LL reroll resulted in German capture of Samara with 2 tank, 1 fig, 6 tact, 2 strat remaining

One of the strategic bombers that hit Samara originally came from Ukraine and had sufficient movement left to land in Novgorod. The rest of my planes only had 1 or 2 movement left and landed in adjacent Tambov.

LL reroll log and final map on previous page

When I rolled the reroll, I added a description to the Game ID so that the MARTI emails for those rolls are easy to distinguish.

I think that is the game…i was surprised you abandoned asia so quick and felt overly confident and didn’t plan correctly for what you were setting up. I should have in retrospect let you attacked my usa fleet off siam, perhaps losing the fleet but taking down a good amount of air…GG, I will post the results. Let me know if you want a third?

[wheatbeer]

I owe axisdominion a rematch … but after that gets going, I’m happy to start a game 3.

This may be my slim-est victory ever … especially considering the need to cash in a LL reroll on Samara (by the way, do you want to keep that system for the next game?).

Seeing you do that well without Cairo for most of the game …your Allied game is damn strong.

yes, I am happy to keep the system for the next game. I made a few blunders that game, should have taken egypt back sooner, I was getting greedy and I shouldn’t have worried about protecting the med from the germans or my Pacific fleet from the Jpn airstrike…. Let me know when you are ready. GL against Axis D, if you can, let him have the allies. His axis game is strong

Thanks … as you’d expect, he utterly crushed me as Axis in game 1, by dice and by strategy. So mercifully I get to be Axis this go around.
