

What about just pushing infantry and artillery out of Germany instead for a long run strategy? That is only one Turn behind your Baltic strategy and you save the $29. Of course, you don’t protect Norway that way.

Your Japan strategy was excellent. I loved the way you built carriers and pulled off planes to keep pace with the US navy build. It took me significantly longer to reduce Japan than I expected. Do you see anything I should have done differently with the US/ANZAC? Personally, I think I built bombers too soon and should have continued with carriers and fighters for at least one more Turn if not two.

Any other thoughts?

@AndrewAAGamer Game is yours! Well played. Thank you for the game.

Thank you. It was great fun and extremely close. I almost threw it away there at the end. I literally had just 1 spare unit to win… sheesh.

I agree I did not see how Low Luck detracted from the game. There was still plenty of luck in the small battles and it was surprising how much Low Luck helped the Allies too. Originally I had thought it would mainly just help the Axis.

I was very pleased by your US strategy. Ted and I just came to the conclusion that maybe a 100% effort by the US in the Pacific might be the way to go for the Allies. As you decimated Japan I am not sure if I misplayed Japan or it was your great strategy. Certainly if Moscow had not fallen early the Allies would have won.

I would love another game. Same sides or switch sides with the same bid; makes no difference to me. However since this is such a distraction lets start next week as I have a big presentation on Tuesday and if we start again I will want to play this weekend instead of prepare for it.

Thank you for a fun game!

@MillCreek

Ouch! Losing by dicing makes you want to point the gun at your face.

But alas… it happens.

No worries Mill Creek… remember, I thought you were winning for the split decision which I guess proved true but for different reasons, i.e. the dice.

I will get up to BC soon enough and beat Canuck12 and Gargantua et al like they were little bare cheeked babies

These chips are dramatically different than the standard chips in the other versions. I think they are a cheaper attempt at saving money by Avalon Hill, but I actually like them! If anyone happens to have them, but not like them, I’m looking to buy!

@Jaybird Out of stock when I checked just now. Thank you for trying to notify me. I don’t know why I got this notification so late.

Maybe its punishment for past misdeeds by FMG? Hopefully those days are done with their partnership with IWNGU.

Anyways, hooray for Gold, Silver, Bronze 2016 patrons!
