15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

@JDOW:

US Marines started great in Phil, but the rest was a so far typical attackers round. Still no break for the Allies.

That is sick, man.  Not a single plane downed from my gambit in China and as I feared my good luck on UK’s turn is once again nullified.  What can I do

@Gamerman01:

@JDOW:

US Marines started great in Phil, but the rest was a so far typical attackers round. Still no break for the Allies.

That is sick, man.  Not a single plane downed from my gambit in China and as I feared my good luck on UK’s turn is once again nullified.  What can I do

Well, I can get lucky with UK/ANZAC again  :-D
If I complain, I’d better acknowledge when I get good luck -
The Italians have not had very good luck all game if I recall correctly
2 tanks for a Russian mech - that’s a good break for me
Turns out taking over Bryansk was huge.  But will the surviving arty hit anything?  :-P

@JDOW:

I was wondering: In case there would have been 2 tanks in Rostov: Would you then waived the airstrike and put maybe the 4 Franzac Fighters to Greece?

No

@JDOW:

I have the option to even hold Caucasus which is another -2 for the arch enemy of my Germans.

You’re going down, JDOW

So let me just wipe that bugs occupying and suppressing my Greek fellows with the AA missing again and we are good again, ok? ;)

I wasn’t sure if you were going to attack this turn.  Bring it - make sure to bring 3 planes  :wink:

I’m going to bed now - I won’t be available for any decisions for about 7 hours

Right, right, after thinking about it I realized it was very unlikely

5 rounds of good German dice - wonderful  :-(
So much for the AA

Just make sure you roll at least 4 convoy damage for yourself  :-D
