@Daaras I’m not quite sure I have heard both on this forum.
16L G40 Balanced Mod 2.0 Arthur Bomber Harris (Allies) vs Shin Ji (Axis)
-
Yeah, the dice have been kind one too many times. That was my last best hope. Do you see any chance for me to win, or should I call it a game?
-
At this point, it’s tough to say exactly, but the screws are officially on Japan. I can’t see Japan winning at this point. Anzac is unconquerable, and I won’t be leaving Hawaii open again. Germany is on a losing trajectory just fighting Russia, never mind if the rest bother to help.
So yea, I think this game is pretty much over. But you might disagree, and I wouldn’t hold it against you. There have been so many times where I was certain of a win, only to see it snatched away…

That was interesting. I am going to take a break for now. I am not sure if I like the balanced mod. It makes Russia into a juggernaut that rarely can get stopped.

But you did sea lion!
Sea lion was steroids for Russia in vanilla, too and in BM Germany gets at least rewarded with another 5 per turn for that:D
