13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman01 (Allies +10)

[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…

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?

[gamerman01]

Good game to you too

[wheatbeer]

Sure, I’m up for a rematch  :-)

[gamerman01]

Great - start the bidding

[wheatbeer]

(are we playing with the 1 unit per territory limit? or just official league rules only?)

I’ll take the Allies at +12

No rush, I’m going to be on the road much of today.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, I’m in favor of 1 unit per territory
I assume we continue with tech, too

I’ll bid 10

[wheatbeer]

+9

[gamerman01]

Man, that is very tempting, especially because I usually play Allies and you usually play Axis

But I play the Allies a lot for a reason….

+8

[wheatbeer]

I’ll give you 8, let me know what you’d like

[gamerman01]

Hehe, that’s why I’m almost always Allies - I bid low……

Was hoping to shift roles, but alas, there’s no way you would bid as low as I was prepared to go…  :-P

I want a destroyer in 91

[wheatbeer]

Maybe next season my bids will get low enough  :lol: I was mostly giving double digits this season (except when people opened with a single digit offer).

I’ll post a G1 tomorrow.

[gamerman01]

OK, looking forward to another good game
