14L NT Arathorn (Axis) vs Wheatbeer (Allies +19)

[wheatbeer]

If it ends after the 2013 season ends then I’d like it to count for 2014. If it ends before then, I am okay with making it 2013 or 2014 but we should pick now (doesn’t make a difference to me if you have a preference).

For future reference:
We each start with 1 low luck reroll opportunity for a battle on either offense or defense, if both sides use theirs then they are replenished 1 per side again (if the defender uses a reroll then the attacker has the right to alter NCM/placement naturally).

Thinking about bid placement now.

[seth4god]

Wowza, that’s a LOT of allied cash to start the game with. All kinds of choices with that bid.

[wheatbeer]

arathorn already kicked my butt giving me +16

[seth4god]

Arathorn, if it’s not too late perhaps we can rebid our game.  :wink:

I keed.

[wheatbeer]

Too many options … but I’m going with:

UK sub SZ98
UK tact Malta
2 IPC to London’s bank

So if the match ends before the 2013 season ends, are we reporting it then? Or are we going to wait until the 2014 season to report the result if that happens?

Either is fine by me.

Yes. If we finish before nov 1 it’s 2013, if not, it’s 2014.

[arathorn]

Japan will come a little bit later.
Out running an errand.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure there wouldn’t be any dispute later since I’d rather have a loss in 2013 and rather have a win in 2014, as would many players I imagine  :lol:

No rush … this open is pretty neat for a Barbarossa-centric open. I hate the G1 attack style Barbarossa, but I like this.

[arathorn]

Did you like it from the pow of Germany or Russia?
;)

[wheatbeer]

From the POV of Germany. Sending mobile east rather than to Paris as is conventional should make a big difference.

Even though the UK retains more strength and has some flexibility in the opening Buy, they have no choice but to be the hero in Europe and fast.

[seth4god]

He used the same German opening in both our games. Let’s see how we both respond and where he goes from here.

[wheatbeer]

Heheh, well hopefully one of us wins, or at least loses in an educational way  :lol:

[seth4god]

Well, in that case. I hope I’m the one that wins and you’re the one that loses in an educational way.  :-P
