15L Adam514 (Axis) vs Rasmustb (Allies+22)

@Adam514:

@Rasmustb:

Wow a DOW J1… Interesting!

I’ve never lost with it, and I do it all the time  :wink:

Scheisse! This opener requires some thinking. So many interesting opportunities/gambits  :-)

Hopefully I’ll have it out within 12 hrs

now im going to bed

No it was J2…

I’ll take the necessary time but I’m eager to get this one going. Very interesting with J1 and what seems to be hard core barbarossa. Max pressure from the get go

I’m still hoping to get the turn out tonight

Now I need scramble orders for sz 112

Rasmus has the balls to put his Russians/Indians at stake at Yunnan.

I didn’t have the balls at round 1 to give you 98% and -9 average TUV. Still undecided whether I would change my mind in future games when playing Allies in a top competition. I am used too much to just not go any risks and wait for my opponents to make mistakes.

So lots of tension in this game from round 1. Good luck gentlemen!

Chinese/Indian

Thanks!

Thought long and hard on this one and concluded that an avg. battle would be ok, good battle for axis survivable and good battle for allies very bad for the japanese. I havent tried it before and Im not sure my conclusions are correct :)

@JDOW:

Chinese/Indian

Oh and the russians were ready to step in as well but Im not sure they are needed now since China didn’t loose a single inf retaking Yun…
