@surfer said in L25 Avner (L+9) vs Surfer (X) BM4:
@Avner Still need your email to put into the game to get dice rolls
ok i’ll put it in the allied turn
DM, when you say you think the game ended when I left Asia, what do you mean?
Cheers
I thought that might have been your best chance. Either try and stake a claim in Man (or Fic/Bur) and slug it out there. I Thought it was a very neat move to load up the Russian troops and thought you might make an attack on Japan or stack in SE Asia.
Once you left Russia (which I think was the right move) I thought you were going all out for Japan so once you left Asia I think it pretty much guarenteed the Axis an IPC adv and gave Japan a bit of a breather. Seemed like you moved to a Plan B or C, which is why I asked if you always intended to move the US to the Med. Once you left Asia, I don’t think time was on your side. I feel I can just play extremely conservatively (attack in Sz 15 not withstanding) and just make sure I stack Japan/Ger/Ita appropriately and cover Mos. Germany’s army alone equals pretty much all the Allies put together. I just felt you had a better shot at Japan, then at any place in Eu.
