@giallo no rush, but sure we can do the same. I would guess that the bid was pretty even since it went 20+ rounds.

@sovietishcat Thanks! GG. These 2 games have had a unique twist with the Russians trying to push into Japan early. I’m not sure if it was useful or not. The Japanese made short work of the Russians and it greatly helped the Germans as there was nothing to worry about from the East.

But the Japanese were hamstrung for the rest of the game. I simply just built a regional power that seemed to shrink and grow fitfully. It did ensure that Japan did not DOW J1, but Japan always has a hard time winning the game (for me anyway). So I wonder what would have happened with a less aggressive Russian push. – Impossible to know, as the game would have completely different character. Strange how 1 move changes the game so much.

@cornwallis said in Can Tac Bombers Escort a Bombing Raid, but choose not to bomb?:

@panther but what if you send them in to bomb an air or Naval base, then they do participate in the dog fight?

Yes.

@surfer thank you for the games.
I’m pretty close to being able to play extra games. so when you get there maybe we can play some more.

@wizmark gg. I really thought the game was going my way and then it suddenly wasn’t on a whole bunch of fronts. I think the problem i had was i could take territory, but never catch a significant force early enough to matter.

Glad you had a good time! Yes, I enjoyed the holidays with the fam. Be glad to play! Since it’s a new year, we can even make it count. Please set it up as described above.

Happy New Year.

I sent my friend request to you.

Congrats on the win. You stayed with your plan, and never let me back.
I guess just let me know when you want to play.

That normally should have changed the game, but you had very solid play in Europe that I could not reverse. Cheers,

Ok, I haven’t played the Axis in 5 games now, so I’m definitely out of practice. Let’s switch.

Awesome! I flipped a coin and got Allies–Hey, I like a challenge. I created a new game at

I see no reason to bid either since the playtesting was supposed to fix that. I guess we’ll have to follow the PTV thread to make sure we aren’t surprised by the rules. One clarification I saw was that the NO for Germany about Caucasus needs to be stated as “Southern Caucasus” to get the bonus. I’m sure we’ll find others. Very curious to see how the island hopping and CV scramble rules change the Pacific.

Good luck. I await your first move.

@surfer his really stunk.

@surfer sounds good to me

Been away for awhile, looking for a game.

@wizmark yes GG. I guess you’re being brave taking the axis, considering our history🤔

Sure, rubber match is on. Put an inf in Sudan.

@surfer sounds good. thanks for the games.

@surfer Greetings. I just neede a fast temporary place to save this game file that I could access on my other PC while out of town. Sorry man.

@surfer i’ll try a 8 bid. a mech in egypt art. in sudan

Ok, sure, we won’t be able to assess the +6 bonus until we both tried this. I’ll wait for your next post since you start the game with your bid placement.

Good game.

Cheers,
