@fasthard said in L26 BM4 Playoffs QF fasthard(X) vs axis-dominion(L+18):

@axis-dominion that worked as expected ;-)
At least luck didn’t decide here anything ;-).
I surrender!
Caongrats aund thanks a lot for the game. I feel that I learnt more in round one than in all the other games as the axis with J1.

The Italian fleet blunder was stupid and lead me to this all in move to India.

Good luck for the next rounds in the Playoffs.
I’ll follow your games.

thank you, that was a great game! that all-in move did kinda take me by surprise, usually i look out for those kinds of neutral crush surprise moves, but i didn’t think you had enough to pull it off, and i guess it turned out i was right… altho! i must say getting lucky in that big kazakh battle really helped ensure that. i wasn’t expecting that to be a won battle, i was more just trying to reduce down your forces there to weaken a potential 2nd wave, but it turned out to be more than that, which i happily welcomed!

Oh I see why why I couldn’t place the factory. I had accidentally bought an upgrade. Must have been a misclick. Can I get rid of the upgrade and buy 4 inf 2art? I am also buying 2CV. I want to check before rolling any more dice.
