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

[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:

@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.

[gamerman01]

Champ game is gonna have to be top priority, it’s September and the crowds are anxious to see who the next king is!

When it’s my turn I should move on this before the others… I will try to comply with the 3 day rule.

Just didn’t want you to think I was going to take a week per move now. Hopefully my allies can come up with something.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 all good. Looking forward to the turn of course, but not in a rush. I probably will only have time to do Italy and maybe Germany before next week in any case.

@farmboy said in BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X):

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

Yes, this :-)

[gamerman01]

Here’s the interim, after USA complete.

You got a big extra hit in the Pacific but I think I can still hang in there.

At least the AA shot missed - I HAD to fly a plane over it because 96% is absolutely unacceptable in that situation.

The post-turn glance, and I want to land 1 dare-devil fighter on Syria instead of safe TrJ
