trulpen (X) vs Shin-Ji (A), BM3, bid 7 for A

  • '15

    I’m in a similar position in my other game (where I’m Axis), but I still have hope I can bust out. We’ll see!

    Man, going for Sealion is pretty much always a trap, isn’t it? Really should not have done that.


  • I didn’t intend any Sea Lion, but the threat is good. Mainly it’s about shuffling troops towards Moscow and trying to keep Norway safe. It doesn’t really work out here, but I blame dice. ;)

    I think I need a bit of a desperado for Japan now. I’m so screwed in the Pacific after the FIC debacle.

  • '15

    I was talking about the fact that I did Sealion in my other game! I won handily, and poor Germany has been at the utter mercy of Russia ever since.


  • Ah, I understand. Yes, an early Sea Lion seems to be always bad, unless the Allied player doesn’t have a clue about pressure.

  • '15

    So, did you want to re-do that turn then? In any case, I might not be able to post today - work is killing me.


  • I’m on it, trying to fit in making it. Not sure which gamble I’ll do though; Tokyo or Philly. On a heavy losing streak, so I’m pretty confident I’ll lose anyway. Perhaps a rematch could be nice when the time comes?

  • '15

    I would love a rematch! Do you want to just skip to that part? I suppose you might as well make your play if you think you’ve still got a shot. Happy to switch sides with the same bid, of course.


  • I failed miserably with Axis, so would actually like to try it again. Don’t think we need a bidding process, but what do you think would be a fair bid level considering our level of play?


  • @trulpen said in trulpen (X) vs Shin-Ji (A), BM3, bid 7 for A:

    Not sure which gamble I’ll do though; Tokyo or Philly.

    Sorry, thought of another game.
