G40L Boldfresh (axis) vs. Stalingradski (allies +8) game 1

[Stalingradski]

I’d rather see a game with normal luck, every time, and let the best strategy/logistics/purchasing/innovation win.

But I don’t like LL  :-)

So what can you do?

Infrastructure and I in our F2F games use really good modified LL house rules, but they don’t translate to this format.

This entire game changed at Sydney. It was in the bag, except for the dice  :?

[boldfresh]

No aa hits right?

We can start game 2 this ones over soon.  Same bid amount switch sides?

[Stalingradski]

No aa hits… I expected to lose two that round, zero happened… I’ve been way too lucky on strat bombing - only lost one I can remember… silly dice at that point.

[Stalingradski]

Yes, same bid amount switch sides - where do you want your bid? I’ll start it up tonight -

[boldfresh]

inf to alex, inf to new guinea, 2 ipc to anzac  :-P

[Stalingradski]

Scramble in 110 or 111?

scrambles 110 111.tsvg

[boldfresh]

no scrambles.  may the dice hit you hard.  :evil:  somehow i know they wont.

[Stalingradski]

Ok - thanks - you answered here -

[Stalingradski]

A friendly bump  :-)

[boldfresh]

thanks, working on catching up after the weekend away.  leaving the hardest ones for last at the moment (which means yours).  should come tonight or tomorrow for both.  also i know you have a few games going - some who dont have so many are pushing me for moves.

cheers!

[Stalingradski]

Bold - no worries - it doesn’t have to be an official bump. Every now and then people forget who’d turn it is (I do it quite often) -  :-)

[boldfresh]

@Stalingradski:

Bold - no worries - it doesn’t have to be an official bump. Every now and then people forget who’d turn it is (I do it quite often) -  :-)

totally understood.  this US/UK move is likely one of the biggest of the game so need some uninterupted time to work through it (not your quick 10 minute no brainer).  and our game 1, i have totally lost track of at the moment, but have it already in the win column for you in my mind, so it will come after the game 2 move.

cheers
