BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

[gamerman01]

Oh, I suppose you meant with 2 hits, that’s your thinking. Still, be careful to assume, I take unconventional casualties and do unconventional scrambles from time to time

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 In this case because you don’t have a counter (unless you use allied air) I figured you wouldn’t want to draw me in. My goal was to take it. But my odds were around 94% so there was a possibility that you would win. And I thought you might be interested in conserving the AA if I was doing poorly.

Not a big deal here, just trying to avert future misunderstandings.

If you did poorly, and finally hit everything but 1 unit, I might have saved the AA and drew in remaining units

The mech would be farther from Russia, and the slow would be 2 spaces from West Germany and North Italy, and that could be a factor too. I generally don’t like giving advance OOL’s, especially when my opponent won’t have to wait long. Sometimes anticipating all the possible OOL’s in advance make my brain hurt and I shouldn’t have to do them - advance OOL’s are a courtesy to the playing player and don’t benefit the defender

[gamerman01]

Woohoo, I got 2 out of 5 hits AND your units are drawn in? Victory!! :joy:

[gamerman01]

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 All sounds fine to me. And I get that an OOL in advance is a favour to the attacking player. I don’t mind waiting. In this case I wasn’t asking for OOL in advance, just letting you know that I might need it once i rolled. I was assuming though that if I had a decent roll, that it was safer to assume a max D situation. I’ll be sure to ask if I think there is any uncertainty, and if I make that assumption in the future and I get it wrong, I’ll defer to you in how we correct that.

[farmboy]

I suppose one could play where they try to soften the allies in Normandy but avoid taking it to keep it French. But that hadn’t occurred to me at that point. I just wanted to take it, avoid using air, and was annoyed that I didn’t have one more land unit in range.

I generally don’t like the idea of keeping Normandy blue. It lets the USA land air there immediately, and it does have a naval base. You can usually keep the US from holding it for a turn anyway. Furthermore, US can collect 5 while only taking Holland or South France if Normandy is French. And then there’s whatever allied units are there… And then, obviously, the 2 IPC’s per turn. That’s a lotta negatives

[gamerman01]

After considering a multitude of factors…

Save the UK infantry

that round went along way towards evening out the dice. I was very lucky there.

[gamerman01]

I appreciate that very much,
At the same time, it seems like I always get smashed on JDOW, and the Americanos took one out!!

I can’t remember having this much pressure on Moscow and India since pre-BM. Already waking up in cold sweats :cold_sweat:

[JDOW]

@gamerman01
Friend, I take that personal. I didn‘t do noting;-)
J/k

In fact, Japan got even on dice. At least. The airstrike plus DOW dice make up for the early losses.

[gamerman01]

It wasn’t a reference to you my friend.

I meant whenever someone declares war with Japan, and hit Hong Kong and the Philippines, it seems like I don’t get my hits then

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 I believe JDow realizes that and was just making a little joke

[gamerman01]

My pace might slow down a little - MrRoboto is supposed to be back, and you’re making this game hard

It’s almost like it’s the championship or something

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 All good. And glad I’m making this more of a challenge than our first game.
