13L Playoffs Hobo (axis) vs Gamerman01 (allies +12)

[hobo]

Use this map.  In my distraught state, I forgot to move the denmark dude down.

[gamerman01]

Well, good luck on G1 can pretty much doom the allies, too.  We’ll see what happens on J1…

You had about the best France I’ve ever seen, but I usually don’t kill more than one guy in Yugo  :-)

Losing every single sub sucks and is rare…
And of course the 110 defense was quite stiff and I am happy about that, obviously
But yes, the combination you got is really great for UK.  No subs to go get, and the battleship is a sitting duck, and miraculously no aircraft lost.
Of course, it would have been worse for you if you had a good enough first round in 110 to go a 2nd round and then got killed in the 2nd round

I agree, below average G1 dice, which is a relief to me after battling Wheat’s great dice all game including great G1…

Moscow’s probably doomed, so I’ve gotta make things happen elsewhere

[JDOW]

I’d say a bit unfair that the TT in 106 survived. Otherwise the France attack would have been some compensation as 4-5 extra ground will certainly help the Germans to hold the pressure by the Allies in the west.

This game is FAR from over.
