You also under-perform exactly 1 2/3
I probably have to quit now, let’s see
-
@gamerman01 I thought you were going to stop after one round and I was going to say that we will have to see how it all looks after. It is definitely a big set back for the allies, but maybe not game decisive. I felt like I had no choice but to go for it because if I didn’t get Bryansk now, I was not going to get it, I thought. And I figured your position was good enough that you might not be willing to gamble on this.
-
@farmboy We will have to see after 2 rounds but that might be more of a problem for the allies unless the trade was fairly close.
-
I don’t think it’s as big a gamble as you thought. Probably going another round, hang on
-
I understand feeling forced - I don’t think I was here, but nearly.

The AA was brutal

I understand there is a good chance that you would win or only lose in a way that is pyhrric for me. So if you went for it, the most likely outcomes were an allied win or a weakening of both sides that will favour the Allies longer term. But a more decisive axis win is a possibility too. And I figured you might not want to risk that because the allied position on the board is pretty strong.
-
Looked like a lot of red but you underrolled by 2
Probably can’t go again, but you’d better believe I’m going to check
-
Indeed it is strong. The numbers on 2-3 rounds were quite good. But once you’re in, I think I gotta go until it risks Moscow. Really enjoy the comments
-
I absolutely can’t let the Germans walk by Moscow with those odds. Germany has all the options and the allies don’t. You have to whack their stack. I have no doubt you made the right decision moving into Bryansk. You might have risked taking it with the Italians, though.
-
OK, now’s the point where you absolutely can’t keep going. Now it’s just a matter of how much you exploit and are aggressive, and how much you stay home around Moscow.
-
I can say this since I just lost 2 planes, all of my infantry, and some of my artillery:
Japan does have a very big problem in the South

I appreciate that. And I’m not surprised you went for it. And on top of the close odds, you also have the benefit of the good early trades here given the breakdown of units. But I thought I had to go for it and was hoping you wouldn’t, (or you would and the dice would go my way) And Japan’s situation is another reason I had to do it too.

Completely agree
Doing a post-mortem now
