@simon33

Oops, sorry, I just say I mis-clicked the build on Germany - should have been 8 mechs and not 8 art. Are you OK if I make an adjustment there?

Assumed you are OK with the edit as it was a pretty obvious one to keep things moving. Please let me know if not.

[Booper]

@simon33

Man, you’re still doing well in the Pacific - every battle except DNG you got 1-2 defensive hits, when usually you needed a 2 to hit. Happened last round too!

np on the edits,

Sorry for the delay. I wasn’t really sure about which way to go on this one until I looked at it after a better night’s sleep.

@Booper said in 2025 OOB Playoff round 1 Simon33(L+40) vs Booper:

@simon33

Man, you’re still doing well in the Pacific - every battle except DNG you got 1-2 defensive hits, when usually you needed a 2 to hit. Happened last round too!

I might be getting the dice but you are still holding off the mighty USA like a boss! I guess with my fifth CV on the way, that might be slowing down shortly and Anzac are going to start making a contribution too.

Nice move, did not realize you had moved the Russian fighters over to Shensi as well, until after the first round of battle!

All of the planes can reach either India or Moscow too and the Chinese can counter attack in a lot of places. I liked the move too.
