13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman01 (Allies +8) match 3

[gamerman01]

@wheatbeer:

I’d rather lose to bumps than to dice (ala game 2)  :lol:

Your game 3 dice haven’t been too good either…

[wheatbeer]

No rush. I expect the Soviets will crush Germany, or if not, keep me holed up for the rest of the game.

I am bummed that my PPG keeps taking hits though … first Jeff downgraded to tier 2 due to defeats by default, then tier 4 created (so six or so of my victories actually drag my score down), and now a string of losses  :|

[wheatbeer]

Scratch that, I’m over 3.5 still?

I missed Mallery’s promotion to tier 3, that’s a nice boost  :-D

[gamerman01]

I didn’t realize when I failed with tac/bomber vs. art/bomber that the French were sitting there ready to clean it up…
And what do you know, they actually pulled it off…
Bold says the French are your bane?

[wheatbeer]

Ever since Paris held against Germany in both games where kilroynothere and I took Allies in the XDAP tourney  :lol:

[gamerman01]

I will be afk soon, for a few hours, for church services

I’ll check again right before I leave, in about an hour, for scramble decision that you will need

Good luck with London - you’ll need to take it hard…

You are aware that taking over London will bring Russia into the war immediately?
Didn’t want you to make this move without that knowledge

[wheatbeer]

I am aware … I am also toying with the idea of attacking Eastern Poland instead (or possibly in addition, just cutting the Sea Lion odds to a coin-flip).

[gamerman01]

Yeah, figured that would mess with your head….

Probably better go with both, because if you don’t you have little chance…
I figured if you skipped London and wiped East Poland, I would still be in a good position since you bought 10 transports…

Looking forward to seeing what you do… and what havoc the dice will wreak on you  :wink:
