40 Europe 2E Colt(+8) vs ERommel

[FMErwinRommel]

All day I’ve been messing up in A&A.  How did I overlook the Ita tank again.  And why don’t the dice ever save me.  I never got a Marti for the inf in Bry.  This is irritating since it doesn’t let us see how these alternative strategies work.  I think the USA sub and fig strategy is feasible.

[FMErwinRommel]

I didn’t even put all my builds in Mos.  There is no way that Ger should be able to take Mos in T5, i’m just not with it today.  So what did Rus roll in Bry?

[Colt45554]

my marti shows a 4.

[FMErwinRommel]

This was an unusual game in that Ger didn’t use it’s air in Rus.

[Colt45554]

I don’t consider this match a done deal, yet. I will lose my tanks in the counter-attack and the Brits keep advancing.

[FMErwinRommel]

But Rus won’t get to build with it’s bigger income that Ger gets and Ger has 2 inf armies.  Bri can’t take Egypt this turn and if uses 1 fig to sink the trans, it has only a 50/50 chance of retaking Iraq.  But we’ll slog on to see how the USA strategy works.  But it won’t realistic with Ger’s big income.

I lost fewer tanks than I thought I would. Yeah, this one is probably over haha.

Received 7 Ger and only 2 Rus marti emails.
