16L G40 Balanced Mod 2.0 Axis-Dominion (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis) - Axis bid 6

[axis-dominion]

so you are taking a big chance with your navy?

[Shin-Ji]

I wouldn’t call it a big chance - I do have the blocker.  But yea.  If dice favor you, things could get ugly.  Such is life!

nailed it the first try LOL

[Shin-Ji]

Oh GOD DAMNIT!

That’s the third time I’ve forgotten about that stupid Russian sub!

[Shin-Ji]

Well, that’s game!  :-D

[axis-dominion]

@Shin:

Well, that’s game!   :-D

oh haha…i didn’t know you forgot, thought you just wanted to take a chance. i’m ok if you want to redo your noncom

[Shin-Ji]

Nah - it was still a good move.  Sometimes you gotta take a chance.

But between that sub (clear out what, 3 separate blockers) and Popeye, it just wasn’t gonna happen!

I’m very much up for a rematch.  Maybe we should be bidding away Allied NOs instead of doing a normal bid.  What do you think?

yah i’m down for a rematch. not sure i’d like to change the NOs, i think they are well balanced to be honest. after much more experience with BM, i’ve come to the conclusion that it really is pretty evenly matched.

[Shin-Ji]

Alright, so I’ll be allies this time, then?  Works for me.  Let me know when you need my scrambles.

Truthfully, it’s so difficult to separate bad play and poor choices from actual balance issues.
