@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.

what a disaster that was- i thought i was in local was not trying to roll there. oh well, another interesting twist i guess.
-
hang on, i need to noncom edit. totally was not ready to do my move, was just planning…

Frustrating…. ugh

please feel free to repair/purchase with your money if you like. I notice that you did not purchase anything…

Right no intention of rolling. I always plan the move before buying. Happens to me a few times a year usually when rushing.
-
hadn’t done any calcs at all. probably will turn out i shouldn’t have made any attacks and just holed up in moscow.
-
you can change your complete turn if you like.
-
that’s a tough one…… this russian turn was so beneficial to the axis assault on moscow i don’t know how i could feel right taking it back. i am 100% certain i would not have done what i did once i had time to plan the move - i noticed on the first roll and should have stopped right there. just a really bad job by me.
-
i probably would have used the ftr on the jap tank with inf, mech and landed it in nov with some mech cover. then i would have likely used the uk bombers and a mech on rostov.
really frustrated with myself right now. but it’s not a big deal, it happens. once i realized i had live dice i just kept going so really we should just keep them. sorry for the hassle - just go with the map as it is.

Thank you for the generous offer though
