@simon33 Quite the dastardly plan from zee Germans
BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)
-
@farmboy We will have to see after 2 rounds but that might be more of a problem for the allies unless the trade was fairly close.
-
I don’t think it’s as big a gamble as you thought. Probably going another round, hang on
-
I understand feeling forced - I don’t think I was here, but nearly.
-
The AA was brutal

I understand there is a good chance that you would win or only lose in a way that is pyhrric for me. So if you went for it, the most likely outcomes were an allied win or a weakening of both sides that will favour the Allies longer term. But a more decisive axis win is a possibility too. And I figured you might not want to risk that because the allied position on the board is pretty strong.
-
Looked like a lot of red but you underrolled by 2
Probably can’t go again, but you’d better believe I’m going to check
-
Indeed it is strong. The numbers on 2-3 rounds were quite good. But once you’re in, I think I gotta go until it risks Moscow. Really enjoy the comments
-
I absolutely can’t let the Germans walk by Moscow with those odds. Germany has all the options and the allies don’t. You have to whack their stack. I have no doubt you made the right decision moving into Bryansk. You might have risked taking it with the Italians, though.
-
OK, now’s the point where you absolutely can’t keep going. Now it’s just a matter of how much you exploit and are aggressive, and how much you stay home around Moscow.
-
I can say this since I just lost 2 planes, all of my infantry, and some of my artillery:
Japan does have a very big problem in the South

I appreciate that. And I’m not surprised you went for it. And on top of the close odds, you also have the benefit of the good early trades here given the breakdown of units. But I thought I had to go for it and was hoping you wouldn’t, (or you would and the dice would go my way) And Japan’s situation is another reason I had to do it too.

Completely agree
Doing a post-mortem now

@gamerman01
Been watching this real time - and now i am outa popcorn.
BRB -
Cool - after that result it looks like there are many rounds of positioning, tricking, and mayhem and death ahead!
-
3 rounds, expected TUV was -17
I suffered a -68But…
One of my favorite calculators say you were in the top 10% of resultsAnd I was top 28%!!
BUT
It doesn’t take into account an extra 1.5 planes lostYou rolled 3 less hits than expected round 1, 1.7 less round 2, and 2 less in round 3.
Still a -68 which is 51 worse than average, but not as bad as it felt. Still pretty bad.
I know I don’t have to say this, but DON’T LET UP.
I’m still here. :ghost:
Have fun with J5
