So in order to spare the lives of both but especially my troops I unconditionally surrender.

[axis-dominion]

good choice, and good game. you doomed yourself with that attack on rostov

[-Pete]

I thought I was toast! you had like 50 mechanized units ready to sweep through to egypt

[-Pete]

my calc said like 24% chance of winning which was infinitely more than I thought I had

[-Pete]

good game indeed though

[JDOW]

@-Pete:

Here is the point, a BM game is not over in case the Germans penetrate the middle east, especially as you had India back.
Keep in mind, Germans need to capture 8 VCs, how should this work with 50 units away from Russia?

You need to look at the big numbers:
TUV >+500 for the Allies after turn 10, thus usually means the Allies are ahead.
Also you were clearly ahead in terms of income (even after Germans penetrate middle east) and units on the board.

PLUS: Do not underestimate the ability of the Allies to shove units to Egypt in 2-3 turns. Transports rotating from SA to Egypt, US fighters and ground and stuff. Maybe Germans still capture it but they don’t grab entire Africa and they need so many units that Russia becomes an unleashed beast!

Also, wasn’t there a chance to retreat with the Russians at Rostov? Some people misjudge 24% because for 1-2 rounds the TUV can eve be rather even for low odds attack and the low odds just come from the cases the attacker fights till the end.

So daring such an attack is viable option if retreating in case the first round doesn’t go well is an option. And I guess that even in case you e.g. lose 10 units net in the first round your stack would still have been safe, wasn’t it?

[-Pete]

OK so my thoughts:

Germany was not just about to penetrate the ME but sweep it clean; all my units were involved in retaking India, which I had lost prematurely. Russia was already reduced to ~15 IPC and couldn’t stop the Axis stack from advancing. It felt like it was all downhill from there. Even if Ger splits her forces to head for the ME, she has plenty o time to build more to stop Russia from regaining any sort of income.

I was ahead in income, yes, for the time being, and was not doing critical damage anywhere, and the axis was only gonna get stronger.
