@sunkhareb said in Simon (Alliex+19) vs Sunkhareb (Axis) BM:
holy moly… shockingly bad dice lol
-3 Luftwaffe but you won all the important battles and kept the BB. Only lost inf in France. So could be worse.
If you’re ok with pausing, then it’s perhaps a good thing so I don’t disappoint you. And I’ll kick start it asap anyway. You can probably see that I play two games, but they are easy (and I play pretty bad), while our is complex and tough for me. Would like to atleast try and give you a match.
I think it might be doable next week. The second week usually feels half decent atleast. Might be more fun for you to perhaps start a new game than wait for me.
@trulpen you are definitely giving me a match already. But yeah, I’d rather you prioritize your health than stress over the game. And if I know we have a pause than I won’t be waiting for a turn. So lets pause for a week and touch base then. We can decide to continue then or postpone for longer depending on how you are feeling.
Thanks! It’s a good plan.
Feeling to sick to sleep. It’s 2 AM here. 🤢
Have tried to look it over and have decided to try and protect Germany rather than saving the italian fleet. Also less pressure against Russia this way, which is highly dubious.
Many edits, but think I got it right. Please check.
@trulpen can you breakdown the change to the purchase. I can see that you now have fewer units and bought more air instead of land units. I can review the edits but because there are a lot of them, this would help me make sense of it.

Sure thing. I’ll post a summary after posting Japan here.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :

Japanese regular : 1,33
ANZAC regular : -0,33
The tr will go to z35. Think it’s solid enough there with all the kamikaze as backup.
Summary of the german purchase changes:
1 art became an inf in Ukraine (+1)
Remove 1 inf from Leningrad (+3)
Removed 7 mech from Germany (+28)
Removed 2 inf and 1 art from France (+10)
Bought 1 ac, 1 sub and 2 fig (-42)
Took away 4 mech from GSG, but added only 3 to France, so add one more mech there.
Think I had taken away 1 inf too little, so this is adjusted.
@trulpen it looks right to me. Lots of moving parts so hard to be 100% sure, but it should be pretty close.
I’ve looked through it several times and it sure is a mess. I’ll look at it some more.
I find it amazing how strong Japan looks after not buying the mIC in Shantung and stacking the Carolines a bit extra. Perhaps it’s an illusion?
@trulpen Japan is doing quite well and definitely the longer you can hold Caroline Islands the better. I had one disastrous move with China though which has probably sped up the conquest there. Back in round 5 I did two 4 inf against 1 inf attacks and lost them both. So you have had less pressure on one front.
@trulpen I assume you are not going to scramble here but posting just in case. UKcombat.tsvg
Don’t even need to look. The fleet is toast.
@trulpen I did hold back a carrier. If the fig joined the odds were a fraction of a percent less than a 100% and the tuv gain dropped by 4. I still would certainly not have risked it, but thought I should have a save just in case.
It doesn’t show up in the game summary but I edited in a walk in on Tobruk.
