Wittmann vs Shin Ji 2nd Playoff FINAL

  • '15

    @wittmann:

    I could not move  the units in Malaya . Have you ever encountered that in BM? Was going to attack your Art in Sumatra with the Ft. Don’t worry. Things looking bleak, I believe. Tht Vichy has cost  me a Bomber amd the UK Tank.

    During the war, the French threw Down their arms when the Allies landed in Africa. Not sure that is correctly represented, therefore.

    No, I’ve never encountered that problem.  And as for accuracy, invading the UK was considered impossible, as was invading Russia!  So that would make an odd game.

    If you want t use edit mode to move them, go right ahead.


  • Thank you, bit the horrors of the negative  results , have shaken me out of the idea!
    The children are in bed, so Anzac will be tomorrow. Goodnight.

    Nice try in Egypt. Not sure I would have done that . Amd I do lots of crazy stuff.

    Eh, had a lot more to gain than I stood to lose!  ABout an 18% chance of winning there.

    Sleep well.

    D’oh!  Didn’t realize I left Romania open.  :-D


  • I was surprised. I was going to tell you and say to cover it, but thought it was no biggy and that you deserved a little nastiness, after forcing this unbalanced BM on me! It might be the difference between capturing E Poland, anyway.
    I would have pointed out a major mis blocking, fro example, at sea.

  • '15

    Heh.  BM is balanced, but it is helpful to have experience with it, I’ll grant you that!

    Nah, I’m not actually complaining.  It’s my job to watch for that sort of thing.

    DId you want to move troops our of Malaya, tho?


  • I Thought I did.  Please proceed.
    I am enjoying the Med , as always. I love the battle there.

  • @Shin:

    Eh, had a lot more to gain than I stood to lose!  ABout an 18% chance of winning there.

    Sleep well.

    Good luck to both of you, it will be interesting to see how this develope! And I think shin ji is right on here with the egypt battle. I am not sure I would have done the same thing either, but at 30-40 % I think these battles often are a “no-brainer” because you create so much nastiness for the allies in many situations. And it isnt really that much of a downside if it goes poorly……I have lost egypt in these kind of battles a few times and it is not nice to deal with…

    Just my two cents


  • I seriously considered putting the Cruiser in 91 too. Glad I didn’t . My 6 unit attack on the three It units in E Africa went badly, leaving me no INf. That prejudiced my chances somewhat. I alslo wondered if my cheeky IC buy, would tempt you to sealion. Is that reaaly not worthwhile anymore? Does the fear of a strong Russia preclude that still?

  • '15

    I find Sealion to be 9/10, a trap.  Even if you win, you lose.  Sure, you take Britain and Egypt, but what then?  At best, you’re holding off Russia.  So you can’t win in the West.  All hope lies with Japan in that scenario.  It was a better option before BM, when the Axis could count on getting more and more money and starving the Allies out.

    That said, I gave it SERIOUS consideration.  You seemed to be inviting it!  My odds were only about 65%, tho, and I wasn’t going to gamble on that.

  • '15

    But the IC buy did make me decide to try to attack Egypt, tho!
