11L '41 Zhukov4 (Axis) vs. LL (Allies + 8) +NO, No Tech

[Zhukov44]

Yikes.  60 ipc worth of units for 24 ipc worth of units.  Zhukov is not a happy camper.

EUK taken with 2 infantry, artillery, tank, bomber

that was some crazy dice

Noncombat Moves
bomber to RUS
2 infantry from CHI to KAZ
6 infantry from YAK to EVE
AA gun from PER to KAZ
submarine from Z23 to Z28
AA gun from NOV to RUS

Mobilize
6 tanks in RUS

Income
26 + 1 saved = 27

Sorry about that.  I just didn’t see a better option.  It was either sit back and watch you mob CAU or take a shot.  Your play has been flawless, you have just taken the worse end of the dice this round.

Cheers

I guess it goes to show, it’s risky to corner a wounded animal  :|  I figured that might be my last chance to have an anywhere near even battle on the German-Soviet front.  Again, I feel bad, but this one is many dice from over.

Taken with two infantry, artillery, two tanks, bomber that is.  Was hoping to get three hits and retreat but that was just feeling greedy.

Yeah it was dumb of me to move to ekr, in hindsight.  I should have changed plans but didn’t think it thru.  Still, I really didn’t think you would attk, as the odds favored Axis.

I agree the axis were favored so i don’t think you can fault the move.  that will work out well for you more often than not.

[LuckyLindy]

your typing leaves two infantry in FIC but your map has them in BUR, should I go with the map?

[LuckyLindy]

also, your infantry that attacked CHI came from NIN and have to retreat to NIN.

[Zhukov44]

i see.  Yes, go with the map (infs on bur go to burma if they didn’t go to yun)

Also, np go ahead and move the 2 infs from sik to nin.
