@MrRoboto:
Wow that battle indeed was insane.
Not only did you score significantly less hits than usual, I also hit more than usual. I really feel you here, bro - you just can’t believe it when you see these dice.
Which other battle has been diced, though? I can’t remember, this game is so long g
Japan got smoked 2 or 3 times trying to kill the Russians. Not a huge deal but it allowed ANZAC to get huge and ultimately kept Japan from becoming a monster (see all of my other games when I’m the axis).
Also, the first time I took Moscow I should have kept enough units to keep you at bay but rolled way under like I just did.
Taken individually, none of these were huge deals, but collectively they set me back on both sides. Add to that a fairly error free game on your part then we get to where we currently are.
@MrRoboto:
I really thought, you might have intentionally dragged this game so that it counts for 2014. Maybe so that your PPG for this year doesnt drop or something. Cause I would have conceded something like 10 turns ago in your shoes :-)
Nah, I think I will probably take a break after the deadline so I would like this one to end before then. I have 4 games on the go right now and will probably concede at least half of them - I don’t really care if I make it into the finals, but I should have the win% to stay in.
To be honest, I figured this game was over once you retook London - I thought I could take it back but miscalculated. For then on, I have kept playing in part to see what I could do to get out of a difficult situation and also because I wanted you to get the win clean.
All in all a fun game. I started 3 other games around the same time as this one, all as the axis. I tried different strategies for all of them. Let’s just say the other two ended quite a while ago :)
I will try to get Japan out quickly tomorrow and hopefully we will have enough time for you to take Berlin before the deadline (I am happy to give you that option if we don’t make the deadline, but I will concede before so the win counts for this year).
