12lL Botider (Allies +6) vs ExtraBilly (Axis)

@farmboy it might still default to something close to what we end up. Both players have to be thinking both that they don’t want to give anything to their opponent and they want to a good position if htey end up with allies. I think that might lead to well placed but low cost units (which along with a fig or two makes the most sense in a standard bid game.

sorry for the spelling, bad connection and silly norwegian auto correct

@mikawagunichi said in 2025 PTV Playoffs Mikawagunichi (X+10) vs Axis-Dominion:

@axis-dominion yeah there was some exciting back and forth there around Egypt, though I think I would have preferred average dice in both battles since you taking Egypt back and killing my planes that I had intended to scramble to protect the Italian fleet was the end of Italy being able to do anything this game. Probably worth losing the other 6 german planes I should have lost when I attacked.

I also strongly considered setting up on J9 to take India on J10, though you could have definitely taken it back, but maybe it hind site weakening India and preventing them from building for a couple rounds would have been worth it. Oh well. Maybe next year.

yeah i was keeping a very close eye on india the whole time, esp after sydney fell as that was probably your only real hope of an axis victory at that point. i was at any time ready to swing air forces from greece and/or moscow in order to ensure its safety.

btw did your bro even start his game vs GD?? i don’t see it anywhere, if it’s not started, might be a very long wait for me at this point

Here the back up scramble file in case you wanted to scramble against overwhelming odds wich I doubdet.
