@Gamerman01:

Maybe I had edited them to the zone before…
Anyway, I did add the game note when I did it.

Now I’m editing 1 AA to a USA transport, so it will probably happen again

No worries, I am just paying attention to the game notes.

[wheatbeer]

I am noticing a significant Allied vulnerability … do you want me to point it out? Or do you want to play with the board as is?

[wheatbeer]

Or I guess I should just say … Germany has a very good shot at London right now. I might need to buy a carrier and/or sacrifice some fleet, but without running the math, it looks very doable.

[wheatbeer]

I would feel a little guilty taking advantage of an easily blocked Sea Lion … so if you want to move a ship to SZ111 or something, you can.

[gamerman01]

@wheatbeer:

I would feel a little guilty taking advantage of an easily blocked Sea Lion … so if you want to move a ship to SZ111 or something, you can.

Thanks for the offer.
I keep forgetting that there is this backdoor route from 112 to 109

But I say take your best shot.
UK only has 23 IPC’s, should be able to take back easily and immediately, and you have to overcome a full scramble to 109.  This also means you won’t be attacking Baltic States with everything possible

So even though I could have left the AA on London and dropped the 2 French infantry back (not to mention the UK infantry) or blocked it with a destroyer, I say

Take your best shot.  You earned it and deserved it (and I’m not even sure it’s your best move  :-D)

[wheatbeer]

I need to think about this one a bit … I hate to embolden the Soviets, but I love sacking London (which I feel like I end up do disproportionately often in the league).

[gamerman01]

I believe even if you take all air to London that you can, you still have a 10% chance of complete failure to take London.

But suit yourself

[gamerman01]

However, you could roll like 10 tech dice and go for LRA…

[wheatbeer]

I am traveling, so I will probably have limited availability between now and Monday morning.

I will give this game first priority though since you’ve been waiting longer.

[gamerman01]

It’s fine - have a great weekend, man  8-)

Ignore the NCM and placement … Europe isn’t salvageable now. Buying the upgrade this turn didn’t make sense either.

While Japan is still alive and kicking, I highly doubt that Gamerman will give me any opening to steal a Pacific VC win.

I am surrendering to the Allies, who kept their head despite losing the Mideast and Africa. Well played.

[wheatbeer]

Sorry if that’s anticlimactic, Allies had too many units and options and continental Europe. I should have bought more production sooner.

No, no, I think you made the right decision at about the right time
Thank you for the compliment and the sportsmanship - a very enjoyable experience overall for me (always helps to win)

Did you want a rematch?
