12L - Boldfresh (allies +6) vs ExtraBilly (Axis)

[Guest]

@Boldfresh:

yeah more than full…  took on too many games, and then took a game with Yoshi on top of it all…  it started to unravel when i gave up the UK to botider when it was empty (missed a trn in z13), then gave up the UK with 48 IPC to OBG, then gave it up AGAIN the very next turn for 50 IPC.  both of those games were easy wins if i was paying attention, i was just going through the motions, and got burned.  i think i still have botider under control, but losing the UK twice in a row against OBG, this time unable to retake with the brits, will have to retake with the americans, will probably be my undoing.

I have been following the OBG game and you are right it was shaping up to be a good one.

add to that the dice have not been my friend for a long time (except against yoshi i got some help, but only after a lot of BAD luck precedent) for example against JWW - there’s another game that was a certain victory, until he got INCREDIBLY and i cannot emphasize that enough, i mean upper 0.06% luck and now he’s maybe got a fighting chance.  and then there’s YOU….   :lol: :lol:

The JWW game results were amazing. The dice can be crazy.

and egypt holds

everything that could go wrong pretty much went wrong, as usual

i was 70-80% to take both egy and pol and got denied on both, about a 1/8 chance of that.  cost me 5 ipc.  but at least i didn’t go for the fleet in z14, i’m sure you would have crushed me there.  at least you didn’t hit 4/4 in pol…  :roll:

NC

lib - inf (alg)

place 6 inf, 2 arm (gbr)

collect 23, has 24

absolutely pitiful, you can’t win a game like this.  the dice have crushed me start to finish.

allowed the italian fleet to escape completely unharmed AND i didn’t get italy.  so wonderful.  add about 70 more ipc to the cost of that last UK move.

I thought for sure the Italian navy was going to the bottom that turn.
