[BSD]

I’m out of town for Memorial Day weekend.  i will take this turn as soon as i get back.

[BSD]

You got me, GG WP.

[BSD]

Rematch?

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Sure

[BSD]

OK, I bid 4 for Axis on BM3

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Pouff!?!, you poker high, ehm…

Counter with Axis plus 3.

[JDOW]

Frankly, just my 2 cent. I would have certainly not give up such a game before the dice a rolled.

1. 6% chance that Egypt holds (maybe 1-2% after Italy smashed in)

2. Allies could have taken Norway and definitely stop victory conditions for another turn by taking Novo. Keep in mind that Rome is at risk too.

I really think in such all-in situation in which Axis need to win in a certain time window it is worth fighting as Allies as long as victory conditions are 100% met. Also UK threatens to slowly reclaim the middle east.

Certainly, Axis remain huge favorite but I would have fought till the end:)

[JDOW]

Oh, and I realized I did not count the 2 persia fighters.

As said, this battle is not just 94%. In case Axis win with a tank and a bomber remaining I believe the Axis have good chances. So the window that leaves the game playable is not 6% but maybe 10-15%.

@aequitas:
