2nd Playoff semi final sovietishcat (Allies+12) vs Simon33 (Axis)

@simon33 Scramble?

@simon33

Right, I was not a believer in leaving Normandy French, until it was forced upon me due to an extremely poor G1 round. Definitely helps Germany defend the Atlantic assault.

Had not looked at your re-balance before, but looks interesting. I’m not too experienced playing BM, but that would certainly give Germany a strong incentive to do Vichy or at least take it for the early income.

I agree 100%.

I felt good about the Europe side. My problem was my original plan was to split China and India at Yunnan and your move to DOW on UK2 totally eliminated that plan.

My revised plan was to go for India but as you said I quickly realized that meant the US was going to go wild. That forced me to take the 72% battle in Belarus that normally I would have ignored. Unfortunately, I went 4 units under average which put me in a position of status quo. I wasn’t behind, but I also wasn’t ahead, which was not good since I was in trouble in the Pacific.

Thus, when you accidentally gave me an 85% battle to knock out Yunnan I couldn’t pass up that opportunity. Unfortunately, for me, you won instead of me and given the rest of the board position the game as over.

Looking at the game via a debrief perspective, your plan was better than my plan. Because of that I was forced to take battles that relied on fair dice to get back into the game. With your mistake in Yunnan I easily could have got back into the game. But, the dice didn’t cooperate, which is why I always try to have a plan that doesn’t depend on fair dice.

Thanks again for the game. As always you learn more from losing than from winning. :)
