@simon33 I think the carrier buy set ghostglider back and might be where the game was won. The naval trade he made there wasn’t worth losing the german fast movers he could have bought and it meant I could stop him for a while at Bryansk. The G4 Dow was in that circumstance, probably the better choice. Had he done a G3, he would have just gotten stuck earlier and lost out on some income.

I was worried at first about the J1. I had looked at Ghostglider’s recent axis games and didn’t see him doing that. And because of the G1 moves, the US had to spend less on the pacific than I normally would early. But I managed to recover. Some better dice mid game helped me out as well. .

This is not resolved yet.

Maybe we need a cooldown period. Or maybe we just need @GeneralDisarray to weigh in again.

I can wait.

I’m in a 20+ rounder myself right now, and for the past 7 rounds or so I think both me and @oysteilo would have been happy to just resign to the other because it’s been exhausting. So maybe there’s a little bit of that going on here.
I don’t know your personalities, unfortunately, so I just suggest you guys sleep on this some more. How many hours have been invested in the game? It’s understandable to just be tired and something like this just an opportunity to end it all, but just looking at map and TUV for a minute, seems you’ve got a real barn-burner going here and no A&A fan wants to watch it end on an OOL miscommunication
