Yeah max defense. RIP.
Well I got a -77 score from an expected +24. I think I am the one saying RIP.

what am I saying, of course you’ll lose it. Silly me.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
Disregard that turn. I think I need to redo it. It’s too late, as usual. :(
Have only 5-15 min, but will try to look at it and redo the round. Most likely the dice for convoys won’t be affected.
GO ahead. I won’t be able to do much for the next few days in any case, unless I can finish these papers a lot quicker than I have been so far! No actual combat in any case. :)
Thanks. I’m heavily losing this, but will struggle a little while more.
I’m in a similar position in my other game (where I’m Axis), but I still have hope I can bust out. We’ll see!
Man, going for Sealion is pretty much always a trap, isn’t it? Really should not have done that.
I didn’t intend any Sea Lion, but the threat is good. Mainly it’s about shuffling troops towards Moscow and trying to keep Norway safe. It doesn’t really work out here, but I blame dice. ;)
I think I need a bit of a desperado for Japan now. I’m so screwed in the Pacific after the FIC debacle.
I was talking about the fact that I did Sealion in my other game! I won handily, and poor Germany has been at the utter mercy of Russia ever since.
Ah, I understand. Yes, an early Sea Lion seems to be always bad, unless the Allied player doesn’t have a clue about pressure.
So, did you want to re-do that turn then? In any case, I might not be able to post today - work is killing me.
I’m on it, trying to fit in making it. Not sure which gamble I’ll do though; Tokyo or Philly. On a heavy losing streak, so I’m pretty confident I’ll lose anyway. Perhaps a rematch could be nice when the time comes?
I would love a rematch! Do you want to just skip to that part? I suppose you might as well make your play if you think you’ve still got a shot. Happy to switch sides with the same bid, of course.
I failed miserably with Axis, so would actually like to try it again. Don’t think we need a bidding process, but what do you think would be a fair bid level considering our level of play?
@trulpen said in trulpen (X) vs Shin-Ji (A), BM3, bid 7 for A:
Not sure which gamble I’ll do though; Tokyo or Philly.
Sorry, thought of another game.
