    @Gargantua:

    All I can say is… EPIC and flawless Italy 3…

    Why can’t I ever have it this good on tournament games?

    Because your opponent is having the good dice in my game instead?  :-D

    If things don’t switch up soon, I’m afraid Paksos will pull the plug!

    I hope he realizes he still has a Soviet Union to defend, an India to hold, a China to liberate, and American offensives to roll out on both fronts.

    Of course… I’m fairly certain I’ll be able to prevent all of those possibilities, but Paksos isn’t out of dice yet!

    I don’t think dice can change the final outcome in your game. Italy will get huge and that contribution enough will be enough to hold the US contribution in Europe. Meanwhile, nothing can stop Japan and Germany from grabbing the mainland, lots of income and the victory city they need.

    You can start a new game while we finish our slug fest!


  • I’m inclined to agree, Garg - I don’t think I can pull this back in your game now! I’m happy to concede and re-start if you like?  :-)

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    :(


  • Lol alternatively I can keep going if you like (my play vs Italy has totally shafted my hopes though I feel!)

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    How about - if you can the axis winning before turn 10 - you win!

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    You wanted to -test- and improve your skills with the Allies.  This is your chance! :)

  • '17 '16 '13 '12

    Can prevent the Axis from winning until turn 8 you mean.  :-D


  • I like it - I’ll post my turns up this evening (out for dinner tonight)

    (To set you at ease though, rest assured that I never just quit a game I’m losing!)

  • '17 '16 '13 '12

    Will there be a beer factor involved?

    Allied play is often better with alcohol involved since you must gamble and “attrition” the Axis.

    Are you in Europe Paksos?


  • Yeah I’m UK based. Sounds like you’re both on the other side of the Atlantic, right?

  • '17 '16 '13 '12

    Yes, East coast for me

    As overpowering as it may seem… there are considerably wafer thin elements of this Axis offensive.
