@axis-dominion I had to buy the 2 ABs to make up for not buying one the previous turn. Needed my fix.

@peirce said in L25 PtV axis-dominion (L) vs peirce (X + 14):
@axis-dominion Dunno about that. A Russia earning 70+ on this map is pretty terrifying. And posted up in Yugo, you were threatening 6 Axis territories, and I definitely couldn’t protect them all - that’s a ton of N.O. points waiting for Russia to snap up.
That’s very temporary given my thinning front lines and weak supply lines. At some point I’d have to start skirmishing with heavy units which I usually won’t do, and all the while you’re supply lines are much shorter and stacking on me hard. Anyway I know this from experience being in a string of sea lines lately
-
@axis-dominion Granted, I’m new to the Forum style of play, but I think that if a player isn’t willing to take gambles sometimes, that can be used against them. I appreciate that risk-tolerance has to increase as a player’s situation becomes more desperate, but if I know that someone isn’t going to take a 70% gamble when they’re ahead, then I can commit fewer troops to hold objectives, to use them elsewhere. Anyways, time will tell.

This helps to explain your motivation which from your perspective this was more of a necessary risk, vs how I’m seeing it as unnecessary (more based on my recent direct experience with sea lion games in ptv).

more to say on this later, at my daughter’s soccer game

@axis-dominion Fair enough - this is my 9th game of PTV, I think, so I’ll have to see how it plays out. But sitting in Yugo, you’d be able to wipe out any territory next door, which means I can’t commit too many troops to any territory (or suffer a massive TUV hit), and if I don’t protect the surrounding territories, then Russia is earning 70+. Russia earning more than Germany, and entrenched in SE Europe, is end-game for Axis (at least, it is in BM). From my perspective, I didn’t have much of a choice.
