14L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +15)

[wheatbeer]

Germany’s pretty indifferent about whether land units were on London or Scotland since they can’t assist any liberation attempt of a VC from either spot. So I would have ignored them.

[boldfresh]

Ok thanks

[boldfresh]

Getting ready to roll hopefully

[boldfresh]

current map pre USA 27

[boldfresh]

ah nice move - did not think of you putting the italian destroyer into z95

[boldfresh]

should have just landed 1 infantry on sicily.

[boldfresh]

Any chance u will let me keep my USA units on the USAtransports Iin 95 to start this turn…. ha?

[wheatbeer]

If you really want to, you can make it so you landed only a single 1 infantry in Sicily (and that the remaining Americans on Sicily remain loaded on American transports in SZ95) … but don’t forget that I retain a low luck reroll and (unless I am missing something), that would only bump your odds in Cairo to 1% (maybe 2% if you factor in UK followup).

[boldfresh]

I really want to keep all Americans but one on the transports and keep the UK in on the UK trn as well.  But only with your unqualified permission.

Cheers

Amazing How We Are So Often Blind To Something We Have Never seen.  Never had to worry about an Italian trn in z95 lol

[boldfresh]

I do think i have plans you are unaware of as well and maybe you could learn something.  It could be a valuable lesson and you will still win the game.  Up for it?

[wheatbeer]

I can think of one thing … but it’s roughly a 1 in 6 shot.

You can go ahead and reload your 7 Americans and 1 Brit.

[wheatbeer]

Actually, maybe we’re not thinking of the same thing.

I forgot that we started this as a no-tech game.

[boldfresh]

Do u want to change your Italian buy so something other than des?

[wheatbeer]

Nope, still keeps the one American in place.

[boldfresh]

Get ready for a fun discovery.  You will crush me still I’m certain.

[wheatbeer]

Ah, I see now. Rio de Oro has a tiny border with Algeria  :lol:

Buys the Allies 3 or 4 extra rounds.

ok wheat, your prize for allowing me to compensate for the ridiculous blind spot i had is for me to enlighten you to a blind spot of your own.  bombers from rio can hit egypt - keep that in the vault for the “ace up the sleeve” moment of pure desperation.  i set it up perfectly except for not thinking of the destroyer in 95, part of my rush on the move.  i thought long and hard about the move, but not about that “minor” logistical issue.  :lol:  surely it didn’t help that i’ve been far too busy for far too long… i was so excited about the solution i had found to postpone your victory for at least one more round that i just couldn’t wait any longer to post the move - the wise thing would have been not to try to rush a post before the end of the day.  :-P

Nope, still keeps the one American in place.

aha!!!  just saw you posted this.  nice work  :-)
