@Stucifer said in 2025 PTV Playoffs Stucifer (X+13) vs Adam514:

@Adam514 Looks like I shift+clicked here there should have been a tac left on the carrier in 38, but I understand if it’s too late to fix it.

3 artilleries, 2 fighters, 3 infantry, 2 marines and 2 tactical_bombers moved from 38 Sea Zone to Malaya

Ah yeah I don’t use that functionality so that didn’t occur to me that that might have happened. I didn’t go for some other options in order to be able to set up that attack. I think it’s too late to change the move. Hopefully the dice in that battle are fair.

@nikola1975 yes, the russian attack was surprisingly close, but even if I captured it I don’t think it would have helped. I need to change my allied and axis strategies going forward. Abandoning Moscow and Stalingrad isn’t a viable plan…and to think, I was actually feeling good about this game with the naval victories in the MED & Pacific.

yes, I will play another. I’ll start the bidding at 21 for the axis…
