14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

[wheatbeer]

Okay, the LL reroll won’t be used to attack Belarus on either I13 or G14. Probably not going to risk that again, especially since Pacific victory should be tougher to attain now.

How long should we pick as the turn limit? If the league doesn’t technically approve we can just have a personal agreement not to bump until we exceed the duration we pick.

[wheatbeer]

I didn’t plan on making Midway part of the deal. If you want to offer the Axis another LL reroll option (two total, same I13/G14 Belarus restriction naturally), then that would be acceptable.

[wheatbeer]

I don’t mean to be a hard-@ss, but in the reason I suggested the end of UK13 is so that we trade error for error (Belarus/Kiangsi … my error potentially game-ending in a delayed capacity, your error definitely game-ending), plus both these errors force us to sacrifice good dice (Soviets in Belarus, Japan in Kiangsi).

[boldfresh]

ok that’s fine - just put em back in midway.

[wheatbeer]

You can move them if it’s worth giving the Axis an additional reroll (if you missed that sentence).

I can see how you might not consider that worthwhile though.

[boldfresh]

ok wheat, i feel like a big chump giving you an additional LL reroll, but i guess, why the heck not.  go forth with the map i posted and TWO LL rerolls  :-o

let’s have some fun.  i know you are probably going to win, but it should be a ton of fun to play it out.

[wheatbeer]

Eh, I’ll probably end up wasting one on something petty anyways.

I felt pretty dumb about not using it on G1 and then even dumber using it on Sydney and just reviving a single unit  :lol:

I’m impressed you’ve restrained the urge to use yours all this time.

@Boldfresh:

Europe is an Axis nightmare and the Pacific is an Allied nightmare  :lol:

I hope I made the appropriate call with Germany.

[boldfresh]

the real question here is how much will russia need to help in china.  i need to sit down and analyze it for a while, will require some real thought.

[wheatbeer]

No rush. I expect Japan will take a fair bit of planning too.
