Some crazy bomber-on-bomber mutual destruction

Gee, that was lucky for me. Obviously it was ill advised to do that bombing raid.

G1 on Russia! Unfortunately dice in E. Poland were somewhat rough for him but the perfect drive-by through Yugoslavia should salve that wound a little.

UK obliterated the Italian navy at Taranto (excellent choice given the G1 into Russia), Regia Marina hit back some, but is certainly living on borrowed time

@regularkid Wow, didn’t expect that. Thanks for the game and glad to see you playing again. Are you planning to stick around the league again?

@Stucifer said in L25 PTV Stucifer (X+11) vs Axis-Dominion (L):

Thanks for the game. Need a little break before taking on a 300-ELO difference again haha.

If you want to try out a low-luck non league game I can play a little more recklessly I’m game.

ok, well good game, and fwiw you fought much like a top tier player tbh, except for maybe taking unnecessary risks with big battles that show a bad avg tuv, imo, but i understand where you’re coming from and there’s always the attacker’s advantage of being able to retreat.

Thanks!
A more accurate statement would be, rather than the ELO difference, another challenging game against a top-tier opponent. I spend a lot of extra time on some league games and especially challenging turns, because I don’t trust my “feel” quite yet still
