@farmboy and I agreed on trying a new way of bidding: We will alternately put an additional Allied unit of any type (according to general bid rules) on the board until one of us prefers to play Allies instead

that round went along way towards evening out the dice. I was very lucky there.
-
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/kIn fact, Japan got even on dice. At least. The airstrike plus DOW dice make up for the early losses.
-
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
-
@gamerman01 I believe JDow realizes that and was just making a little joke
-
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
-
@gamerman01 All good. And glad I’m making this more of a challenge than our first game.
-
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.
-
@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 :-)
-
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.

High adventure off the Indian coast

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