Savegame

@AcesWild5049
ill concede here, gg.

id like to give it one more if youre still down, with RR.

@Avin said in Classic 2nd edition, Avin (Allies) vs AcesWild (Axis), no bid:

Good game!

And sure. I’m going to bed now but feel free to just take the savegame from the beginning of this one with my first Russia turn as I would do the same thing again and with no dice on RR it will have the same outcome.

sounds good just not sure how to post under a new thread once ive completed G1

This is what was going on in my brain in regards to that:

I think I’ll die a lot faster or even lose the option to counterattack if I’m forced to fly through that AA gun every turn on the counterattacks. I need these fighters to reliably attack S Europe and return to Germany for defense bc any land forces I use will be stuck there with no option to return. I need to ensure I can have this counterattack option turn after turn or he could potentially move in enough troops to force me to dump everything in there to take it leaving Germany too weak to repel an attack or poof, he has an industry right next door to Germany. This happens in almost every game I play in which the Axis player loses. Either in S Europe or W Europe where the allies just build an industry. Japan needs as many turn as I can give it to make its way to Russia/Middle East, Africa. shrug hope he rolls low on strat bombing…

**I also wasn’t sure of the “order of operations” in regards to the strategic bombings, i.e. I’m slightly embarrassed to say that I learned in a trial by fire manner that you can strat bomb an industry before seizing the territory with ground troops. Oh well, even if I was sure, it wouldn’t have changed anything on my end. If you find a clarifying sentence/rule about that in the 2nd Edition RB or supplement, do let me know

gimmie a day or two to catch up on recording the dice from the last couple turns and I’ll do Germany’s turn.

appreciate ya playing these with me.

you got an email? ill send you my crappy spreadsheet and maybe you can use your super abilities to make it more workable

I recorded everything up to and including the turn in which britain captured Germany, after that I stopped recording
