Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

@Credulous:

Hi Seb - are you swapping mechs and art for 2 more DDs as well?

M

Yes, my liege!

Sorry for all the edits… I must say playing Allies requires quite an effort on aligning strategies.

While Axis are nicely divided to Europe and Asia, the Allies must really put their heads together to make sure their strategies and moves work out fine. Else they will be picked off by axis one by one.
See how good it was that UK / China and Russia worked together in China against Japan. Would not be possible if they were divided to to different players who don’t plan together…

Did you just change your purchases, after dice were rolled? Can’t see when you said you were changing. I thought we did not do that. Or did I miss something?

@wittmann:

Did you just change your purchases, after dice were rolled? Can’t see when you said you were changing. I thought we did not do that. Or did I miss something?

We can leave it as it is. Would just be fair if we do that too.

I spotted the need to change as I was doing non-coms, but thought I should probably leave as is. My change of heart to not sticking with the original purchases was caused by reminding myself of all the Seb and Mark shenanigans after posting of turns.

The post re the change was probably in the middle of combats - I am not sure? But the changes were regardless of the dice - as you can see those battles were irrelevant to the purchases.

But if anyone wants to put them back then feel free to do so. Not that worried. Just thought we were having an easy game in which the axis were tolerating all sorts of allied rethinks.

Really not a problem if anyone wants to undo those edits. :-)

Lets take it as the game is now and move on. ok?

Oh - and I came back to the thread to let you know that I am now away until Monday, by which time Moscow will have fallen to witt’s military genius.

@Private:

by which time Moscow will have fallen to witt’s military genius.

Did I miscalculate the odds?

You underestimated his genius Elrood. It is easily done. He hides it so well.

I was referring to the English change of Ground to two DDs . Not yours, Adam. I saw your post, pre combat.

Yes it was all a bit chaotic and you already downloaded and moved.
