Questioneer??? (Axis) vs Vance (Allies)- G40-A3Final- No Tech


  • @Vance:

    Ahhh well I guess I could have put a unit in Smolensk (my bad), but then that would have really just delayed the inevitable for a turn.  I shouldn’t have attacked you last turn; i went on the offensive too early.  Live and learn.Â

    I know what you’re saying about how the dice go around and come around.  It averages out in the end but there is a lot of variability from turn to turn.

    Yeah, position on the EFront is huge.  EPoland is the key IMHO.  Whoever owns it and can lock it down has the advantage.  That’s b/c now it splits the Russian forces and they usually have to vacate the north for the rich south.  Do you use a battle calculator???  I do- got the app on my phone.  I ask b/c it seems like you didn’t crunch the numbers on the EFront before you positioned yourself in Belo.


  • No I usually just go with my gut unless it looks close.  Again, live and learn
