MrBlowboto (Allies) + Rus bmb vs Gargantua (Axis) G40 -ROUND 2-

[MrRoboto]

well yeah i could/should have moved in. although earlier i faced the danger of a one-two strike from italy+germany. i couldnt afford the risk of losing my fleet. but then again, with two airbases that risk could have been avoided.

maybe i focused too heavily on that whole normandy+southern france play. it worked out really well in other games - having two minor factories right next to germany with usa is super strong.

I still consider attacking, when you’re going to “lose” a bad decision, if you’re in front economically. you could just wait one or two more turns and you will win the battle with very few casualties.

[MrRoboto]

If that’s ok for you, we could just continue to play the game to see how it plays out in the next couple of rounds. I DO think i will get a hold of DEI.

I should rephrase.  You may take something “here” and “there”.  But there’s not going to be any “holding” for long. :P

As for the rest of the game, we can continue, dice have been with you for sometime.  But it won’t be enough.  :evil:

[MrRoboto]

sorry for the edit in holland.

i was sure i already moved my planes to attack holland. kinda strange, i could swear i moved them. well, i’m tired oO
i would have taken holland, but well - a little punishment for my failure has to be done i guess.

[Gargantua]

Wow… that’s like the 12 destroyers now that have hit NOTHING on defense.

[Gargantua]

So you removed my artillery without rolling your planes?

I just rolled 7 planes with no hits.  So I’ll be putting that artillery back on the board.

You can roll your planes here in the forum if you want.
