G40 2nd ed. oysteilo (axis) vs. ShadowHAwk (allies, no bid)

looks like I forgot to blitz back and forth in Kasakstan as well.

In any case this is probably the game on the line here. So far I got OK dice, great dice for UK will break me. I am about 70% to win and “hoping” for some love from the dice gods as I desperately need it

We will see, you most likely barely win the battle with germany there.

The dice gods didnt do it for you did they. Well even if you would have won with 2 tanks left i would attack them and your weak in russia now

Yeah, it was not a good result for me, you hit well, ohh well. I think it was the best chance for me. I was supposed to live with 4 tanks on average and I have 4 japs to support, so no, you could not take it back this round

aha

I saw the four units but didn’t notice any planes, didnt really look either….we will se how it goes. Japan coming up in not to long

so on borneo I forget to bring 2 fighters and 2 tacs from the adjecant sz into the fight. Of course you score hits with both of your infantery

for the planes

Rolls: 2@3 2@4; Total Hits: 32@3: (1, 6)2@4: (4, 1)

all right, great game I have nothing here

I was not prepared for your extremely aggressive play and I made too many mistakes early on. So I guess you showed me wrong!

@ShadowHAwk:

@oysteilo:

Well that is how you should play allies, hit the axis every angle you get.

Although you made a nice move into the middle east there. Could be deadly if the dice go against me but i could destroy a large part of your tanks again.

As soon as you divert resources away from moscow russia can become bigger again. and that is kinda deadly for germany

I was hoping to squezze out a pacific win, but need several rounds for that which I don’t have. So that is why, you you showed a good way to play allies, no question about that! It was fun to play you!

We can start a new game basicaly.
So a new chance for you as axis, or you can try the allies if you like :)

I dont know, would be nice, but not sure if I fancy the allies chances and “beating” you with axis and zero bid is kind of lame. Although I failed misarably this time.

Well i kinda beat you with a 0 bid, and im doing alright against colt with a 0 bid ( he even had great dice with italy and japan round 1 and 2 )
So 0 bid isnt really lame, bids become interesting once both players are verry experienced playing the axis and the allies need something to beef them up.

You could also play axis again ( see how you fair next round ) im learning from this as well.

All right, I can fire it up tonight. I would like to try again with axis

Sure im doing a RL game as well so might not respond in 10 minutes like usual :D

O and dont call it lame playing with a 0 bid as im doing that most of the time :)

It seems like I am starting a few games so no rush with rapid replies. Regarding lame….it is not lame in the snse that you are lame, it is more lame in the sense I failed to beat you with zero bid, that is hugely annoying to me. Now, if I end up beating you this time around it proves nothing, I beat a guy with 0 bid, yikes! That is the lame part
