BM3 trulpen (X+3) vs axis-dominion (A) #1

[axis-dominion]

yikes! watch out for that allied air power in Europe!

[trulpen]

Yes, maybe it’s a good time to resign?

Think I need about 10x that bid to give you anything resembling a match.

[trulpen]

But I might just do some last convulsing tries before making the resignation final.

10x the bid, as in 30 bid for axis? Wow that’s a bit crazy much lol, I barely beat you, I mean you made some mistakes that hurt you but I can tell you’re pretty good at this game.

I think contrary that it’s pretty obvious that you’ve totally owned me. 3 IPC for Axis with me against you was a trap! ;)

Like Karl7 told in the forum about you being rusty, for the enlightment of any unwary opponent (that being me):

“Words any challenger to the mighty AD will live to regret…”

no really, you’re actually pretty good, but you can’t be playing your turns too hastily, especially when things get complex with lots of allied air surrounding Europe. and there are certain traps that you should be looking out for, that I can share with you after the game is over.

keep in mind also, that my giving you even a 3 bid goes against the accepted opinion of the masters, that the allies in fact need a bid, not the axis, and that amount so far is centered around 8 or 9. so in reality, it’s like I gave you a 12 bid!

[trulpen]

Might be. You know a lot more about this than I do.

[trulpen]

I just did a silly mistake with Italy. Was calculating 5 moves with air from S Italy and then took the wrong air, namely two from the carriers. Meant to land in sz95.

Would you mind if I change air, restarting the game, but keeping the battle result (losses of 1 US-tank along with 1 italian inf)? Switching the fig and tac for the 3 figs from mainland air base? Makes the odds worse in S France, but is an overkill in both locations anyway.

I’ll post the current position.
