  • Sorry, I’ve been a little slow the past day or so. Partly it was due to me being a little busier than normal. But I’ve also wanted some extra time to think and hoping inspiration would strike. I’ve taken a real hard look at the map trying to figure out what if anything I can do to pull a win out of this mess. But I’m not seeing it. Not unless you suddenly started playing like the triplea ai, which you haven’t been so far. Or I get really really good dice for the next 5 turns, we’re talking never missing on anything at all.

    You have an 800 TUV advantage, a you’re poised to take Moscow as early (err late) as G22 if you make the right moves/purchases, and I don’t see myself getting any traction anywhere. I might MIGHT be able to take Novgorod the turn that Moscow falls . . . but then you’ll just kick me right out of there and that’ll be that. And even if that miraculous occurs and I you fail to take Moscow . . . you’ll just be able to rebuild an army while Russia will make 3-5 ipcs/turn. 5-6 turns ago I thought I saw a shot to get this game back on an even keel. But I never was able to really close the gap.

    I hereby surrender and request a third game. My bid is 12 for the allies Tech or NT. Bid limit of 1 unit per terr.


  • Oh and I’ll post.


  • Seth - good game to you too. As you see - I tend to play, it seems, too timid as the Axis in order to knock out the Allies - but, in this case I guess it worked.

    Let’s go with game 3 - I’ll bid 11.


  • Ping…


  • I’m moving in my active games now. I want to take a look at the first couple of turns of your axis opening before I bid/accept your bid.


  • Being sneaky, are we? :)


  • I forgot how lucky Italy was early on. That transport living in sz97 and then in Egypt itself . …  or even TrJ that let you bring two more dudes into Egypt. I probably shouldn’t have placed that minor in Egypt on UK2 though after how badly I did in sz97 on UK1.

    Was I axis the first game? Or have you played axis both times? Tech or NT? I asked earlier and you didn’t respond about it. And 1 unit per terr acceptable to you?


  • I think I have been Axis twice if I recall.

    No Tech is fine. And yes, one unit per territory is also reasonable. Yes - I had a very fortunate I1 to be sure…and that snowballed…


  • In that case, I’ll play the axis in game 3 and will accept your bid. Where would you like your bid?


  • 11 bid - I will go with a sub off egypt, an rtl in alexandria and 1 IPC to the UK (europe)
