@simon33

Shoot, I forgot to have my lone German sub attack the South Africa fleet. OK if I just do it and roll it here on the forum? If so, let me know your OOL/Combat instructions for your DD and sub. Or you can roll it as well, and decide your own defense. The German sub will fight until the end.

@Stucifer

I considered the airstrike option. Figured the Russian attack on Finland would be costly and leave Leningrad defenseless to a take over. Plenty of time for regrets.

-9.5 ist schon eine seltene Nummer. Immerhin “nur” in Burma und nicht in London/Moskau

Ich schaue am Abend oder morgen rein.

@Stucifer said in L25 PTV Stucifer (X+11) vs Axis-Dominion (L):

Thanks for the game. Need a little break before taking on a 300-ELO difference again haha.

If you want to try out a low-luck non league game I can play a little more recklessly I’m game.

ok, well good game, and fwiw you fought much like a top tier player tbh, except for maybe taking unnecessary risks with big battles that show a bad avg tuv, imo, but i understand where you’re coming from and there’s always the attacker’s advantage of being able to retreat.
