13L G40 Boldfresh (Allies +12) vs. Me1945

[Me1945]

You left me 3 units less in Bry as it should be on average.

[Me1945]

will be amazing if i’m able to win this one after leaving most of my
russians in bryansk to die.  got this game confused with another one
of my 8 or so games.

Yes, I did not really understand that maneuver around Bry. But, I am not in your head.

[boldfresh]

yeah, probably was a long break between moves and then coming back got it confused with another game.

nice strat Me, i haven’t really faced this little tricky maneuver before.  sacrifice the jap airforce to take out europe - should work nicely.  would not have worked if i hadn’t left the russian stack in bryansk though.  when XDAP starts back up, i’m going down to only 1 game…  10 games just scrambles the brain, as you can obviously see.    :lol:

[boldfresh]

here’s a spot where the yunnan bid actually hurt me, caused me to put the game on autopilot thinking there was no way you could beat it.  but enough mistakes by the allies make it beatable - namely leaving most of the russian army to die helplessly  :-P
