13L G40 League Playoff R2 - BOLD vs. JDOW (allies +11)

[JDOW]

that was a tricky and imo good move, setting up temptations and traps. The Novo stack was of course clear after you moved the IT tank in, but this creates an unusual situations for the Russians and makes their move complicated….

I hope you believe me that leaving 6 IPC unspent was an obvious miss click and that I of course wanted to buy 4 instead of 2 Inf and thus spend all IPC. I took the liberty to edit but you would need to confirm.

Sorry!

nice convoy rolling.

anyway, the only real combat was z39 - if you want to
scramble just go ahead and run the battle.

[boldfresh]

you have too much material wheat!!!  and i just keep getting
bombers shot down (4 in last 2 turns i think?)… in addition to smothering me in russia.  probably going to need to take some time to decide what desperate strategy I will try to employ here.  any chance you want to make this a full luck game from here on out to spice it up a tad and give me a sporting “chance”?  ie, no LL rerolls?
