At the end, I frequently forgot the German bomber.

The idea behind Poland was that it is 3 IPCs and I was about to get all of the Soviets money. With a glut of cash

I’m not sure I agree 100% with the landing of the fighters. It’s always a trade off between coverage of the map, opportunistic attacks, and attacks that must be made. Then there are failed attacks resulting in crappy places to land aircraft. Of course there was some carelessness but not in all cases.

Massacre!

As if you all couldnt find the pattern. ^_~

When games are finished, contact your opponents and send me your bids, please.

I am going to have to call this game for Dutchman.  It’s been 18 days from the opening round.

Thank you TDJ. Good Luck in your other games.

No problem.

This has to be fun. If you don’t have enough time, then you can’t have fun playing.

Best of luck to you in your future games.

@Yoshi:

As you said, the battle of Ukraine of R2 was a very big problem, and I guess a good part of the game has been played there. I have no idea if making this attack was good or not, since after all you had the possibility to retreat which kind of make up the lower odds ; but I believe you made a big mistake by rolling a second turn there ; of course, you were not supposed to be diced like that, and that’s really unlucky ; but after the first turn you had no more odds of winning, and in average you had nothing really nice to win…

It was a gamble.  Against the best player on the site I wanted to take a shot when I could.  If I get lucky it is a big advantage to me.  It backfired, and the only way I could get back into the game again is if you let me, and you didn’t.  Again, very well played

That was a pretty sick defense in Poland.  Those fighters are some serious aces.  Tough dice for the Allies on the Europe board there on that round.

Good game Lindy.  You are an excellent AA’er. Thanks for the match.

Cheers

not sure about that but thanks

yes, i think you played that very well, but i don’t think that the axis game is that easy against a good russia player, i like your tactic though and you played it very well, with different dice here and there it could’ve been a very different game - am curious how it would’ve developed if the dice would’ve been different the last round and a half, it would definitively have relieved most of the pressure on germany, but russia was so strong, so don’t know

yes, it works very well i think, don’t think i’ve seen it before

Yep good game, Germany got ugly quick and after that it got tougher for you and you didnt get any dice to save you.

Thanks for the game.

@Boldfresh:

but you also made no major blunders and played solid and conservative, which was smart given the opening round dice.  good luck against Yoshi.

Thank you. You are right in saying the dice were out to get you. It seemed like all my destroyers were killing planes while they were sunk.

Thanks, SAS, I enjoyed the game and appreciate your sportsmanship
Wish you the best in your G40 advancement

Ok, thanks for the game!

I’m at work, so I cannot reflect this on the official thread just yet, but due to lack of response from i Rock, both in PM and in this thread, I’m declaring NoMercy winner and allowing him to continue on to the next round.

Good game guys.

RD vs. Winner of Gamer/Yoshi for the title.  :-D

I resign-well played game

let’s try a last up…

The dice were definitely against you lately! Good game!
