I am sorry about this. I must admit, I have never been luckier in an axis game. I feel for you, as I’ve been down that poor dice road before (although, not as bad). When the dust settles, I hope we can have a friendly rematch.

As you can see, since Germany did not take France and they lost 2 air units, I was planning on loading two french units onto the UK transport, which would bring up to 4 additional units into UK if you did not at least try to stop me. Clearing Algeria would have permitted the German airforce to destroy the fleet off of Gibraltar. (On a side note, I had this occur to me and I failed to clear Tunisia. France counter attacked my surviving Italian tank with 2 inf (Mor+Tun) and won, thus preventing the fleet assault.) You however, did attack Tunisia and that would have made any counter attack of Algeria unlikely. Your move was a good one, and had a great chance of success.

Unless the German fleet moved to block my access, UK is going to get 4(or 3 if you hit in the final round) more land units, and that could have delayed a successful sea lion until round 4 or later.

I understand your frustration and wish to play you again,

James

I guess I’ll just send Jen a PM to report the outcome of this match?

I’ll do my best to win this tourney for you!  :-)

Game over.

JamesAleman proceeds to Round 2 Winner’s Circuit.
Whitmann proceeds to Round 2 Redemption Circuit.

Would one of you two upload a “completed” map? I’d like to post the finished game map for others to do their intelligence.  Sort of even out the playing field a little between those that have time to scour the boards researching their opponents and those who would do it if someone compiled the data for them.

I reconstructed this combat move map from written instructions:

Here is the final map, shows results of those battles completed and most of the battle of Algeria.

The game ended during the conduct combat phase, not all battles were completed or resolved.

Hope that helps,
James
