@VictoryFirst I’ll do another…let me know when you’re ready!

@DoManMacgee @kwaspek104

I did the German turn and then the power cut out so there is no save.

Its okay bc the Germans got killed everywhere. Blown out of Libya - cut up bad in France and most the blockers hit elsewhere.

I’m good, gg I concede. Those first three turns are just so damn critical…

@VictoryFirst I will have our game started in the next 24 hours

But of course!

@kwaspek104

Ill keep my bid of 4 in Leningrad

the first three turns were friendly to the Germans as regards dice and then flipped in the later game. The Germans also repelled two attacks on two consecutive turns (turns 2 and 3) in Baltic States and Leningrad respectively.

I feel this was mitigated to an unknown extend when a similar fate occurred to the Germans two turns later. At any rate, the moscow fight opened on G8 at 80% German if they suffered no AA hits and 70% German if they suffered a single AA hit.

Berlin was still hovering around 0-1%. The fight that appears to matter is Moscow. Berlin can be managed to a “fair thee well” - or maybe it can be balanced better? not sure. For now the game appears to favor the axis to the tune of 70%ish? Need a game or two with warm dice in the first three turns as the allies to be sure.

@kwaspek104 100%. This game was over somewhere before this battle…

@VictoryFirst

same sides. My bid is going to be 4 inf in Ukraine

@VictoryFirst yeah lol, Surprise Sealion!

@kwaspek104

I think I will concede here. Lets go again.

@VictoryFirst

I accept the lebensraum given by Russia and the unconditional surrender of the allies.

My bid will be 2 inf malta and 2 inf belorussia

@kwaspek104

Yeah I am not sure either if it were dice that caused Germany’s loss or the too many units you sent to the Middle East lol. Probably a mix of both. I think the Germans should be able to win every game unless they get insanely diced. Take a look at my 3rd game against Ragnell, there I got completely curve-stomped as the Allies lol. Here is a link: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/41241/ragnell804-germany-vs-victoryfirst-allies-original-europe-game-3/17?_=1727726657073

However our game proved that the Allies can still win. We need to play more of these games before any of these questions can be answered. I think at the moment the best Allied strategy is a mix between fighters and transports, after my game against Ragnell I’m probably leaning more towards transports than fighters as Moscow cannot be held indefinitely. It is going to fall at some point and you better get some sort of transport shuck going before that happens.

@VictoryFirst yeah feel free to start the game as Germany
