    maybe you have some additional tricks to take me down, but this one looks like over to me…

    @Yoshi:

    maybe you have some additional tricks to take me down, but this one looks like over to me…

    Nope, no tricks.  But yeah that pretty much does it.  I was just going to see if I could do something with all my tanks.  I took a big chance, I was hoping you might go really conservative or something and then maybe I could sneak into cauc or something, but the Allies are just too strong all around.  I never really recovered from that G1.  Oh well, it happens.

    You can go ahead and post your win. 
    Good game!


  • Yeah, the early atlantic dices definitely made this one very difficult for you. At the end of R1, there was only a single german fighter to threat the royal navy !

    I thought you would go all in towards Russia at the beginning. I think it was possible to get a 30% shot at Moscow early on if you were really aggressive.

    At the end, this tank stack was indeed your last hope, that’s why I decided to go for Ukraine with the UK : except horrible dices, that removed the last thorn, and UK could afford to loose some planes.

    Good game. That’s a pity these early dices…

  • Mod

    Yeah, I probably should have taken the shot at Mos when I had the chance but its hard for me to take such low odds (for a major battle) so early.  Given the G start, maybe 25-30% would have been the best I could get, but still I find it tough to make that call so early.


  • I agree
