@Gargantua:

@MrRoboto:

haha even the planes out of greece. so mean. well, let’s see, maybe a miracle happens and moscow holds…

I know right? ;)

You know… on a whole things aren’t too bad for you.  You have more units that I do, and have been doing relatively well financially up until this turn.

Yes I just messed up Russia. Somehow managed not to see that you can and will land in Novgorod. After that it was hard to hold Moscow. I’ve done two other live games this weekend. And I’ve lost Moscow quite similar in one of them -> had a big army in Novgorod, which couldnt defend Moscow.

Now I’ve learned that the big stack has to stay between the german and moscow. In the second game I’ve been doing, I had 80 infantry in Moscow. Germany held the rest of Russia, but it wasn’t enough to stop US/UK from getting ahold of Italy and France.

Battle score for attacker is -103

Well jerk off, you got your Miracle in Russia!  Your infantry hit at DOUBLE what they should have.

Must be nice. Cept the game is still over. :P  Russia has been captured, I’m up 21.  You will likely take it back, but it won’t hold.

[MrRoboto]

Yeah well you would have lost that battle anyways, but normally i should have lost a bit more, yes.

I’m sorry for all the edits. I only wanted to post the move to ask for your ool, but that wasnt my only attack move. somehow i messed up the order.

u can do the inf/art edit yourself now

[MrRoboto]

and since you are obviously online, we could do a live game as well, if you want.

[Gargantua]

Live game is a bad idea, I’m running off a cellphone connection on a ferry lol.

This game is over though.  There is now NO WAY for you to take a european victory city before the next german turn, and the European Axis have 8.

We can continue, obviously. :) but this is finito!

[MrRoboto]

oh, you’re right. i totally forgot about the victory condition. this is too bad, since things are starting to get interesting on the western europe front.

yes, of course i would have taken normandy in that case. i just forgot that the game is over once moscow falls, cause u have 8 VC in europe. my plan was for us to take normandy and southern france, possibly even normandy.
with us pumping out 6 units in normandy/france each turn and uk shipping over another ~8 units each turn, you can’t hold northern italy, western germany AND france, all the while berlin being threatened by a 1-2 strike denmark->berlin.

[MrRoboto]

*possibly even norway (with a minor factory there)

[MrRoboto]

Well, congratulation then. You deserved that win.

I made a big mistake with Russia in Novgorod. Other than that, I’m actually quite happy with my play. Maybe there would have been a way to hold Egypt a little longer, but the big german luftwaffe pressure made it hard for me to support egypt with transporters. i’m also a bit unsure about my india gameplan, but i think india cant do much more than just holding on.
with a solid russia play there would be ~60 inf now in moscow, denying you the win. and i think since japan will lose hold of the DEI now and italy getting convoyed in africa, i would have had a very good chance at winning. Well, it was a nice game, thank you very much for that.
