@farmboy said in 19L axis-dominion vs farmboy (allies+6) bm3:

@axis-dominion Its an interesting move for sure and the next US/UK turn is going to be more complicated to figure out than the last.

Yah things are pretty tight all over. It’s a close match and getting more epic by the round, but I’d say allies have a distinct economic edge.

I’d like to think more about that Russian sub but can’t do in the moment (because it involves a lot of thinking of where the US and UK go). Thought you might be fine with me deciding on that after Japan goes. (Although I suppose it is possible that where japan goes will determine what the US/UK do in the atlantic too).

Yeah. I’m pleasantly surprised that I have kept that this long in this game. But it certainly seems far from over.

I’ll commit to leaving the Soviet sub where it is.

not having much luck with those bombers. first the German bomber in round 1, then the Italian, now both Japanese ones

I think I had a couple of rounds of poor defensive rolling but in otherwise inconsequential battles. The luck came at the right time and this more than made up for it.
