Thought you might want to nominate an OOL.

[nikola1975]

@simon33

Kill them as the game suggests.

[simon33]

Aa gun first was the main thing i wasn’t sure about

[simon33]

Oh i also assumed no scramble from London

Will continue the combat when i am back home.

[simon33]

Going to concede this game here. The very risky Moscow assault did not succeed. I thought it needed to.

@simon33

Hm, yes. It would be interesting if it went through. Russians had 48 units taking the Moscow back and Germans would be without real power in the east. It would still be very difficult to take 2 cities, while keeping Americans out of Rome and Tokyo.

It was a fun game, in the end, poor Japanese performance decided it.

Last time you said it is extremely difficult to win with Axis in PtV? Do you still think so?

[simon33]

@nikola1975 i am less convinced of that than i was. A game with 666 where i was allies he did a g2 and matched straight in to Moscow, so a move like that needs to be stopped. Although i do still doubt the balance.

@simon33

Hm, I looked into that game now. There was a problem with your aggressive Soviet tactics :) That Scandinavian gambit had to break one time.

When you want to play again, I have time, the only game I am playing now is actually against 666.
