Oof. Very good dice for the Soviets this turn:
Net Allies dice swing: +4.31 swing
Net Axis dice swing: -4.31 swing
This means the Soviets ended up with 4.31 more units than they would’ve had otherwise.

@owentoo this one is over
@dawgoneit Well, thanks for the pair of games. It was good to get practice in learning the new board, and the new rules. There is a version 6.0 that you can upgrade to, and it modifies the map a little in the South Pacific.
I like PTV a little better than BM3. I think it makes for a more historical game, by putting greater value on Mayala (Singapore), making it a Victory city, and de-emphasizing French Indo-China and its adjacent sea zone, from which Axis BM3 players can threaten India from with a placed Naval Base.
I like the land and carrier scramble rules. I also like the map mods in China and USSR, making it harder for Japan to dominate China, and harder for the Germans to surround Moscow, which happens so often in BM3.
It also gives most Pacific islands 2 adjacent sea zones, and I like the new play dynamic that those changes bring to the game.
