I you want to switch sides and try with the same bid sometime just PM me and we’ll have a rematch  :-)

I would also stack it again knowing what could follow right after. In fact I would get my hawaii naval to midway. to make sure I have an attack at Japan. :)

That was crazy….Hitler decided it was better for his men to die than to surrender lol.

I ran the calc earlier and it was something like 1% for Axis to win with like 45 Allied units left over…obviously Allies did way better than that.

Yeah it was unfortunate that the dices were so lopsided. �Still, it was a very useful game for me cause my Allies needs more work than Axis and I need games like this to figure Allies out.

GG, was fun. �I’ll be up for a rematch sometime this year, but maybe not right away.

GG PGMatt it’s a pleasure gaming with you.

Okay, I’ll spend the bid on a UK transport for SZ71 and the remainder 2 IPC to UK’s bank.

Congrats Yoshi.  Both times you contested the title, you won.  Great stuff!

Hey - GG to you as well. I had some very good dice in a number of places that allowed me to really sock it to the Allies (naval battles, in particular).

Would you like a rematch? Allies again - or switch sides with same bid?

MM

Well, you and I both should stop talking about strategy and the game here.  This thread is for posting game results.

I was happy to be a speed bump. Well played.

The 1/15 was definitely a killer. I was expecting to lose most of the planes.

It’s always enjoyable playing against you (except when you crush Germany :)).

thank you sir……look forward to playing again soon

Wow - I did not even realize that - until you said something. I guess I should have gone after Egypt earlier - but - forgot the official victory conditions…though, I figured getting Egypt was a huge problem for the Allies.

At any rate - GG to you too - certainly a long one - proving that Germany taking Russia does NOT mean instant win. I am almost afraid to review the game to see how many mistakes I probably made - but need to learn from.

I really should try a game as the Allies sometime - though, I am sure I will fair well - if you are up for a ‘casual’ game - since we hit our 3 game max in league play - let me know - I’d like to take the Allies.

Take care
MM

Ya very well played allied game for you

Would you like to play another with sides reversed?

Thanks for playing.

Sorry this one was more an economic victory. The US delayed Germany substantially and ANZAC was too fortified for Japan to end the game anytime soon.

@JWW:

@Zhukov44:

You didn’t quite finish.

Regardless, Axis wins, they’ve controlled 8 vcs since G7.�  GG.

not sure what I did there? Thanks for the lesson.

I was wondering why you were building up/reinforcing France.

I need to be much more aware of the VC’s.

Thanks again. Hope I can give you a better game next time!

Sure thing.  Thanks for the game.

@Gamerman01:

and don’t blame you for taking what I said to be anything other than agreement to play a mirror-image game.

Not sure that even makes sense  :oops:

I mean I can easily see now why you thought I had agreed to a second game flipping sides with same bid

It’s all good

i appreciate the offer, gonna have to practice up some before i challenge you for a real game.

Thanks Snake - I look forward to the rematch. I’m still finding my way with the Allies.

I think I’ll take 3 UK infantry and an artillery in Transjordan.
