Guys, this is a super exciting game, highlighting the rule of a VC victory which must hold one round. There is no doubt that in a world domination game, the Axis have ZERO chance, however the Allies have their hands full to avoid the Axis to hold 8 Europe VCs 1 round.
1 turn before I though the Axis were lost, now I think the dice have to decide but I could not exactly say who is gonna win that.

Thanks for the game to both players!

ok need scramble orders for italy, and ool for that sea battle

yeah this game is getting epic.  it wouldn’t have been as tight had I won that 95% ukraine battle which would have delayed russia falling by at least a turn if not 2.

[hobo]

sorry again, forgot to move the usa dude to libya to take that note before you decide scramble.  I don’t want to repost the turn with this move but let me know if you prefer it.

[wheatbeer]

no need to repost for that, let me think a moment if there ought to be any nuance to OOL

[hobo]

honestly it wasn’t a trick move, I just wanted the extra ipc and single dudes are easy to forget. I forgot to move the us transport that one turn which cost anzac 5 ipcs  :|

[wheatbeer]

scramble 3 fighters

OOL:
sub
damage battleship
damage carriers
sink carriers
tactical bomber
sink cruisers
Japanese fighters

[hobo]

well that was unexpected  :-o

I don’t feel so bad about ukraine anymore  :evil:

[wheatbeer]

Yeah, that battle in SZ95 was a crushing against odds defeat that trashes my plan. The US being able to NCM unload in NITA was not expected.

[hobo]

well the plan wasnt for italy although now that’s in play.  didn’t matter if I won z95 or not since all those ships would have been dead regardless and that was the point to prevent blockers.

even if I couldn’t hold n italy I still could have heavily threaten italy with 11 on the usa attack plus 16 on the following uk attack so you would have had to defend it fairly well.

plus a move out of france to take back n italy would have given me another out on the paris vc if it came to that…

[wheatbeer]

this may take some mulling
