@mikawagunichi Sounds good. What does DM mean? Are you doing the G42 tournaments? If so, which strategies have you used in the past if you have done G42 in the past before. I’m thinking about using a variant of the Middle Earth Strategy that works for G42. I’m just worried it won’t work for a 5-7 round game.

@Jacob16 Hi, sorry for this but I have been feeling a little burnt out of late plus I have school starting soon and want to make the smart decision to stop it here. Thanks for understanding. Feel free to claim the game if you would like.

Congratulations to farmboy!

@Adam514 said in L25 BM4 Playoffs Adam514 (Axis) vs farmboy (Allies+18):

I concede, good game and very well played! There isn’t that much that I would have done differently. There was some unfortunate dice early for me but nothing major.

Good luck in the finals!

There were several things which surprised me. Yunnan & sz111 not being attacked in the first round. Also that you went J1 at all. Not a fan of the attack on the UK BB in sz37 either but that is fairly standard.

Not sure why attacking the US Cruiser in sz101 is such a big swing. Only 2IPC/turn from claiming Brazil. I guess some convoy damage as well. I think there must be something I’m not seeing.

I think this is Adam’s first league loss as Axis, if it isn’t I’m not sure which one he lost before.
