@nikola1975 “how good am I with the axis”, I don’t know, there are a few players I can never beat. I do prefer playing the Allies, in all versions of the game. In PTV I think the axis need a good bid.

@666

The end indeed. Congratulations on a forceful come back. I’ll post your win and our new game later today.

Thank you for the game. It was fun. You are the good player. If you want a rematch, let me know. As an option we can reverse the sides with the same bid. GL with your further games.

@dawgoneit Thanks, gg!

Wrong name - please ignore

@pacifiersboard :) we can certainly do a rematch down the road.

Also, thank you for the pace. We started July 1 and we didn’t finish round 8, so thanks for being OK with me being slow.

@simon33 I mean as much from my end :D

Danke :-) Postest Du noch das Ergebnis?

Thread can be deleted!

@oysteilo I knew that attack was possible and likely was a very good option for you. After the first round of getting diced in Africa, I took a risk to get back into the game since I am fighting a superior opponent. I gambled and lost.

I will post.

@karl7 Yes. I know. I could easily continue and japan prolly has a shot at things, I just don’t have the brainpower to play these games right now.

@soulblighter sorry to see you go, but I certainly understand. I’ll claim the game but if you change your mind later, we can return to it and continue.

yes well played by you too. Tried something new this game but you stopped it

I am sorry to learn that, I will claim a win then

Thank you too, gg.

@aagamerz13 gg. Yeah it was a difficult start and its hard for the axis if the soviets can block Germany in Rostov.

One suggestion is that I don’t think you needed to be so committed to Bryansk. If you have the Italians around as a can opener and a lot of German fast movers, you can take Rostov with the German stack and still threaten Moscow. Its hard in those circumstances for the Soviets to stack Bryansk while keeping Moscow secure.

I also think the factories in norway and West Ukraine might not be the best use of money either, at least as early as you buy them. With 6 more mechs coming earlier in the game, I might have had more trouble blocking you.

@simon33

gg. thx!

You are right - I think it is about time to give up. Japan is no monster and Yunnan out of reach - it cannot threaten to win in the Pacific. With the Western Axis falling, the US can use all of its economic power to fight Japan. Japan can just be happy that Russia cannot build a factory in the East…

Congratulations - well and patiently played! I will post the result.
