Ok, I’ll set it up.

I know it is.

But hey, that win in Finland was sweeet for the ruskies! :laughing:

Were my soldiers drunk on vodka, or what?

Lets go strict rules. No Guinea Pig.

Germany can reach Moscow in six months

That’s a long time to dwell on a move. ;)

Apart from that, really interesting changes.

In that case I simply miscalculated. Wasn’t aware. A bad move by me, but the dice still were pretty severe, right?

Sorry, not FIC, since China can’t go there. Only comes pressure when the brits enter Yunnan. That’s a clear weakness of this strategy.

Potentially reckless strategy, but spices things up:

Add a mech infantry in Burma and attack the 2 Japanese infantry in Siam on UK Pacific 1.

Japan is now in a situation where taking French Indochina cost them 10 IPC even without involving the US. Japan will also abstain from taking Philippines and US Naval and air has plenty of time to bail out to safety.

UK Pacific and Anzac capture an extra 10 IPC between them.

The major downside is that the US cannot attack until turn 4, which is an eternity for the allied side.

If that is the path taken, the European side (both UK and Soviet) need to support India / put pressure elsewhere.

I do not like passively waiting for Japan to take over, but it’s a beast, very hard to take down or even slow down.

Hehe, that’s fun, but will not happen here. ;)

Enough talking so far, who is up for a game of PtV against me? @trulpen @regularkid @Amon-Sul @Adam514 ???
Doing only one for now since my moves will take a time absorbing all the possibilities.
Who comes first goes first!

I am hungry!

I’m on!

Thanks! That’s very sportsmanshipy of you! :)

Low luck becomes a lot like chess then? Not to be misinterpreted; I love chess! :checkered_flag: :laughing:

@trulpen cool! Do we have a final bid then? Can we let gamer work on his opening? :)

The bid will be finalized on Wednesday evening UTC+2.

Casual or league?

Yeah, when in war you can’t share hostile sea zones, except for subs and no present des.

If Italy gets Ukraine it’s golden! Won’t happen of course. Germany can make use of that mIC, while Italy will have a hard time for it.

Colossus is set in motion.

Enjoy!

I’ll roll for factory aa and then sbr if the sb survives. On my way to school, so maybe in 30 min.

Discovered this game tonight, and found it to be very interesting analysis for a newer player such as myself. (But learning fast! Played 3 games on board and 7 online in last month! I have caught the bug lol). The biggest thing I personally disagree with so far was UK in the med. My usual UK1 is Taranto, Ethiopia, take Persia, fall back to cairo from Alexandria, drop the facility in Cairo if there is less Sea-lion threat depending on my bid. If Sea-lion threat is strong, I will do like a few infantry and a fighter in London. I don’t go heavy defense because I’m not convinced sealion is actually effective even if it is successful due to the threat of US counter. Rest of IPC going to either UK navy (where depends on what is dead/what ran away, either Canada, 109, etc). Just my two sense, and I am kind of new so take it with a grain of salt. Really enjoying the show y’all. Keep it up! :)

Welcome! That’s about right. Should’ve done Taranto or stacked z92. Ethiopia is not really called for.

@regularkid

so the path to victory starts with no bid for either side?

We are simply clueless.

Did the manual rolls. Check dice mail for confirmation.

1. aa: 4
2. SBR: 1+2 = 3 dmg on mIC in Volgograd

@trulpen surely you mean dive dive dive don’t you?? Think that maybe a typo??

Lol, good you caught it!

1. Submerge
2. No scramble

In the objectives description, shouldn’t the chinese one say “Eastern India”?
