I appreciate how sneaky you are in setting this up. Your units often look like they are spread out and isolated, but then can all reach the same place. That is, for example, a lot of British units that can reach the Caucasus.
-
@farmboy I forgot to send 2 inf into Holland so there are only air attacking. I’d like to role in game dice for the inf if that is okay. I’ll do so now.
-
I’ll retreat the air I have now so I can access the in game dice and then use that for the next round if needed. If you haven’t seen the dice yet I rolled for a tac and fig and missed and your inf missed as well. So still need to roll for two inf and then the next round.
-
@farmboy so my inf missed and it is round two. I will roll one dice for the tac, then one dice for the fig, than one dice for 2 inf, and then one dice for your inf.
-
@farmboy A tac hit and your inf missed so I will edit after. Obviously, you can say no to this as it was my error. In which case, I would just retreat the air and leave it at that.

see the comments below re an edit I made. As I noted before, I forgot to send 2 inf along with my air into holland and so used in game dice to fix that.
-
Happens to the best of us - sure it’s OK that you made the fix to take 2 infantry in
Thanks for the compliment,
To avoid helping you I can’t say much of anything right now, except that you won’t go away! And Axis is your weak side?!2:08
-
@gamerman01 thanks! I figured it would be okay but don’t want to assume.
Remember how you smoked me a year ago with axis? I’ve been trying to play axis much more carefully than I often do (keeping to one game and slowing it down a bit). And I think I still lucked out here that the first Bryansk battle went as well as it did.
-
That (Bryansk) might explain some of my difficulty, it’s hard to tell how much. Then there was the reprise, too.
Yes I do remember our first game. I recall going back to it months ago because of your success on the boards and I didn’t know why it went so well.
Mainly it was that you had poor early dice. -
It was just that 2/3 AA that realllly hurt
-
@gamerman01 A lot of my success has been with allies. Of course a lot of the skill transfers to the other side. But I think when I played you before (or ghostglider -I lost badly to him with axis around the same time), I felt like I needed to get some practice with the axis.
I thought in those games, because I was out of practice, that I ended up playing in too much of a scripted way, and then tried to hit every target. As a result, I got stuck before I got Bryansk and so effectively lost the games early.
I’ve been trying to apply those lessons here. I made a point of making sure I could get the position I think Germany needs to get (mainly getting through Bryansk) and then still ended up relying on a bit of dice luck.
-
I guess it could have been over for you with poor dice on the first attempt to slide by my Moscow, but it didn’t happen and I’m having a whale of a time even though I’ve “brought it” - trying to figure out why I’m not 50 points ahead (2016 USA national politics reference) 😝
