BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 they don’t seem to have all come through yet, but I had some nice dice there.

[gamerman01]

I see minuses for me and pluses for you!

I guess since my post to forum doesn’t work, I never see my own when I get lucky against players.

Don’t worry, the psychological warfare will continue. I don’t just depend on wildly unpredictable dice to save me.

I’d use emojis, but I know you catch my nuances

[gamerman01]

Perfect Russian round

Death to the German invader - 1 infantry annihilated

(I’m allowed to be sassy - the dice let you get by Moscow)

@farmboy you got the AA back

[gamerman01]

Jap planes aren’t nearly as important as Russian ones!

I’ll take it!

Allies around India have been vicious.

[gamerman01]

Especially at the start of the huge stack battle. :astonished: :confounded:
Not complaining, I was due for that correction, and now Japan is running into it again

[gamerman01]

Done through China 6, probably won’t play tonight, tomorrow not sure either.

[gamerman01]

I knew there was something American I didn’t move…
Fighter to Moscow from Nenetsia

C6 edit fighter.tsvg

[gamerman01]

Gonna try to finish it now

[gamerman01]

Was feeling good until Caucasus. I added the fighter to the combat move after agonizing, just for this reason. Fighter down, could have been worse.

UK6.tsvg

[gamerman01]

That one took awhile. There is no room for error! It’s the championship!!!

[gamerman01]

Edit request for UK NCM -

Is it too late? Or will you allow?

It involves 2 units located near London

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 haven’t been able to look yet so all good. Go ahead.

[gamerman01]

It might not even be an improvement, depending on what you do.

But anyway, thanks for the good sportsmanship -

1 fighter to 110 UK carrier instead of Normandy, and 1 DD to 92 instead of 110 -
Game notes updated so we know 2 UK fighters on 1 UK carrier

As a courtesy - I am unlikely to play tonight - had a big day. Great to see your post, sorry about the sub, but not really after my precious fighter inexplicably went down over the Caucasus.

You did kill the sub, after all!!

[gamerman01]

Well, we don’t want all the dice to go the way expected! Fun game, we have our hands at each other’s throats in different areas, that’s the way it’s supposed to be!
