BOOM AND DOOM!
Stalingradski (Axis) vs. Antholin (Allies) A3 Game 2
-
It is the can opener effect of the Italian/German mechanized forces. This is our second practice game, sir! I think you’re learning the game at an exponential rate, against experienced and decent players. I wish I could have a drink with you!
If you’d like to stop now, shake it off, and start our first official game with you as the Axis, I’m all for it.

Also - I’m up for analysis of this game anytime. I have some thoughts.
-
No, no. I was just venting, and very mad at myself for leaving Moscow open. I thought I left enough forces there, but I missed the Mechs.
Thank you for being a good sport, I just had to vent a little and I certainly wasn’t mad at you. I really want to keep playing, as I am learning quite a bit. And I’m actually beginning to enjoy playing as the Allies. Thanks again.

Understood re: venting. I spent two straight hours (with the help of a fair amount of vodka) making Steve miserable last time he was here… the luck was killing me, but worse, I left Egypt open to Germany on G4… ugh. So early to make such a mistake. In A&A, I usually find that my best learned lessons tend to be fatal.
And, I vowed to never harangue him like that again… until next time! :evil:
On to Moscow -

Well, at least Belarus is giving your combined forces a bloody good kicking. :-P I’m proud of them.

Germany collects 51 + 15 NO + 31 = 97 IPCs.

That damned Belarussian unit deserves a monument.

And I shall build it, out of scrapped Wehrmacht Panzers, Luftwaffe aircraft and the bodies of those pesky SS bastards.

Well, I’m trying a different method here. We shall see if it works out in the end. But, I like to experiment with odd and what some may call, unsound theories. Hee, hee.

Move some more, and try to make life a bitch for the Axis.

Ooh, I just looked and the end of next turn will give you 8 victory cities for Europe. So, this might end much sooner that I thought. Good game.

Japan purchases 11 Infantry, Carrier, Sub, Airbase = 70 IPCs.

As usual, the balancing act of playing the USA befuddles me and leaves me with more question than answer. And away we go.
