Stalingradski (Axis) vs. Antholin (Allies) A3 Game 2


  • That was an awesome battle, and I loved your commentary!

    Yes, the dice are cruel. Even with low luck, the gods still punish us, or reward us, based on whimsy. Some day, I’ll accept it…

    But not this day!

    I’m sorry, but looking back on my US purchases, I overspent, and did not place my carrier. So, instead of 2 Fighters, I could only afford 1, along with the Carrier & the remaining 4 will be spent on a Mech. Sorry about that, and here is the updated map at USA turn end.

    Well, that was my last gamble for a VC, as I should have had my Russkies stay put in their respective cities. I cannot gain any more VC’s by rounds end, thus leaving you with 8 VC’s on the European map and victory. At this juncture, I concede and declare you the winner. Congratulations on a game well played and I have learned much from this experience. Thank you for such an entertaining game and I look forward to our next.
