11L Game2 '41 Ol'Blood&Guts (x) v. Boldfresh (7) no tech

[Guest]

@Boldfresh:

which game against DM are you referring to, game 1 or game 2?  game 1 just took a crazy turn when i took my entire russian stack and slammed it into kazak.  i got an upper 10% roll after getting killed all game with the russians on attack and broke through into kaz in one round.  should be very interesting to see where that game leads.

I am not sure but it is the one where you just finished UK13

Just looking to whittle 'em down…

[Guest]

4ftr or 3ftr bmr?

[boldfresh]

lose the UK bomber.

[boldfresh]

just looking to whittle them down is the story of my A&A life.  everytime someone tries to “whittle down” one of my big stacks, it goes all the way down.

[boldfresh]

stunningly bad defensive rolling combined with very good offensive rolling.  ouch.

I will probably resign and we can start the bidding for game 3 but let me have a look tomorrow when I can survey the damage on a map.

I have weathered a lot of bad luck lately (in almost every game I am playing) but that was probably a death blow.

No problem at all…I have looked at both Italian fleets and the UK will have a hard time sinking either one. Which will leave open a triple amphibious assault on Gibralter, Algeria, and the UK. If they are successful, the Axis will have the 15 VCs required for victory and the Americans have no troops close enough to liberate any of them.

You may start the bidding if you like. We can even start the next game if you wish to continue this one.
